Introducing the newest member of our family. Elsie Rose. Born on 17th Feb 2020 at 2:15pm. She weighed 7 pounds and was 49cms long.
Elsie is oh so sweet, she came into the world calmly and has remained that way since. She is 1 week old now and it's hard to imagine life without her, it feels like she has always been here. The boys adore her and together we pass many hours snuggling and fussing over her. She is doing beautifully. Breastfeeding like a champ and sleeping as well as a newborn sleeps!
I'm slowly recovering from a planned c-section which was a little more complex and longer than expected due to adhesions from my hernia that needed dealing with. Elsie's part of the procedure went smoothly, the rest was a bit rough. But we are home now and getting plenty of rest in our little yurt. The Port Macquarie Hospital was absolutely wonderful, the midwives were brilliant, some of the best I have ever come across and the Drs were thorough, kind and professional.
