It's a Girl!




Noah and I are now holding our baby girl, who was born at 8.20am on Friday, 19th May.

She is gorgeous and healthy. I had a very long labour (pre-labour started Wednesday 17th at around 2pm!) - but most of it at home with an amazing support team of Noah, his mum Ruth, and our midwives Jillian and Andrea. However, dilation was just too slow and I got exhausted. In the end, and after trying everything we could once at the hospital, little baby Nielsen came out with the assistance of forceps at Lismore Base Hospital. Noah and I are both thrilled that she is safe and beautiful - that's all that matters in the end.

We are now at home and recovering, getting some sleep, and enjoyed waking up with our baby in our own bed this morning.

No name yet..but will keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy the photos!!

Love, Erica, Noah and baby.....

Congratulations to the three of you!!!! And welcome to the world gorgeous baby. This is for you....
Nature formed you with perfect feet and hands and a heart that beats non-stop, sometimes for a hundred years. You were made complete. You have inherited a thousand generations of wisdom, skill poetry, song, all the sunrises and sunsets of knowledge past. You are the sum of all the people who went before you.... Inside you are more possibilities than you could possibly use up in one lifetime. If you can dream it, you can do it, because the instinctive knowledge of how to succeed is already programmed within you waiting to be turned on, it is waiting to flow like a river as you come on stream.......BRYCE COURTENAY (from a recipe for Dreaming)

Congratulations from Melbourne. Really wish we could see your beautiful little girl up close but will have to wait until the next visit (Maybe around Christmas). Great to have little kids running around the farm and hope we can add to the Harris Road tribe soon too.

Lots of Love

- Rita & Chris
