Some pics of Emily now in the gallery
Thanks to her and others (especially Glynis Garrod), we’re all home safe and sound.
but here’s a relatively tasteful one for those of you who sort of are:
Our little girl was born at 9pm last night, 90 minutes after we arrived at the hospital. The birth was traumatic for her and she took a while to adjust, with a very poor apgar at 1 minute, getting better as time progressed. She spent the night in the high care unit on a drip and monitors and by this morning everything was as it should be.
She’s feeding well now and we expect to be all-at-home-together tomorrow.
We’ll settle on a name when we’ve spent a bit more time with her.
MGW is an absolute rockstar.

“Wow, girls, you’re watching Teletubbies!”
“Yes, but it’s not the real one, Dad, you can’t pause it.”
“That’s TV, darling, it works like that.”
“I know Daddy and it never ends!”
Isn’t visiting Granny & Grandpa amazing.
Day five and still no sign of the little critter popping out.
New pics in the gallery today.
“Oh … bovver” is Sophie’s latest plaintive lament when such lament is appropriate.
MGW and I have moved beyond plaintive laments. Time for this baby to pop out. Josie was born on her due date; Sophie was born on the 8th day after her due date. We’re at due day + 3 and powerless, clueless but ready.
Oh bovver.
So where is this flipping baby everyone’s talking about?
