This blog started out as a bloke's view of pregnancy with daily entries from the date the pregnancy was confirmed. As time went on, my wife started to write entries too on all things to do with babies. In January 2007, our first child Olivia entered the world, and in October 2008 Grace arrived, but the blog shows no signs of stopping... Come and read our naïve and wrong opinions...

Day 287, 288, 289 - Welcome to the Real World
I'm thrilled and honoured 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...
