Last week little Zara turned 6 weeks old! I really cant believe how the time has flown by. I must say that the first six weeks of pregnancy seemed to drag by for me. That is possibly due to the fact that one feels completely exhausted and on top of that I had this constant nausea to contend with. I am not saying that the first few weeks of parenting have not been tiring, its just that when your little one looks at you its all worth it.
Chris and I are very lucky as Zara has been a very easy baby! She is extremely content and relaxed. She feeds really well and sleeps quite well too. I have been lucky to only have an average of 2 wakes during the night. She just does her little grunting thing and that's my cue for her feed. Its amazing how I have become so tuned into the sound that I don't hear the police sirens going past but one grunt and I am up.
We had her weighed at "Bumps & Babes" last week and she is now weighing 4.7kg and is 56cm tall. This means that since Sharon's last home visit (on day 7), Zara has grown 4cm and gained 1.5kg ~ according to the Chinese horoscope, 2007 is the year of the pig, and our little "pork chop" is certainly living up to it.
Zara is also a lot more interactive. She is a little stingy with her smiles ~ except to Dad, he gets loads! She sometimes lies with me at the computer kicking her legs and gurgling while I get some work done.
Everyday certainly does get better and more rewarding, but I still feel the need to slow things down. I just want to savour every second with her while she is still so tiny.

You really have been lucky as regards night-time wake-ups. Long may it last.
What super pix... she's lucky to have a photographer for a mom.
