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.
Congrats on your baby, she is BEAUTIFUL!
Precious Precious Precious !!!! Such a cute darling
Oh she is so lovely! Congratulations!!
Ho`omaika`i! She looks so sweet.

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

She looks knackered, too, but it was a long swim.
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.
She’s so beautiful! I feel like kissing her tiny hands. 🙂
I hope Amelia’s life is filled with unlimited joy and smiles. 🙂
She is just the most adorable baby. Gorgeous, and looking robust and healthy too! Good luck with the napping!

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.
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.
she’s lovely, claire! and amelia’s a great name.
Oh, she’s so beautiful! Congratulations! And what a lovely name. :)Hope you’re managing to get a little rest!
Your baby is so sweet!! Congratulations for you Big-P, and for the newest member :))
She is so beautiful!!! Congrats to you and Big-P!
Awww….So beautiful and no wrinkles! Hehehe! I’m so happy for you Miss Claire!
She’s so pretty, obviously you two have a good gene pool!
Such a beautiful baby- and with such a beautiful name! Congratulations to you & Big P!
Oh, she’s so cute!!
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!
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. 🙂
She’s just sweet as they come! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing!
Oh, she is such a little doll! Congratulations!
Aw, how adorable she is. You are very lucky 😉 Congrats!
what a beautiful baby… congratulations to you both, erm, all three!
How lovely she is! Congratulations on her safe arrival.
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 !
How adorable. What a little angel!
look at that dramatic pout! congratulations!
Amelia is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see more pictures! 🙂
Claire & Big P what a cutie pie! I hope everything is going well. Kisses and cheers to Amelia 🙂
What a miracle! God Bless!
Oh my, what a beautiful baby! I wish you all peaceful sleep and sweet dreams, and more baby laughs than baby tears.Congratulations!
Hope you continue to breastfeed successfully! Don’t forget to exploit your “new mom privilege” of napping with the baby.
She’s totally gorgeous! Congratulations! Wishing you all a wonderful life together!
she is so beautiful! i know you guys are proud and happy with your new addition! 🙂 congratulations. she is absolutely adorable! 🙂
She is so adorbale. Congratulations!
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!
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.
Wow!
Congratulations!
she’s beautiful!!
congratulations on your lovely new daughter!
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!
Just lovely. Congratulations to the family.
a beautiful little librian girl … congrats mummy!!
She’s beautiful with lotsa’ hair!!! Congratulations!
Awww – I knew I should have checked in earlier…! She’s so sweet and pretty looking. Thanks for posting a pic so we can see little Boo!
welcome… one spirit to another.
congratulations, claire & big-p! she is absolutely gorgeous – i hope you three will have a wonderful life together 🙂
Awwww…she is so precious, Claire!!!! 🙂
She’s a beautiful little girl!Congratulations to you both, and best wishes!
Isn’t she sweet? I wish I had a little baby just like this one myself!
