Isn't she beautiful? She arrived just before lunchtime last Friday, via c-section as planned and weighing 6lb 6.5oz or 2.9kg. We are both well and came home on Monday. Now we're all just getting used to doing what needs doing.
I've got to a stage where I need to connect more with the things I was doing before she arrived - including my stitching and blogging. It would be far too easy to let Iona take over my life, but I feel that if I do that then I'll end up as depressed and isolated as I was last time and I swear I never want to go there again. I'd like to be able to enjoy the time I have with her.

Great name too. I remember being at a small castle in Scotland, and it was the last stop for ancient Kings on the way to be buried on the Isle of Iona. The whole story always intrigued me.

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful, sweet little Iona!! You've chosen such an unusual, lovely name, unusual at least in my part of the world. My daughter will be interested as she likes unusual names, especially of a Celtic derivation. She recently gave her new daughter the middle name of Aoibheann! :)
Have just discovered your blog! You have the best gift in the world now! Congratulations!Iona is beautiful.
Iona is gorgeous!!! Are you sure the faries didn't leave her with you? She's so precious, Lesley! Congratulations to all of you. Bet the monkey is behaving himself now! Love and hugs,
