Welcome to the world

OK so I know I was fairly sure the due date would not be the day but I wasn’t expecting such an early appearance. Still that’s what has happened and Madeleine Aimeé Boichat was born at 8.12am on Thurs 20th July after a rather long and drawn out labour. She weighed 6lb and 10oz.

If first impressions are anything to go by it looks like she’s going to be well behaved but I fully expect to be eating these words in the not too distant future.

Mette and Madeleine are staying in hospital for a couple of days which is actually working out well as there are lots of people to fuss over Mette and help her with the breast feeding etc which I know she’s finding helpful.
