On Christmas Day at 10.11pm we welcomed a gorgeous wee daughter, Emily Sarah into the world (6lb 13oz). Mum and baby are both fine but both had a tiring and lengthy day. Without going into all the detail suffice to say the birth ended up being perfectly natural for which we are extremely thankful.

Katherine and Emily are now both at home and we are now trying to establish a few routines with varying degrees of success but in general things are going well.
