Mother and daugther take a well-earned rest...

I will let Jodie recover and find her own words, in her own time, to describe the amazing events of the last 24 hours. Expect many more photos to come! I will say just that this morning my wife showed her true strength, and a courage that is humbling; she fought through pain I can't begin to imagine, to acheive the natural birth she had so wished for. Jodie has brought into the world a beautiful, mesmerising little girl, our daughter, Sophia. I am so proud of them both.
