Here at last!


Martha Heidi Cook joined her family on Monday 23rd April at 6.47am weighing 8lb 30z. Daddy was able to cut the cord - his first time. Martha has lots of thick dark hair just like her sister Naomi had at birth, and a birthmark under her left armpit just like mummy's!

Her first visitors were Aunty Helen, Uncle Andrew and cousin Cara - who came for cuddles when she was about 4 hrs old! Then Grandma brought in her 3 big sisters Emily 7yrs, Naomi 5yrs and Liesl 3yrs. They all took turns to hold their new baby sister.
Later in the early evening, Aunty Sam, Uncle Kris and cousins Nathan and Lewis came along meet Martha, and she had more cuddles with everyone.

Martha had her first ECG and ecchocardiograms performed to check out her extra heartbeats - there is nothing to be worried about, but she will have a further check up at around 4 months.

After her busy first day she enjoyed being fed and cuddled constantly throughout the night.
