Welcome Kate Elizabeth Hillmann!

Kate Elizabeth arrived on Monday at 2:35pm. She weighed 4,1 kg (9 lbs) and is 55,5 cm (22 in) in length and arrived with a mop of black hair!

Labour at the end was soooo fast that our poor little girl came out with a huge pressure bruise on her face, so although she is not the most beautiful of newborns, she is absolutely fantastic to us!

Too knackered now to post more...

Here are some pics.

Congratulations, Jules, Kate IS beautiful, and I'm so glad she was decisive and came quickly for you! Thanks for getting pics up for us to see - makes us feel a little closer. I had hoped to congratulate you on the phone, but haven't managed to be home at an appropriate time to call. I'm dying to hear about Kate, so I'll try soon. xoxoxxo Love you lots, Rose
