Posted by "DH" pp. Marina. Just to let you all know that Isabelle Jane arrived on Tuesday 5th at 10.15am by caesarian as planned, in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich -- 9lbs exactly.

After a couple of days in Special Care (precautionary procedure as Isabelle initially had a slightly lowered blood oxygen level) they are now both together. M is doing well but finding post-op recovery rather tough as before.

Thanks from the heart from this "DH" to all those whose continuing support, love and encouragement have helped us in recent months.

Am so so happy for you - and yes I love the name too - it's one I'd be considering if I ever got pregnant!
She'll never be a replacement for Tom but I'm sure the love you feel for her helps mask the pain of losing him.
Hope you're feeling better soon
