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.



Ailz gave her her first meal

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! You and Ailz have been such a blessing to Odi, and I'm sure that you will be to Christa, also. She's so cute.

Congratualtions all around! :)

Ailz looks very much in her element, and I am so impressed with the fingernail varnish.

Congratulations all around!

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?

A question: why did they let Odi stay in labor so long before the C-section?

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!

he was there. the only reason I've not posted pictures of him is that they didn't come out very well.

Thanks.

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.

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.

Actually this is almost certainly the first time Ailz has dealt with a new born...

Thanks.

Congratulations to you all and welcome to little Christa!

Ailz looks so calm and proficient in the picture, as though she does this sort of thing every day! :)

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.

Edward Lear was the sweetest man.
