Deciding to join us at the ungodly hour of 4:01am, Susannah Maeve Staples.
3.8kg, natural birth, no painkillers, 20 stitches.


I'm tired now. Had a nap which didn't seem to help much, but I should rescue Abbi from her grandmother, or my mother-in-law from Abbi, or something.

Fantastic news David! Good on Miriam. And welcome to the world Susannah Maeve. Usuakari is sleeping, but I'll let him know.
Oh- and, it's just occurred to me: you're now completely out-numbered. 3-1.

I know. I'm doomed. Add in mother-in-law, sister-in-law and her new daughter, and I'm so very doomed.

Doom! Doom! Doom! Doomdy-doom! Doom! (lather, rinse, repeat)
Usu. suggests we wait until we're over our colds before we come and visit, which seems wise, but it would be lovely to visit and see your new baby.

Mim's coming home on Wednesday or Thursday (Wednesday if she can arrange it), and I've got another two and a half or so weeks of paternity leave to go after that, so drop in whenever you feel sufficiently quarantined.

Congratulations :)
Oh..and as the only Male in the house, you need a study.
Or a Shed.
With big locks on it! :)

Of course..Id say that no matter how many people, or either sex where in the house.
I just like hiding from the world.

Hrmm..
My backyard is big enough to build a bomb shelter...

Or a study in a shed... in a bomb shelter...

This needs further consideration...

I was wondering when it was going to happen... Congratulations to you all, and 3.8 kilos is a solid baby (to which I'm sure Miriam will attest). :)

Obviously we shall have to go and swill beer and talk footy. Both as a celebration and to help alleviate the gender-imbalance created doom. ;) That or help Neef build a bomb-shelter. One of the two...

Yes, that is two daughters. Abbi met her sister today, and didn't seem too impressed. But then, she hadn't had much sleep either.

Male role model? Me?
Doomed, I tells ya, Dooooooooooomed!

That's fantastic news. We are all looking forward to meeting Susannah. Willow has a bit of a cold at the moment though. Sorry we seem to have missed going to the hospital. Best Wishes to you all.
