April 2, 2007

Adele arrived 4 days overdue. After an exhausting 24 hour labour Adele arrived at 4.12am on Saturday, 24th March 2007. Her weight was 3.35kg (7 pound 6 oz). The obstetrician needed to intervene during the labour with a forceps delivery after a failed vacuum suction delivery because her heart rate was slowing. This is why you can see a scar on Adele's forehead (but this scar will soon disappear in a few weeks time).
We are now all at home trying to adjust with our bundle of joy. At times it has been very trying and tiring but Adele has been worth it. We are taking it easy as Daniella is still trying to recover from the birth, but we have managed to go out for short walks and we even had our first trip to our local cafe for lunch.
We still have not decided on a second name but we will keep you posted.

Thankyou to all for your kind thoughts, well wishes and gifts.
