Ija

Well it's hard to believe that Ija is 8 days old. I've seen her once- Andrew, Kath and I vivisted Sarah, Ija and Tim at the hospital on Tuesday. Already Ija looks different- her hair is not red now- more blonde with a ginger tinge, and her eyes may go hazel. All is well, and Sarah and Ija were able to go home on Wednesday. Andrew and I may go and visit one evening this week.

We're going away this weekend, Andrew and me- driving down to Christchurch to see Phil and Magenta. It was too dear to fly, so we will take the car over on the ferry. It's the middle of winter, we must be mad! We are likely to freeze down there!

I had my shoulder injected last week- but although I have slightly more movement in it, it's still painful. I'm hoping it starts to improve soon!
