Maddie's Here!

Madeleine Alexandra Lily David arrived six days late - on Tuesday, June 17th at 18.13.
Weighing in at a delicate 10lbs 8oz and 22 inches long. My waters broke while I was driving in the car to my antepartum testing appointment - so luckily, I was only about three miles from the L&D wards! The labour was very quick and intense, lasting just under four hours - so quick in fact that Simon missed the whole thing and there was no time for any pain relief. She is beautiful and I'm still pinching myself that I have a daughter!
Below are some of the lovely photos that my dear friend Sivan took for us when Maddie was only two days old. My doula took a tonne of photos at the birth and I'll load some up as soon as I have them.
