Welcome Baby Rachel

Well, only 2 hours passed her Irish due date - Rachel Fisher made her grand entrance! All went so well with her delivery, but as most of you know, I had to spend two days in hospital which I was hoping to avoid. It is really nice to be home now though and to start settling down with everyone at home. She is just a lovely baby - when born looked exactely like Ben. But she's changed already. As you all can see - and as the paediatrician delicately put it, she's not petite! But as with all our children, we build them strong and at 9.1 pounds she's no exception. She's feeding really well, and seems more settled when there is chaos and mayhem (aka Ben and Daniel) around her. As long as the lights are on and there is noise everywhere she sleeps - once everyone is in bed and things calm down she's as wide awake! I will write more in the coming days... so keep checking :)

congratulations to you all. She is beautiful. I just love her name. I am sure granny is enjoying it all, albeit exhausting looking after you all. Give her my love. Sorry I have taken so long to comment but we have just got back from Kruger and she was born the day before we left. Been thinking of you all. Love Pete and Fi xxxx

How are you all doing in the Fisher household? Is Dad there yet Kerrith? Tell Mum to bloody write to me and send more pictures. Dying to know if they got their Visa's sorted to go to England. Did that not apply to Ireland then? Did you have lovely St Patricks day celebrations? Fiona xxx
