Congratulations to all of you. I spent Christmas Day two years ago in the birthing suite - clearly a different way to "celebrate" Christmas.

This is fantastic news HH, even if I'm a wee bit late seeing the thread. You're probably already tired from lack of sleep by now! What a fantastic Christmas present :). Now I get to start bugging you and Jools to post more pics!

Heh, heh. I cheated a little and hired a nanny for the first month. This means I can catch up on my sleep until she leaves.
Anyways, Chloe has been exceptionally well-behaved so far and is a quiet little girl when she isn't hungry.

Congrats HH! She's adorable!

Great idea with the nanny! I worked as a nanny for several years, but was never a live-in.
