Day 287, 288, 289 - Welcome to the Real World












I'm thrilled and hon
oured to announce the arrival of Olivia Angela M________, born 7.11 am 16th January 2007 after a rather considerable labour that began at 4.00 pm on Sunday 14th. Given that the first stage of labour took about 40 hours, it was something of a surprise when she was born within five minutes of her head becoming visible!

She weighs a splendid 8lbs 5oz and we're not 100% sure yet, but she may be a redhead like her mummy.

Mother and baby are both doing well, but are having a well-deserved rest after not sleeping since Saturday night.

I hope you all enjoy the pics. More when we recover...
