Introducing Elijah Christopher Mardon...

Hi guys,

As most of you know, I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy on Monday morning. We have named him Elijah (Eli) Christopher. He weighed 7lb 6oz and was 51cm long. I had a somewhat *interesting* labour - but hey, aren't they all! No drugs though (hehe, I didn't have a choice!)

Anyway, I know you're all *busting* to see my little man, so I thought I better hurry up and share some photos. Check out this handsome little thing:












Anyway! This has taken me about 2 hours to upload due to slow speed and bandwidth, feeding nad settling Eli, and watching a little Friday Night Live in between... now I better think about getting to bed myself, if Eli is going to stay asleep this time..

Ngiht, Nat xxx

Awwww. He's just beautiful!!!! Looking at him, I want my little newborn back. Look at his little squished up face. And that little wrinkled brow. He's just adorable, Nat. And you're looking great too. You must be on cloud nine. And doing it naturally too! Well done. I've emailed you (again)
