Welcome Snowgum Elise!

Two weeks ago we had a very special new arrival here at Snowgum!  Our second baby, Elise Annabelle, was born on the 5th October at 12:30 pm, after just 1 hour of labour.  She weighed in at a good size of 8lbs 11oz and measured 53cm long.

We are all doing really well and Ethan is getting used to the idea of being a big brother- taking her toys and books to look at and blowing her kisses :-)  She is sleeping and eating well and is generally a very contented, happy baby.  We couldn't be happier!

Here are a few pics of her first couple of weeks.


 Just born:


A very proud dad and big brother:



 
 Who said the labour ward couldn't be fun?!


Wide awake:


She's a good sleeper!


Such cute little hospital gowns they dress them in!


 Going home! Beautiful blanket and cardigan hand knitted by Alexandrite Siberians! Thanks Jo! xx


Settling in at home:


A tired but happy mum :-)

Such a sweetie she is!
