Introducing Evie Grace Dicker
It happened! We have a baby girl! Little Evie Grace Dicker was born at 11:26pm, Saturday September 6th 2008, weighing in at 3.95kg and 52cm long.
Fi did a completely awesome job in labour. Fi will be the first to admit that she doesn’t have many stories of physical perseverance, and she doesn’t really have a high pain threshold but she handled it like a true champion! And… wait for it… no drugs! A lot of hot water and a little bit of gas, but no drugs! Fi now has the biggest story of perseverance and pain tolerance that a person can achieve.
It was all very exhausting, and we’re only now starting to catch up on some sleep. She’s feeding and settling quite well at present, we hope it lasts!
There are plenty of stories to tell, and maybe I’ll chronicle some, or you can ask me and I’ll bore you to death with them… but for now here’s a couple of photos to wet your appetite.

I think she looks like a real Carmichael!!!???
She is sooo cute! It’s great Adelaide has a sweet little cousin.
Tell Howie, that I like the name Howie and if we have a boy that would be a serious contender although I don’t think Laurence will have it.Also there is a great shop in Uk called Howies. Howie should order some clothes from there although they are quite expensive.
