It's been strangely nostalgic being in the RLI again. In early September 2008, Violet and Ivy were delivered by c-section at 29 weeks gestation because Violet wasn't getting enough oxygen in the womb. 77 days later, we left the RLI with two beautiful, tiny, delicate, identical monkeys who'd been on a long and somewhat scary journey. Two years later, we're back to have Rosabel. One of the neonatal nurses we got to know in 2008 was present at the birth this morning - a lovely bridge 'twixt two very different experiences. We also had our first visitors this afternoon: two more neonatal nurses who had looked after V+I for those 11 weeks had heard we were in for another and came to see. They think Rosabel looks very much like her big sisters so I thought it would be appropriate to fish out some old photographs for comparison...

I think she particularly looks like her big cousin Joseph in this close-up^. Any thoughts?
