There's a new adventure in town....

I have so many posts sitting here as drafts that haven't been published due to an incredibly hectic year) and many still with photos missing).

This blog however (and life itself) has now changed for ever with the arrival of our baby wee girl Sophie Elizabeth on Tuesday the 3rd of June 2014 at 5.52pm at the Southern General. Sophie weighed in at 7lbs 3oz (hospital said 7.5) and Katie was absolutely amazing during the whole thing.

Here's how the media broke the news.

We'll now be using this blog to update those that are interested in how she is getting on - we don't want to use facebook for this so please join us here for baby photos and general self indulgence. ;o)

Although convinced she was going to be late Katie finally had to give in and accept she was in labour (and going to have to cancel her shopping trip with her Mum) after experiencing pains and "feeling different" all night the night before.

We rushed to the Southern, via the house because Katie wanted to be prepared, and Katie was told that if she was wanting a pool birth then she would have to get into the pool immediately.

The birth was absolutely amazing and to see wee Sophie coming out was an unforgettable experience - especially as she looked about twice her actual size because she was underwater!

We're all home now and enjoying settling into as much of a routine as we possibly can - we'll post some more pics for now and then update you with any other stories as we feel necessary. (please ignore the date stamps from my Mum's camera - the date and time say a.m. but actually it should be p.m.)
