Announcing the Arrival of.......

Sophie Ellen Kay. Born at 5.36pm on the 27th of November. Weighing in at a hefty 8pounds (3.63 kilos to those of you that have managed, like me, to upgrade to metric!)

The whole experience was truly mind blowing, so I'll just stick up a few early photos and tell the tale properly after a decent sleep!


Tara and Sophie in the recovery room:




Getting to know each other a little better:




And finally falling off to sleep:



Stephen

ps - by my quick calculation Dennis wins the due date prize for guessing the right day!

Wow!!! I have never been to your blog before today...Amanda alerted me. Tara and Stephen - WOW! Congratulations in abundance. We love you and are thinking of you and Sophie. Tara, you are gorgeous and I can't wait to hear all about the birth story (when you are up to it). Stephen, you are fabulous, and I'm sure, up to your elbows in baby tar poop. I want to write a million things since it's been two weeks since we've talked but I will restrain myself.
Sleep, and when you are not, enjoy ever beautiful (exhausting and exhilarating) moment.
Love the Hofings
