What is it about mothers and babies and damn hard work?

Well our gorgeous recent addition to the family that is Jones went and did it last night....Two days shy of her due date and after 23 hours of 'laborious' labour Matt's Rai birthed a magnificent creation....named Madeleine Lolita Jones, just shy of midnight last night.

It has been a very hard road for Rai as she lost her Mom not too long ago but she has ventured on with Matt's, the immediate families and her Mom right behind her I am sure.

I look forward to meeting this little lady who, if she has any of her mum's characteristics, will be a delight to behold.

Maddy's dad, Matt (my nephew) has already proclaimed she has dimples...these I cannot wait to see.

Well done you three I say!

Stuart Week 3 at home

The look on his face says it all....Mama...you are a Luddite!
Its been a finicky few hours on here as I try out different bits and pieces on my blog site. Not sure if I like this style yet and I value any ones opinion. I am also trying to learn how to paste from Picasa successfully. My dear friend "E" showed me recently how to change my settings, but alas this computer has a mind of its own "Computer said NO" and I reverted back to the olden ways somehow so I have been trying to revert it back to the new way. Bit like trying to train Stuart to wait for his dinner!.....
I also had some difficulty with a lot of photos I had uploaded to Picasa but hopefully I have sorted that out now.
Time will tell in the not so distant future.
We are all abuzz here tonight...My nephews partner is in labour as we speak and has been since 1 am. I am waiting for that all important phone call to inform me I am a Great Aunt yet again! I just hope that this time, it all goes her way for a change as she has had a lot of sadness to cope with in recent times.
Shall keep you posted!
