At long last, after a mammoth struggle lasting a whole week, Marie-Claire gave birth to our daughter last night.
If it was the raspberry leaf tea that did it, it took its bloody time. It was horrible seeing the one you love in pain for that long, but the whole thing was worth it in the end.
A strapping great 9lb 15oz girl arrived at 1.55 this morning, all happy and healthy and shouting with life. Here are some pictures we took today - both Mum and baby are a bit bashed about, but doing well.
The picture at the top shows her about 40 minutes after birth, after carefully being dressed back to front in her vest by Dad.Here's Marie-Claire and her sleepy daughter sizing each other up, and Dad trying not to drop her as she yawns at him.
Now the tricky task of coming up a name for our new set of legs.

She is gorgeous! She definitely has the Ferguson nose. We can't wait to meet her in real life and give her a cuddle. Well done both of you, especially Marie-Claire. Lots of love to all three of you. Mum and Dad xxx
Well done. She certainly does look gorgeous and a real mix of the two of you. You look so proud in the photo - and rightly so. We can't wait to meet her and have a cuddle for ourselves. Love from us all. xxxxxxxx
Dan - no doubt she looks like you at the moment. She looks almost as tall as you too !!
Looking forward to seeing her soon anyway..
