My milkshake....

By Kellis was No. 1 this day 3 years ago....when my little Baby Eilis was born. Actually it was exactly at this time....9am....by C. Section...after a little bit of labour...!!

Unfortunately, today I have to go to Dublin to a v important work meeting, so I'm not going to be home in time but we had a little party at the weekend. She knew that the weekend was her 'party' and that today is her 'birthday' and we sent a cake to the creche and herself and her Dad will call next door for another little mini party with her fav. neighbours. Let me see if I have any suitable pics for the occasion.....

Here's the little mite, only a few hours old...thankfully her swelled oul mamma isn't in the pic - I looked dreadful! I never want to be the first mum of the new year...couldn't imagine having to have pics taken of you after the ordeal....or smiling for the newspaper/news. Good luck!

So my little chicken is 3 today....can't believe how quick the time flies. Some other things of note for the 31st of January are:
