After a long journey, our beautiful baby girl joined us a bit earlier than expected on October 2nd, at 36 weeks and 4 days, weighing 2.790 kg at Coombe in Ireland . Even though she was born a little early, she didn’t need any NICU time—our strong little fighter has been growing and thriving by our side from the beginning.

Now she’s 5 weeks old and hitting milestones beautifully! She’s gaining weight steadily, and if we count from her original due date, she’s technically only a few days old. As a first-time mom at 41, I’m learning so much each day, from managing her little bouts of constipation and colic to the constant joys (and worries!) of watching her grow.

We’re heading into her 6-week check-up soon, and I’m stocked up on all the devices to track her health—everything from breathing monitors to apps! It’s been a whirlwind of firsts, sleepy snuggles, and lots of learning, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Welcome to the world, my sweet girl. 💕 I can’t wait to see all the amazing things life has in store for you.
