Elijah Samuel Dowsett was born at home at 10:16 pm on Friday 18 August 2006, weighing 8lbs 1.5oz
Susannah and Noah seem to be very pleased with their new brother, and both of them have enjoyed holding him today.
So far, Elijah is keeping to the time zone in which he began, rather than the one in which he was born. He kept his mum and dad up through his first night, and has slept most of today…
Sleep-deprivation aside, Jo is doing really well. The midwives were amazed at how calm she is in labour. She was amazing, and I am so proud of her. As for Elijah, he has won her heart from the first moment.
Welcome to our family, Elijah! You are much loved…
