Goodness me its been a long time since I updated this!
I shall
get round to doing a proper update some time soon.
In the mean time - this is the page I put together the day
or so after Zoë was born...
Step back in time>>>>>
We
are delighted to be able to tell you all that our first
daughter, Zoë,
was born on Friday 24th October, weighed 6lb 14.5oz (3.13kg).
Her
full name is Zoë Erzsébet Leighton. The middle name is the
Hungarian version of Elizabeth (Mim being half Hungarian as
you should all know by now!).
We thought it would be a nice thing for Zoë to have a reminder
of where her roots are and she can decide later in her life
if she wants to be Elizabeth or Erzsébet.
Visiting
If you fancy visiting, have a look at our calendar and
see if we are likely to be free - but do give us a call or
email us to give us warning as Mim is still feeling like she
has been run over by a bus...even if the bus gets slightly
smaller each day...
Help
We are really so touched by all the offers of help that
we have had from so many of you and may well take you up on
them at some time in the next few weeks!
Pressies
Quite a few of you have asked what you might be able to
get as a present for Zoë and we are in a bit of a quandary.
We
have had so much wonderful help in collecting all the baby
paraphenalia and clothing particularly from Hallam and Claire
Rose, and John and Tancy, and Geraldine (Dan's mum). Also,
as many of you know, we have more toys than we know what to
do with!
So even though we know many of you, our kind dear friends,
would love to get a little pressie we are really not sure
we have got room left in the house. So, we thought perhaps
we might suggest one of the following alternatives.
- Yvette has kindly offered to open a fund for Zoë and any
contributions to this will be a long lasting present which
will keep on growing.
Do make sure we have a record of your name so that we can
tell Zoë in years to come who contributed so kindly to her
nest egg!
- If you don't feel that is your thing...then send us a plant
for the garden and we can point it out to her as she grows
up! Ring Yvette
and have a chat with her about what will grow in our garden
- and don't worry, even if we ever move house (God forbid!)
we'll take the plants with us...
