Aloha's met her deadline!

Aloha's daughter arrived at 11.08 this morning, weighing eight pounds.

Not exactly a smooth journey - having postponed her C-section on account of flu, Aloha ended up going to King's anyway last night and then enduring nine hours which, she says, "have fully confirmed all her worst fears about labour". She was finally admitted to the labour ward, given the blessed relief of anaesthetic and, at last, her section.

Babealoha, however (no name yet) is obviously a total delight; apparently she feeds beautifully, looks like a peach, and is absolutely adorable.

I'm sure the proud mummy will be on as soon as she can be - she's certainly dying to get out of hospital!
