The best birthday present EVER! Miss Ruby has arrived!

Yes I got my wish and the most beautiful little girl Miss Ruby Rose was born on the 4th August 2010 at 7pm weight 11lbs 7oz - finally by emergency C Section in Brisbane Australia.

It was a very stressful time for me being so far away and having to wait patiently to hear any news all day (that is a whole other story) . However the wonderful outcome was well worth it.

My daughter is doing well (C Section is not the best) however after 15hrs labour and the size of Ruby it was the best decision ever made.   The Son-in-law is totally in love and the family are all happily getting to know each other.

I so do miss not being able to share those first special days - photos are just not the same and I am a little jealous to hear other people are having cuddles with our little girl.   However I do not have long to wait until it is my turn as I have just booked to go over later next week when they are home to stay for a week. 

So exciting!!!!   and yes I will say it again the "best birthday present" I could ever get.
