Odi called us at 7.30 this morning to say she was in labour. Ailz and I were in the delivery suite with her all day. Christa was born- by C section ( the only bit we weren't there for)- around six.
Congratulations to Grandmother and Grandfaher, Odi and Peter, and the "big" brother too. I wish you a warm welcome to this world, little Christa. Tony, you and Ailz are truly if not grandparents, at least godparents to Odi's children. That is a lovely picture of Ailz with the baby. Cute baby... How is Odi this evening?
Her first delivery was by C Section and she very much wanted this one to be "natural". Things seemed to be going well, then the baby started showing signs of distress and the staff leaped into action.
What a beautiful little girl! Look at that head of hair! Ailz looks like she does that sort of thing every day, very much at home with feeding a newborn baby. :) Welcome Christa!
Edward Lear once wrote a sweetly humorous note to a newborn niece, formally congratulating her on her inheritance of the excellent estate of two doting parents, a loving family, a wide circle of admiring relatives and friends, etc.
I don't have Lear's touch, but I do share his sentiments.

When we left her last night, Odio was still under the effect of the anaesthetic. I imagine she'll stay in hospital for a day or two.
