HAPPY BIRTH-DAY!!




CONGRATULATIONS

BABY GIRL



Name: Erina Isabel McCarn


Born: 22nd October 2007


Time: 5.17pm (Bne time)


Weight: 5 lb - 2267g


Length: 18.3in - 46.5cm

Mother and baby doing well, father and grandmother still recovering. Mum is relieved, excited, disappointed (she's not there), overwhelmed, happy, blessed and every other emotion we can think of. Mum will be meeting Erina on Friday so that will be lovely. I have gifts here for her and must go to the shop tomorrow and get her a couple of cupcake singlets, and see if they will swap over the cushion for a more "girly" one.

This morning at 2.00pm Perth time Christa and Stephen went to hospital after her waters had broken. Her contractions were 5 min apart when she got there and then they slowed. They put her on a drip to speed up labour, which was slow (15 hours) and Erina was born naturally at 3.17pm Perth time (2 hours behind Queensland).

I've spoken to Christa and she is very emotional - Erina is beautiful with lots of dark hair, she is in special care just for the moment as she is so little. Erina Isabel wasn't due to enter the world for another 4 weeks yet - poor Christa was due to start maternity leave this Thursday. She's actually on call tonight!!

My darling family is not as computer literate as me so Erina might be 12 years old before we get a photo on email. But having said that Christa did promise to email me some photos asap.
