Where it all began.

I found this picture looking at a group of photos about Bournemouth
This is the location in the lower Bournemouth gardens just outside the pavillion, where on the 15th December 2000, I got down on one knee, asked Katie to marry me and serenaded her.
Garden River

What a lovely picture. Not sure why I can't link it to the blog!

Jenna Louise Cottrell

Born at 1:12pm , Monday 21st May 2007. Weight 7lbs 3oz (33cm head!), length unknown.



I have posted some photos to my flickr site, here is one of them.
This is her first pose, and she has not made much noise, she fed straight away, even before the cord was cut (by me) and she looks like she will be a good sleeper.
We have fallen in love with her already - just like her older sisters.

5 Days late

We think the baby is comming. Mum is on the way to take the kids to school, and then I'll take Katie to the Hospital.

10 Days Later

It has been 10 Days since the last baby update, Katie had written a long email about our recent trip to the hospital... and I have decided to start my Parernity Leave from tommorrow anyway.
We are still waiting, but to be honest the due date is not until the 16th - so it's not like it's late is it.

Countdown to Birth

We have been on alert Since Sunday Morning, because Katie thought the labour was starting. At about 4am she was woken with some very strong and long contractions - and she had several over a 2 hour period - so she woke me up to put me on stand-by, but then it all stopped. That was 5 days ago.
On Tuesday afternoon Katie called me to say that she wasn't having contractions but she felt very much how she felt immediately prior to the Labour with Leah. That was 3 days ago.
Every afternoon and morning Katie has been having a series of contractions - but still no Labour and no Baby. The due day is still 12 days to go.
Leah has her Bouncy Castle Birthday party tomorrow - so Let's hope the baby doesn't crash the party - but I would be great to have our new arrival this weekend.

These Pictures were taken on Sunday the 24th April at a Country Park - Katie is even bigger now but still as much fun.
I Love her very much and I'm getting really excited about the new baby - and I've almost caught up with Katie on the preparation.
