Kate Ashleigh Stopforth

This morning, at 07h08, Kate Ashleigh Stopforth joined our family.


Kate, age 0

The moment I walked into the ward at sparrow’s fart this morning the memories began to flood back. Ethan was born in the same hospital, same surgery, almost four years ago. It’s amazing how quickly you forget the sites, smells and sounds – and the depth of the emotions that go along with them.

All I care about is that Kate and her mom are well, which they are, and as an added bonus she’s a beautiful little creature to boot.

A huge thank you must go out to all our family and friends who have been so supportive and generous, and then above all to my wife who endured a tough pregnancy, came through like a trooper and will no doubt be as good and even better a mommy to Kate as she already is to Ethan.

I’m a blessed guy. Pics are at http://flickr.com/photos/mikestopforth/sets/72157611001813254/.

    It’s the best feeling in the world to see them for the first time after they’re born.
