Isobel Maia Chapman-Smith

After a slow start to labour, Isobel was born on Wednesday 21 November at 6.31 pm, just 20 minutes after arriving at birthcare. We were well aided by a wonderful midwife Lee who was brilliant at guiding me and then spontaneously gave David the job of catching Isobel as she came into the world. She was a healthy 3.61kg or 8pds and looks simply gorgeous. Very similar in features to Alexa - brown hair, lovely skin, the David CS nose, dark eyes and a bit of dark hair.

Here are a few shots of her. In her special hat, being held by her mum, by Great Granny CS & by Gran (Henderson).
