Tabitha Catherine Leitch

26 Jun

Our Tabby was born at 12.26am today.

She weighed in at 8lbs and 6ozs and has a good lot of dark hair together with her Mum’s big blue eyes.

After all the false starts and sudden stops the delivery itself happened relatively quickly. Naomi started going into established labour at about 10pm and just under 2 and a half hours later, Tabby made her appearance.

Megan woke up about 2.30am and came downstairs to be introduced to her new sister. She’s pretty fascinated by the whole thing and cried when Tabby was taken up to go to bed. How long this fascination will last is another matter of course! Megan is pretty fickle!

Everyone else has either left (the Midwives) or gone to bed (Naomi, Tabby, my Mum-in-law) so its just us hardy party animals left (Megs and me) to celebrate our new 5 person family – I didn’t phone Anthony to wake him at that time – although I couldn’t resist a call to my parents.

My abject apologies for the lack of a picture – I was so wrapped up in the whole thing I forgot to take one before Tabby went to bed. I’ll post one up ASAP.

    Congratulations! Eagerly awaiting a picture of the new baby. 🙂

    Just for the record, the dark hair may not last. Our younger daughter was born with a head of wonderfully curly, nearly black hair, just like her father’s (he was always dark, from birth onward). By the time she was a year old, though, she’d lost all of her lovely dark baby hair and now has a head of thick, blonde, very straight hair!

    Babies can be fickle, too. 😉

    Congratulations! 🙂

    When my daughter was a baby she had a full head of black hair and Blue eyes.
    Her hair never changed but her eyes started turning brown by the time she was 8-9 months old 🙂
