Home with Little Boo
We’re home with our precious little girl! I am so exhausted and slightly delirious. I have 1 hour and 9 minutes before her next feed (if I’m lucky) so I had better go and have a nap, but in the mean time, here’s a little pic of Amelia at one day old. I am especially crazy about her disco hair (which you can’t see in this photo, more photos to follow soon). Thank you for all the lovely comments and warm wishes. My dad printed them out and brought them into the hospital for me and I will be sure to add them to Amelia’s time capsule.

She’s BEAUTIFUL!! I’m so happy for you Claire!!
Hope you’re having a FABULOUS NAP!

Is she named after Amelie, the movie? It would seem so fitting if she was; she’s already brought so much joy to the people around her.
8th October 2002 at 3:51 pm
She’s so beautiful! I feel like kissing her tiny hands. 
I hope Amelia’s life is filled with unlimited joy and smiles.
8th October 2002 at 3:53 pm
She is just the most adorable baby. Gorgeous, and looking robust and healthy too! Good luck with the napping!
8th October 2002 at 3:55 pm

She is absolutely gorgeous. And her name really suits her.
Enjoy every stolen moment of sleep that you can… if you can tear yourself away from watching her sleep.

Wonderful news that all is well, and good luck with the sleep schedule…

9th October 2002 at 5:56 am
what an adorable girl…sugar and spice and all things nice.
can I recommend a great book to have by your bedside? Baby Love by Robin Barker – this Aussie knows her stuff and I found it an invaluable, down-to-earth guide to everything about the first tumultuous year of parenthood.
love your site, thanks for sharing your journey.
9th October 2002 at 6:21 am
Beautiful baby! Congratulations! Hope everything is going well and you are managing to get a LITTLE rest, at least. BTW, the url isn’t mine, just a great childrens’ book site I wandered into today with my almost-4-or-possibly-very-short-26-year-old today.
9th October 2002 at 6:37 am
Oh, she’s so beautiful! Congratulations! And what a lovely name.
Hope you’re managing to get a little rest!
9th October 2002 at 6:37 am
Your baby is so sweet!! Congratulations for you Big-P, and for the newest member )
9th October 2002 at 6:56 am
Awww….
So beautiful and no wrinkles! Hehehe! I’m so happy for you Miss Claire!
9th October 2002 at 7:01 am
She’s so pretty, obviously you two have a good gene pool!
9th October 2002 at 7:05 am
Such a beautiful baby- and with such a beautiful name! Congratulations to you & Big P!
9th October 2002 at 7:36 am
i’m sure there’s enough people out there saying how cute she is – and this little girl really is! I can imagine her becoming a future beauty….awww…those cute red cheeks!
congrats again!
9th October 2002 at 7:41 am
You’re lucky I have no idea where you live or else I might have to become a kidnapper just so I could have her. She’s gorgeous. I love her name, also.
9th October 2002 at 7:53 am
She’s just sweet as they come! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing!
9th October 2002 at 9:08 am
what a beautiful baby… congratulations to you both, erm, all three!
9th October 2002 at 10:02 am
O my, Looby-lu! what an utterly adorable wee spot of joy! Her features are so fine and delicate! O perfect being! Does she have that wonderful milky baby smell? I can’t wait for all the details. I hope wee A.J. is a good napper, giving mommy lots of time to thrill her loobylu audience with all the tender thrills and details! hugs and kisses all around !
9th October 2002 at 11:02 am
Amelia is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see more pictures!
9th October 2002 at 11:04 am
Claire & Big P what a cutie pie! I hope everything is going well. Kisses and cheers to Amelia
9th October 2002 at 11:07 am
What a miracle! God Bless!
9th October 2002 at 11:11 am
Oh my, what a beautiful baby! I wish you all peaceful sleep and sweet dreams, and more baby laughs than baby tears.
Congratulations!
9th October 2002 at 11:17 am
Hope you continue to breastfeed successfully! Don’t forget to exploit your “new mom privilege” of napping with the baby.
9th October 2002 at 11:35 am
She’s totally gorgeous! Congratulations! Wishing you all a wonderful life together!
9th October 2002 at 11:52 am
she is so beautiful! i know you guys are proud and happy with your new addition! congratulations. she is absolutely adorable!
9th October 2002 at 12:22 pm
i may be mistaken, but i do believe that could be your nose, clair
although it’s hard to really judge considering i don’t believe i’ve ever seen a photo of Big P. in the years (since diaryland!) that i’ve been reading you.
does this mean you may treat us to some family pics so we can oggle, ooh, and ahh and compare? *hopehope*
congratulations and thank you so much for letting us into this new facet to your life – i was so worried it would turn into the MTV’s Brandy Baby Diary series where we watched every week up until the birth and we never got to see the baby’s face!
Hope to hear all about the exciting birth and homecoming!
9th October 2002 at 12:30 pm
Your daughter is so beautiful! Congratulations, and it’s true what they say, enjoy her as much as you can and spend as much time as you can with her because they grow up so fast, that if you blink you’ll miss something.
Congratulations again.
9th October 2002 at 1:07 pm
she’s beautiful!!
9th October 2002 at 2:43 pm
claire, i’m sure you’re positively too exhausted to read well-wish number 96, but Amelia Joan is positively adorable!
My prediction for 2020: with that angelic face, and the disco hair you mention and we can only get a peek of, Amelia will grow up to be a supermodel/rockstar and you’ll be drawing and designing record covers in 18 years time!
9th October 2002 at 4:14 pm
Claire, she’s absolutely beautiful! Good luck with motherhood.ü
9th October 2002 at 4:55 pm
She’s absolutely gorgeous. Big congrats to you both!
9th October 2002 at 9:10 pm
a beautiful little librian girl … congrats mummy!!
9th October 2002 at 11:55 pm

Wow! That is one good-lookin’ baby! I hope you’re recovering well. Congratulations!
