j4For those who haven't seen the announcement elsewhere:
Imogen Ruth was born at 00:04 on Thursday 7th (weighing 8lb 1oz) in the John Radcliffe hospital.
Thanks to everybody who has already sent congratulations elsewhere, & also to everybody who's given us baby things and advice -- we are very lucky to have such lovely friends!
Photos on my Flickr and on Owen's facebook. I suspect we will add more. :-)
I don't think I can write about the birth yet; the short version is that it didn't really go as planned, & some bits were really quite upsetting. On the other hand, we are all alive & healthy now (if somewhat bruised) & Imogen is the most gorgeous baby in the world, so all's well that ends well.
Got to go and feed her now!

Date: 2011-04-11 11:44 am (UTC)Sorry it didn't go as planned. You're allowed to feel sad about that (I still feel sad about YB's birth at times).
Here's to a speedy recovery for you!
