We have a daughter. These are some photos of her
This is Sophia.
Here she is on the bed where Jane spent 17 hours in labour:
Here she is being weighed. She is smaller than we expected from the scans - just under average weight rather than being at the top of the normal range. This is all my fault for having a huge head. Jane regrets not checking my hat size before embarking on a relationship with me:
Also, you may have noticed how hairy she is. Jane was also born looking like this. Although apparently even moreso, with her hair in a quiff and (from her own description) looking like a good luck troll.
Here she is with her mum:
We got out after only a couple of days, and were able to lounge around the flat:
I got to practice winding her while brushing my teeth and surfing the internet:
Sadly, she came down with jaundice, and we had to go back in again so she could have all of her yellow replaced with blue:
But while we were in the NICU waiting room we finally managed to get a photo of the three of us together. Sorry about the thumb!
And now we get to spend time relaxing at home together with Jim:
Jim is generally quite relaxed about her, and will observe from a couple of feet away. When she gets noisy he retreats to his sleeping spot under a radiator at the other end of the flat:
The crib is awesome, btw - it straps onto the side of the bed and the side comes down, so Jane can sleep with her arm in there holding hands with Sophia if she's being a bit grizzly.
Jane has been practicing her swaddling skills:
The midwife has weighed her:
And we've been out for a couple of walks:
The sling came in the baby box, and has been fantastic. Takes about a minute to put on, is very comfortable and adjustable, and can be used in different ways.
Yesterday we even made it out to a cafe for lunch!
You can expect more of these to come :-)

(So I wish I'd known about Think!Kids Collaborative Problem Solving before my kids had developed the idea that It's All Mom's Fault when actually Some Things Are Mom's Fault. You're welcome.)
