It’s a GIRL. A fabulously beautiful baby girl, healthy, happy and already ready to take on the world. It’s amazing that at only 4 days old one can have learnt so much.
Her hair is light brown, she is way longer than either Himself or I can take credit for, 7lb 14oz, long fingers that will be perfect for chunky jewellery, doe eyes that would melt the coldest heart, and a cry that no-one will ignore 
The day before she arrived HoneyB had said ‘I think it’s a boy’ and had to do some quick modifications to her welcome-baby card. ‘Mom Mom don’t bring the baby in yet, I have to draw a dress’.
She also could not see the point in the ‘Its a girl’ balloons opting instead for a birthday balloon … the biggest one in the shop. Oh, what fun they will have … oh how empty Daddy’s pockets are going to be!

Hello
)))))
I am very happy for you. Best of luck
Hooray, congratulations, a new year’s baby, how lovely. Wishing you all the very best.
Congrats to you all! She’s a cutie
Thank you everyone for the kind words.
I’ve not been online as much as I thought I’d be so I am very late in checking in and seeing all the lovely comments. But she is rather distracting … even at 4am !
I am so behind! I blame my own Small Girl (and Little Missy) for keeping me away from the computer during January. Thrilled to read your news. Huge, huge congratulations from the cottage. Cx
