Belatedly, introducing Anya

Picture of Anya drinking from a bottle

The photo gallery is here. The YouTube channel is here.

Anya Fickling Mackenzie was born at 11.46pm on Thursday 19 August at the RPA Hospital in Camperdown, Sydney, weighing in at 3.12kg (she weighs pi! Does that mean her circumference will ALWAYS be her diameter times her weight?) and 48cm long.

After giving us a bit of a scare when she was but two days old, she is doing really well, eating like a Bavarian woodman, crying like a supermodel who's lost her iPhone, wheezing and snorting and sneezing like an emphysaemic old man, and pooing like ... well, only babies can really poo like that.

Birth story and other tales will update here later. Right now, she's having a snooze on my chest all bundled up in a sling, but she's starting to grizzle so I'll have to post this before we get a scream.

  4. What a little dote! Scary, though. She obviously plans to keep you both on your toes. I had a neighbour once who got her husband to sit shifts with her day and night to listen to their baby son's breathing -- until he was one month old.
    Love Noni
