The birth of Olive Eliza

February 2012, by Tom

Olive Eliza Peck was born at 2.30am on 15th February, 2012. Her due date! She may be the only one in our family to arrive to something on time.

She weighed in at 3.61kg or 8lb. The labour went as well as labour can go and after two nights at Wellington hospital (which was great), we have made it home, now a family of 3 (plus one furball who is currently living it up on holiday).

More words to come later.

Happy an content with Mum, only 9 hours old.

Olive passes her first test! She can hear!

First package - a lovely sheepskin rug from Uncle Paul and Aunty Lauren

The little room at the hospital, just before checking out.

The long walk to freedom, and a new beginning!

In the buggy while Dad did 6 laps of Karori Park and got himself burnt.

First attempt at sleeping in the bassinet - unsuccessful.

Asleep for the first time in her bassinet.
