Ella is here.

Ah well our family is expanding.  Our youngest son and his wife have just had their baby. Ella was 9 lbs 4 oz in the old reckoning. There were a few health scares during the pregnancy, but she has been pronounced fit and healthy and ready for home.

Rebecca works at the Redlands Mater Private hospital as a nurse. She had her baby there. The facilities are lovely. She had a spacious room to herself, and a small bed where Simon was able to rest between the ups and downs of a normal crazy routine of a newborn. The facilities and service seems to be really good. I guess it is a private hospital after all, but even so, I was very impressed.

Our youngest daughter is also pregnant, due in August. Its going to be a busy year.
