We're both still on cloud nine, and fully expecting the day-three downer. I've been happily changing nappies, wrapping up bubbs nice and tight, and just holding her and staring at her face while she and mummy sleep. You've got to experience it to know how powerful it is.
The three of us would like to thank you all for your kind messages and phone calls. We've really been blown away with the response, doubly so now that we're pretty isolated over here in Mordor. It was great to hear from you all.
Some of you have been asking about names. Well, Dzung and I had a smallish list, and wanted to wait and see who our little girl wanted to be. Sophie was a contender, as was Stella (suggested by beer-drinking friends, with much potential for "A Streetcar Named Desire" moments), but we finally decided on Eliza, with second name Anh, after Dzung's mum. I've already become used to calling her Eli-Anh. We'll see how that goes!
I'm extremely tired; I hardly slept at all last night, and when I did I dreamed of those black eyes staring up at me. Tonight I've come home, as we were moved from the birthing suite to a shared room, with a promise that we'll have our own private room, with double bed, tomorrow. Unforunately dads can't stay overnight in shared rooms, so I got Dzung some takeaway dinner (much better that the hospital food), and waited to put bubbs to bed. More news and piccies tomozza!
