Soy here with a special guest post.
Baby Nell was born today at 4:27 AM.
She was 4.090 kgs at 52cm at birth.
There's a long and involved tale behind the birth I am not allowed to tell, because Elissa wants to blog it all when she gets home in a few days.
She was very brave and wonderful throughout the birth and Nell is grand!
YAB - yet another baby. Get over it.

Congratulations Elissa and Simon. and Zac welcome to baby Nell, wanted to say Elenor, Ellenor but not sure how to spell Elenor I had an Aunty Nell who always made my concert dancing clothes she played as very large part of my early life. so I hope Nell inherits some of her expertise.
Thank-you Simon for the exciting early morning phone call. Why do I always want to cry with such good news? love from G&G

And look, she's learned to suck her thumb already! Clearly, she's a genius.

Three cheers for baby Nell!!! Heartiest congratulations (especially to Elissa, for all her hard work) and a huge welcome to your gorgeous girl. I'm so glad to hear that she is safely with us, and that she and her mum are doing well. I am also most impressed to hear (via her Dad) what clever presents she'd chosen for her big brother. A most discerning young woman, obviously. Can't wait to meet her!! Big hugs and kisses to all.
