You can call her Al

Vital stats:

  • DOB: 23 December, 3:26am
  • 6 lb. 13 oz.
  • 19 1/4 in.
  • 25 hours of labor beginning around 2am when Ladybug sprang a leak; took 18 hours to get to 4cm and then held there while contractions got stronger and stronger and I got tireder and tireder and Al went nowhere fast; last 6-7 hours were mercifully helped along by drugs with about 45 min. of pushing at the end (because the midwife was slow in getting ready to catch).
  • copious quantities of light brown hair
  • daddy's feet
  • long fingers
  • can do daddy's raised eyebrow trick
  • perhaps right-handed (oh well)

Congratulations Di and Dom! What a keeper! Lovely pictures you have of young Al, and of Di of course too. Labour is something else, isn't it? And that's just the beginning....
