American Girl











Anthea and I are now outnumbered by children...


..today saw the arrival of a baby daughter. Weighing in at 8lb 3oz. We went into hospital at 2am, and she was born at 3:30pm - which for Anth is quick work!
No c-section, no special care, no 4 weeks in hospital.....

....just a McDonald's chocolate milkshake!

Now we start the bartering over names!

Will put some better pictures on soon.

Ok so am still hormonal myself and thats why your photos made me cry! She's gorgeous and beautiful... and the baby's not too bad either! Seriuosly - she's a true babe - well done all of you! Must be a relief that its all 'over' - well, the first bit anyway! Just another 40+ years of worry to go! Big love to all of you!
