There are a number of milestones that your children reach through the years (so i am told .. wow, that sounded good didn't it!!).
Poppy has two immediate milestones that she wanted to achieve, and she achieved the first today ....!Poppy visited St Mary's this morning, home of the Saints! As you will see she has brought home some memorabilia of her visit and also has her first strip to try on as well!
The second milestone for Poppy is to visit an Apple Store .. we are building up the anticipation for this one, as its so special, and will visit when the new 3G iPhone is launched, and believe us, Poppy is very excited about that!
Its was a family weekend when we had a get together to celebrate Millies first birthday, so it was off to the pub!
Poppy was introduced to Erik and Millie this weekend, the 'new generation!'
Poppy had a further 'meet up' with Erik on Sunday morning when they swapped nappies .. well actually Erik had grown out of his current brand of nappy and so he gave them to Poppy .. thank-you Erik!
We are now heading back to the south coast!
Well today mark's Poppy's two week birthday! Amazing, that this time two week's ago she had just made her entrance!
Firstly, and most importantly, Poppy and Mummy are doing well. She has already grown and is getting the hang of the feeding, crying, sleeping etc etc etc!
Tomorrow is our first big outing out, we are heading for Berkshire for the weekend, and hence the picutre of Poppy on a test run in her new motor! Despite her Mum's driving she survived!
We have been extremley lucky, and our girl has already been very spoilt with gifts galour, so thank-you to everybody that has treated our little girl, she loves all her stuff.
Lastly, i hate to raise this, but having just clicked on the photo, which then enlarges the picture, my question is: 'is my daughter giving me the finger?!?!'.
At just after 7pm yesterday evening Poppy had her first adventure into the big wide world! By that i mean she had to put up with her Dad's driving as she was given the all clear to come home!
So Poppy is home and has spent her first night at Hotel De Butler, Southampton Branch.
For some reason the instruction manual is missing for Poppy at the moment so we are finding our way around at the moment, and i am sure that is the way it should be.
Poppy has had a tour of her new home, stopping off at the important stops such as the iPod collection (her inheritance!) and having a peek at the website to give it her official approval!
Its great to have Poppy home and we could not of done it without the help of the excellent team at Princess Anne Hospital.
As far as the three of us are concerned all the team at the hospital went above and beyond to help us .. so thank-you to all of them.
Poppy has decided that as everybody else is enjoying the good weather, and she can't get out yet, that she is going to have a tanning session of her own!
She currently has her sunglasses on, has gone topless and is under a UV light topping up her tan!
Or .. if you want the official 'Doctor' line, she has just gone over the threshold for jaundice so needs to spend a spell under the lamp. She had a test yesterday and was just under, but today she has gone over, so she is getting a top up!
Other than that, mother and daughter are doing fine.
Poppy got her first taste of fame today (Sunday) when she featured on international Radio 1.
Now she might not of been aware of it, but her Mum and Dad were pleased that she was added to the Radio 1 register.
If you have no idea what i am on about, then click on the link below and listen to what we are on about!

We are pleased to announce a new member to the Butler family:

Mum and baby are doing well.
There are many stories from the last 3 days to tell, and over the next few days we will blog them here for your reading pleasure.
There will of course be a few further pics as well!
Its been a frustrating morning, no ones fault but we were unable to go down to the day unit this morning. Apparently overnight the labour ward was so busy that they nearly had to close it. This has had a knock on effect with everything that was due to happen today.
As they are so busy it is hard to get a clear plan of what is happening but it is more than likely that we will have to wait until tomorrow.
So, Pip's appearance might not happen until tomorrow now .. so in the meantime, attached to this post is a sound file. The sound you hear is Pip's heartbeat! It might be a little hard to hear, and you will need to turn the volume up, but i can assure you that is Pip's little motor running!

Jo's waters broke early this morning and Pip is on the way!
Yes, we know its early, but Pip is not too worried, she had run out of space and has sent us the signal that she is on the way!
Jo went to hospital this morning for here weekly blood test and they confirmed that her waters had broken. We were uncertain as there was not a lot of water .. this was because Pip was acting as a plug!
So .. its now just coming up to midnight. Jo is tucked up on Level F of the Princess Anne hopsital, and unless anything over night happens, she will be induced tomorrow morning at about 08:30am.
Watch this space .. and when Pip decides to show her face, you will know!
The picture accompanying this entry is titled 'the last dinner' - Jo's later dinner before becoming a mummy! (Sadly the dinner was not a grand spread, more like something from school!)
