Lily Ruth Walker

Lily Ruth Walker arrived at 8.53am this morning at the Angliss Hospital a Ferntree Gully. We left home a little after 7am and things didn't take very long.

Karen and Lily are both doing very well. Lily weighed in at a healthy 6lb 14oz (3.1kg for the metric amongst us), 43cm long and a head circumference of 33cm. This makes Lily the smallest of the family (at delivery time). Lily is also the fourth and last child for this family.

Present at the birth (apart from Karen and Lily) were Michael, Patrick and Vivien. Our wonderful midwife Jacqui ensured everything was smooth sailing (and even kept one over anxious trainee doctor at bay!)

Here's a few photos from Lily's first day.

Good on you guys.
Perhaps the young lass's head will need wetting?

Congrats to you all, she looks absolutely gorgeous!!

Sorry it's been so long since we were in touch ... maybe you have provided a new incentive for another Baby Blogger meet-up ;-)
