This server is getting tired of hosting nothing but baby photos, so we thought it prudent to set Louisa up with her own website. We will be posting all baby related news and photos on this new site, so if interested, please bookmark and keep checking in. The address is (creatively enough) www.louisakane.com

I can't say I'm entirely surprised, as it's a bit of a tradition in our family. Nothing for Father's day. I would have thought little Louisa cared about her daddy, however this doesn't appear to be the case.

Louisa is home, well and has passe the hearing test. Parents wondering when the next full nights sleep is going to happen.

Louisa Kane (aka Lulu) born today at Waitakere Hospital. The ends a gargantuan 48 hours of labour, and we are glad it's all over. Our little girl was born around 2:20 this afternoon (19th July 2005) and is (as far as we can tell) healthy. Weight 3.5kg (about average for blokes who don't care)....

It's late, so this will be brief. We went into hospital around 2pm yesterday, and it's been hard work since. Still no baby, and according to the experts still not even close. Kirstin has been in labour for 36 hours now, so it's been hard. I'm at home getting a couple of hours sleep, fingers...

These images are from the ultrasound taken last tuesday (5th July). They aren't as clear as the previous pics, but at least baby doesn't look like a skeleton anymore.

Well, can't be too much longer to go now. Due date is on the 6th July, and if it doesn't show up by then it looks like baby might be induced. Personally, I think it's going to come on July 4th just to spite me (America pisses me off, so having a kid born on independence day would tear my nighty)....

We have a baby due in July 2005, and had our first scan in february. The images it produced are actually pretty cool. We are keeping the sex of the baby a surprise, I think that's kinda cool, although Kirstin would love to know what it is so she can go nuts shopping for blue or pink.

We have just ordered a Quinny Buzz buggy thing to move the kid around in. Ordered from the Netherlands, should be here in a few weeks. Kirstin spent some time sussing these buggys out, and her consensus was that the ones at farmers and baby shops here were no good, but there were a few brands...
