Introducing Lillee.


Our precious baby girl arrived on Friday September 1st at 10.35pm.

My Aunty Ann is so stoked that Lillee was born on her birthday. So Im introducing Lillianlee Louise to all the cyber aunties.

We had a fairly good labour. Had minor contractions since 11pm Thursday night, then on Friday at 8am they started to get a bit more regular and we took a trip to the hospital at lunch time for a checkup and some testing that my GP hadn't done.

They sent me home as I wasn't dilating but by 6pm, they were coming on so strong and at 8.30 pm we left for the hospital again. Travelling 30 minutes to get to the hospital and by the time we got there, I was 8cm dilated. Lillee was born 1.5 jours later.

We are so stoked to have a healthy baby girl, she is sleeping great now that she is on the bottle.

Thanks for all the well wishes, the emails and phone calls. Can't wait to scrap some of these photos and share with you all.
