Sleeping beauties

I went to see two beautiful baby girls last week! A friend of mine gave birth at the end of April and my niece was born a week last Friday! The are both so little and have teeny weeny fingers and toes. They spend their days feeding, snoozing and gazing out at the world as they get used to their new surroundings. I saw both mums-to be while they were pregnant and it's such an incredible feat of nature that their 'bumps' are now living, breathing bundles of joy. They were both as light as a feather and I found out that babies can get hiccups too!
