The little dove has landed!!



Welcome to Jemimah Grace!



Here she is with our Dr - don't know which face is more frightening?! He is great fun with a hilarious sense of humour.

Jemimah Grace Byrd (Jems) meaning little Dove arrived at 6:54am on March 1st. It was a longer labour for us but still fairly short by normal standards. Abi was so thankful that our OB was willing to induce her with no questions asked.
The hospital was like a 5 star hotel in comparison to the one where we delivered Ezzie and Tate in England. It was a great experience and a wonderful place to have a baby.

Quin, Ezzie and Tate are thrilled with her and as soon as they wake up they are lining up to hold her and feed her. Some days we feel like we haven't had our hands on her at all!!

Very proud big sister who could hardly wait to get her hands on the baby she has been praying for every night for 9 months!!

Proud older brother who runs in from the schoolbus to see where his sister is and whether he can hold her as soon as possible.

Long may this love last!! So far so good, although close proximity is needed as Tate will just toss her aside without warning when he has held her long enough!! He is thrilled to see her eyes open.
