Roryworld

Baby Anna arrived after 12 somewhat effortful hours [NB: full details of the event are available on request, though I don't necessarily recommend it, especially if you're having a baby any time soon].

She was immediately the best thing we had ever seen, ever, except perhaps Baby Rory when he was first born.

Awww, look, i'n't she teeny??

This was 11.29pm on 31 March. She was very, very nearly April Fool baby, but not quite.

Also, this is very nearly the same birthday as Ali and Cousin Isla (2nd April), and pretty darned near Rory's birthday too (14 March) which leads me to conclude that March/ April is going to be a fearsomely expensive period for us from now on. Consider Easter (spring equinox/ whatever) celebrations cancelled...

Here seen with Stephen - check out the halo of fatherhood!

And also with her loving (well, "bemused but willing") big brother...

More - much more - to come on this subject...
