2006_11_04 We got our Kelsey!!!

"Now that I've had my bath...we can talk!"
After a fairly traumatic 32 hour labour, Kelsey Adelaide was born 8:28am, Saturday 4th November, weighing in at 3.54kg (7lb13oz). We are thrilled!!!














Kelsey spent a couple of nights under lights being treated for jaundice, but that has cleared up now. She's now feeding, sleeping and pooping(!) extremely well. It's nice to be home now too (Wed 8th).

Heather was incredible and is really going well. What an awesome Mum! She's had some issues with stitches popping, which has been extremely uncomfortable, to say the least, but the next couple of days should bring some improvement.

Our very real thanks to all of you who have prayed, texted, called, emailed and sent gifts over the past few days. We really have been overwhelmed by your love and support.

Special thanks to Rachael vanRij, Bekah, Chris and Myra, who all provided amazing help and encouragement during the labour/delivery! Also to our Midwife, Rachael McTavish, and the hosipital midwives (esp. Kim, Abby and Leanne).

We want to thank God too! All this has made us realise how much we can take for granted! You're awesome!

One thrilled Dad signing off!
