Meeting Another Nanny

Tonight my mum came up, so I sneakily arranged for a "surprise" visit from Kataraina and her mum. Thankfully, Kataraina's nanna brought her digital camera, so we finally get to have some decent pics of Kat again!

Nanny Martha (my mum) had not seen Kataraina since she was born and was comatose in Middlemore Hospital, so it was a wonderful shock to not only see baby but to see how much she has grown now.

Nanny Martha was tentative and overly cautious at first, because she didn't want to accidentally cause Kataraina's feeding tube to come out or to cause her any discomfort. But once she had that baby in her arms, it was gonna take some fighting to get her to give her up again - it took AGES for the two nannas to finish their cuddles with baby when it was time for her mum to take her home for a feed!

But at least she managed to wake herself up right near the end of her visit, just long enough for Nanny Martha to see her opening her eyes and moving around and twisting up her face into all sorts of funny looks.

Luckily, Kataraina is a heavy sleeper and can be held and cuddled without causing her much disturbance at all!
