Well...........she is finally here!

I had to be induced on Monday afternoon and after 12 hours of labour, Josie Rae was born on 17 November at 5am. She weighed in at 4.1kg and is 51cm long. She has dark hair and looks very much like Abi did at the same age. She is just adorable!

She has had an interesting life already! After only being in this world for 5 hours, we were put into an ambulance and driven across town to the new hospital!! So she was one of the last babies to be born in the old hospital and one of the first babies to be housed in the new hospital. In additon to that, she has had to have her foot pricked every 3 hours to monitor her blood sugar and she has had her stomach pumped because she swallowed Amniotic fluid! Poor little thing.

But she is coping very well despite all the ordeals and is feeding well and sleeping a lot at this stage.


Her two sisters are obsessed with her and just want to cuddle and hold her. It is too sweet to watch them.

See the photos of our little treasure!
