Introducing.....

Imogen Marianne Wroe was born on the 24th January at 5.50 in the evening. She was 7lb 13 at birth. Blog silence has been largely due to the fact that we have only just managed to make a decision on a name, somehow our first choices didn't quite fit. We chose Marianne as Ian's mum is Marion and mine is Anne. Ethan can say Immy but occasionally calls her Gina as we had toyed with the name of Georgina for a while.

Ethan is enjoying his little sister. He likes to hold her and point to her "liddle hands", "liddle feet", etc. As soon as she starts to cry though he throws himself away from her so we have to be ready to catch a flying baby.

It is hard to tell from the photos, but unlike Ethan and myself, Imogen has lovely blue eyes. I'm hoping she has inherited her Dad's beautiful eyes.


Day 1 - we spent 2 days in hospital getting to know each other and getting some help with feeding. For those of you who are interested,all our prayers were answered in relation to the labour. No long latent phase this time around. Twinges at 10am, getting serious by midday, off to the hospital at 4 and she was born less than two hours later. No sleep lost and no pain relief other than gas and air.

Nana and Granpa Price are looking after us all very well. They are off exploring the Coromandel Peninsula for a few days. It's been a bit of a shock doing our own cooking, washing up and laundry!
