Well she eventually made it... 5 very long days overdue (for Mommy at least) but Sarah Paige Bentley arrived at 01.24am on Septmeber 9th.

Weighing in at 7lb 13oz, 20.5 inches long this very healthy bundle brings our little family to three!!

Daniel and I feel very blessed with such a beautiful baby girl and cannot wait to experience every stage as she continues to grow...

Labour went well, a total of 6 hours, contractions started at approx 7.30pm on Monday the 8th, and Sarah was born the following morning. As much as I had intended for a natural birth with as little drugs as possible, at aprox 11pm the epidural was the only option left and was very welcomed once it took effect :D
Mom, Dad, and Sarah are settling into their new roles and new house nicely, have been extremely supported by family and friends (who always seem to arrive with food which is wonderful!!) and are eagarly awaiting the arrival of family from the UK next weekend!!!
Stay tuned for more pictures soon!!! xx

Well today has come and gone (well almost) and there is still no sign of baby girl Bentley :(
I have to say that I am quite disapointed as even though I expected to go past my due date I was secretly hoping that she might arrive on time. Daniel is now more than ever convinced that she is like me since she's late although I don't agree with that...!!!

Anyways... so the news is, there is no news... hopefully she won't keep us waiting too much longer.. I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible from here on out..
