Baby Elfie

Baby Elfreda Daphne H (named after two of her Great-Grandmothers) was born on July 7th at 1.35pm weighing 6lbs 14oz. We had a couple of sleepless nights in hospital as she decided she was so good at breastfeeding she wanted to do that instead of sleep and she HATED the hospital crib. We came home at 5pm yesterday and she’s been very relaxed ever since – feeding and snoozing. We have been mostly staring at her in awe of how we possibly made something so gorgeous.

The Caesarian section was scary as I thought it would be but the staff at the hospital could not have been more wonderful. I am so glad we were able to go through our birthing experience there instead of London.

More photos to follow I’m sure once I’ve caught up on sleep.
