Wednesday, 8th October 2008: 9:30pm, we arrived at hospital.
Here's Laura putting on a brave smile in the birth suite...
... only two hours later, our little baby girl arrived.
Indianna Jane Winter was born at 11:30pm on Wednesday, 8th October 2008.
She weighed 3440grams/7lb 9 and is 51cm long.
Only minutes old...
Back in our room...
Tiny little feet...
Kaleb has welcomed Indi with lots of gentle cuddles and kisses.
His attention span is limited, so after a quick 'pat' he is back playing with his cars.
In fact, he is quite disappointed when we told him that Indi is a bit little to play cars yet.
Here is Kaleb showing Squishy (his penguin) how to give Indi a gentle pat.
Laura and Indianna...
Our precious little gift...

Indi in Poppy's hands.
We are incredibly thankful for this precious little gift God has given us. She feeds and sleeps well. Even though she is currently nocturnal (!) I'm sure that will change very soon as she grows a little.
Kaleb keeping busy at the hospital while Indianna (and Daddy) were sleeping. Matt and Kaleb stayed at home while Laura and Indianna were in hospital for a few days, coming up every day for a few hours to visit.
Indi with Kaleb and her cousins - 'the boys'.
Danny was keen to give Indianna lots of kisses.
James was in for cuddles as well.
Ma (Fay) wasn't going to miss out!
Nor was Poppy (Nev)!
Grandad (Greg) came in to spend the day visiting.
On Sunday, 12th October, we brought Indianna home from the hospital. The back seat is now very full with the two seats in there! Indianna gracefully filled her nappy just after we put her in and proceeded to cry most of the way home.
Coming home for the first time....
A couple of days after we came home, Nanna (Jill) came to visit for a few days.
Kaleb and Indi having cuddles with Daddy.
Kaleb is still a little disappointed that Indi won't play cars with him. He has asked almost every day if Indi can play cars with him.

Nanna and Kaleb teaching Indianna 'Twinkle, twinkle, little star".
After watching intently what Mum did with the 'boob pump', Kaleb has been trying almost every day to get some milk....with not a lot of success. 
I'd just like to take moment to say a huge THANK YOU to all our friends and family for your thoughts, prayers, phone calls, cards, meals, treats and hugs! We feel totally spoilt and undeserving. We love you.
...Will be back with some more photos soon....
