Ella Margaret Farren

Mother's Look

We are utterly ecstatic to announce that the Farren family has grown to five now with the birth of Ella Margaret Farren on Friday night at 10:39pm weighing in at a healthy 3.61kilos (7lbs 15 ounces). Ella was clearly enjoying life on the inside too much as it took her 21 hours to get out but when she eventually made it she was fine, as was Mum although very tired as you would expect.

Ella has a lovely mop of black hair, a splodgy Farren nose and has spent the first 24 hours of her life mostly asleep.

Sam's turn now "Ella is a great sister altho she does cry and I am forced to change the nappies. We are very excited to see Ella and she brings great joy to the family around the world. Mum is still very tired. The first time I held Ella it felt like holding some special, another great part of life, a special sister."

Joe says "When I first held Ella it felt pretty nice because she is beautiful, and when we got there she was only twelve hours old"

We will be bringing Ella and Nikki home tomorrow and no doubt will be spending hours on Skype showing her off to family and friends around the world. We look forward to at least 20 years worth of blog posting about Ella until she leaves home, that is assuming there is any young man out there who is even remotely good enough for my BEAUTIFUL daughter.
