After months of anticipation, our gorgeous little girl has finally arrived. She was born at 1.19pm on Thursday 18th November. She was 3.25kg or 7lb 5oz and was 52cm long. She has a good head of dark brown hair and baby blue eyes. The labour and birth were surprisingly bearable and I recovered really quickly ... must be getting better with practise!
So far Ella has been an absolute dream baby, feeding every 3 hours or so and hardly cries at all.
The boys are absolutely delighted with the new addition to the family, especially Liam who is besotted and thinks she is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Cheesy grins all round
... and another snooze
We had some visitors on our first afternoon at home. Aunty Kerrie had a nice cuddle.
More snoozing, this time with her brothers.
Liam is taking his big brother role very seriously and constantly
checks to make sure I am looking after her every need.
... another snooze with Aunty Penny. All this meeting the rellies is tiring!
The proud Aunty Chae.
Grandad, Chae, Jacki and the little lady.

Chae made scones for all our visitors and they were consumed with gusto (James had four).
