Introducing baby Kate...



Katherine Isobel Van Boerum arrived on Tuesday 12th May, at 1:43pm. She was 19 inches long and 6lbs 11oz... a tiny little cutie!

Jeff and I have been predicting the 12th for about a week now, for no other reason than it is 6 days after Jeff's birthday and 6 days before mine. However, I will take her cooperation as a good sign that she is going to be cooperative generally! (Clutching at straws I know, based on my previous experience with baby girls, but a mother can dream...)



She's going to be a Daddy's girl...




Adam is very taken with her...




And Ellie's first meeting also went very well. We were a little concerned here! But so far so good!



Sisters... hanging out watching tv while Mum and Dad hash out names... for two days straight...



A rare shot of a sleeping baby... so far she only does this in the day time and is wide awake and alert all night.



Our new family!

I wasn't expecting to hear that you had picked one for another few weeks! Good job! So happy for you, really! Please call if I can bring you a meal. Do you like chicken? I can make chicken anything...I'll be calling you to find out.
