Everything well here. Tara and baby seem to have got used to each other and are falling into a nice 6 hourly feeding routine. Sophie seems to spend most of the rest of the time asleep - but I'm not there during the night so I'm told that I am missing her talking and practising her 100m hurdles technique. Tara assures me that she is quite exceptional T both, and that she is well on her way to being the first women olympic champion prime minister (insert the country of your choice here) has known!
I have also been in contact with the local roading company and they have agreed to purchase as much high quality tar as I can scrape from Sophie. The midwife told me it was called "meconium" but I'm not sure how to pronounce that - and I'm sure that with its stickness and durability it will do extremely well in filling the pot holes on major motorways near us.
We hope to be released from the maternity ward jail (sorry - allowed to go home early for good behaviour) tomorrow. This is as long as both Tara and Sophie make it through their respective check-ups and tests. I hope that they remember to use the right test on each of them. Sophie tends to puke if her stomach is palpitated too much - and I'm fairly sure that Tara won't be as flexible as the "clicky hip test" requires!!!
Enough blathering - here's what you've all been waiting for (the midwife even took the camera off me so that I also, reluctantly, have to feature!)

Tara - looking good (this is from today - I promise!):
Very sleepy Sophie:

Tara that first photo of you looks lovely--I can't believe you just gave birth! Those are really great photos guys. What a lovely family photo.
Tara, Stephen... congratulations! Sophie is beautiful - wish we could see her in person. I love her name too - good choices. Mike also says congratulations, and suggested we come to visit you. Maybe we'll be able to afford it by the time we retire, or whenever we save up enough airmiles - whichever comes first.
Enjoy all the precious moments you have together - you will not believe how quickly they pass!
love, Amanda
That was quick work Stephen! I wasn't expecting to see last night on here already. This blog is brilliant! It's good to see your one of the three of you, as my one had the back of Charlotte's head in it! Didn't want to make you pose any longer though. Especially since the time my red camera light was on seemed to be directly proportional to the intensity of Sophie's frown! Horrible bright lights! It was such a cute frown though. She is gorgeous. But, as I said before, that was a given, seeing as she has such lovely parents.
Looking forward to seeing the three of you at home.
Lots of love, Bxxxx
P.S. Tara, you're so brave! And Stephen, you were so brave for watching it all!!!
P.P.S. Tara, your hair looked fab.
Congratulations!
Your blog is fodder for a sitcom!!!
Your baby is as beautiful as her mother (and grandma!)
love,
Heather and Jim
