Hannah Rose Beckett said "hullo" to th
e world on Sunday 18th Dec 2011 at 11.44pm.
She did not appear too impressed with what she saw...
Danny was taken to the hospital at about 4.00am in the first mild stages of labour. Arthur and I were with her througout her labour - sometimes Arthur was more supportive than others...
Danny did very well during a difficult labour, delivering an 8lb 2oz baby naturally. Here she is with Hannah seconds after delivering her.
An excellent midwife, Erica Benjamin, assisted her, making sure that there was no tearing.
Dr Deon was also there making sure that all went well.
Arthur was given the baby to hold while Dr Deon and Erica gave Danny the attention she needed after the birth. They bonded so well that Arthur was fussy when I tried to hold his "little precious".
Hannah has a mop of lovely black hair; a button nose; chubby cheeks; a dimple in her chin; and l-o-n-g fingers and toes.Literally, within hours of her being born, congratulations were being announced on the radio, and all sorts of people (some whom I did not even know) greeted me on my way to work, congratulating us, and wishing us well. Such a lovely community spirit
