It was a very good 'Good Friday' for us!! The Bubble finally popped and at 4.19pm on Friday 22nd April 2011, we welcomed Naomi Grace into the world and into our family. She weighed 7lb 12oz and measured 21 1/2 inches long.
It was all relatively quick and easy and as we were the only patients on the ward, had the undivided attention of the wonderful staff in the birthing centre at Coshocton Memorial Hospital ... just a 2 minute walk from our house!!
Naomi got some cuddles from her mummy and daddy before her big sister arrived less than an hour after she was born ...
After Abigail met her little sister ... she got a new t-shirt ... talk about proud! ;o)
Although we could have stayed another night ... we headed home after 24 hours as Jenny's mum was due to leave for the UK ... Naomi was all snuggled up and ready to go!
Naomi means 'delightful' and since she's been home she has been an absolute delight ... and after only a couple of nights got the hang of only waking up twice instead of every other hour ... what a star!
Abigail has also slept through every night since we brought her little sister home ... having had a disruptive month or so beforehand ... it must have been because she knew something was about to change ... and now it has things are getting back to normal!! She loves her little sister ... always wanting cuddles and helping out with everything ... including giving her a wash ... see below!
Thank you so much to all of you who have phoned, emailed, sent cards and presents congratulating us already on our little Easter bundle ... we're feeling really loved! We have had meals brought round to us every evening this week, flowers from one of our supporting churches in the UK (thank you Emmanuel Church, Weymouth!) and even some international stamps from our Postie here so we can be in touch with home about our good news!! Here are a couple of cute shots of the girl of the moment!
