Introducing Heidi



Our little girl was born on Anzac Day - 25th April at 11.23am after an approx 2 1/2 hour labor. She weighed 3.865kg (8 pound 7) - a whole pound heavier than either of her brothers! 54cm long. She has blue eyes and brown hair. She already has her mummy's frown! She is beautiful and has been a pretty good baby so far. She loves cuddles. The boys love her and think she is wonderful. She cried when Thomas held her in hospital and he burst into tears saying "She doesn't like me!". When we told Mark her name he thought for a bit and then as only a 4 year old can do said "Does that mean she will hide a lot?"

Congratulations!! Can't believe labour was only 2 and a half hours long. I think you should stick with 3 kidlets, otherwise you might have the next one in your bathtub!!

I had to laugh when you mentioned in your post about her having your frown, because when I looked at the middle photo before I read your words, I immediately though "oh my gosh, she's got Shell's forehead!!".

Does she have a middle name yet?

I've been on the lookout for a picture :) She is adorable! Brown hair? We'll see! It looks like K's haircolour at birth.

Mark's comment is super! Never thought of it like that. He sure comes up with interesting angles, your Mark.
