Emily Beth McCulloch

She's arrived! Emily's birth was a beautiful surprise on Tuesday morning as we both felt strongly that we were having a boy!
Emily arrived at 3.50am after being admitted to the ward at 12.30am! The midwife was extremely surprised at how quickly the whole thing happened. I'm sure we will fill you in with all of the details later!
Emily is a beautiful 7lbs little girl with a wonderful head of black hair. We're not quite sure where that came from.
Both ladies are doing really well and will be in hospital for a couple of days as Emily has to undertake a course of antibiotics. She spent all of yesterday sleeping and was very well behaved for all her visitors. However, as soon as we were all made to leave Emily decided to wake up and kept JA up most of the night demanding a feed!
As a proud father it is almost impossible to explain how the whole thing feels. The reality of Emily actually being our daughter has still not sunken in yet. I'm just looking forward to getting back into hospital and seeing them both again this morning.

JA and Emily meet face to face for the first time

Beautiful Emily sleeps peacefully during a busy day

'Hallelujah' Emily can't keep her hands down
