It's a

SPROGETTE!!

Lew and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our bewdiful baby girl:-
LAELA JASMINE, 7pd 9oz, June 29th @ 11.48pm

We're in LOVE

, and over the moon!!

The birth went great. Labour was around 6hrs, and I got by on gas and a little peth. Pretty happy with that! Feeling well today, and colostrum is flowing nicely. Wooohoooh!!

Laela has given us a bit of a scare with some breathing difficulties (?possible lung infection & / or fluid on lungs), which haven't fully resolved as yet, but she's in an oxygenated crib, and picking up very quickly. Should hopefully be in our room by tomorrow.

Once again, I'd like to say the hugest thankyou to all of Laela's wonderful Cyber Aunts. All your encouragement, and cheering has helped immensely. You all ROCK

!!!
