I'm so glad you got the news Shelbs. I wanted to email you, but recently rebuilt my computer and lost all my address book.

Quick correction to what I said above... That's 6lbs 8oz (not 18oz, which would make her over 7lbs) D'OH

Anyway, I just want to thank everybody who has sent me their well wishes. I just got back from the hospital and Belinda had a peacful night... Carmen didn't make a singlke noise till breakfast time (and then she really wasn't that noisy). I really hope she continues like this...especially after having 2 very loud boys already

Thanks again
Allan

Is she still in hospital. I might pop round this arvo...

I just got home from visiting the Gowens in the hospital. Carmen is the most adorbale little thing you have ever seen. What a little angel.

I think Allan is going to post some pictures when he has time.

I think she looks like Belinda but has Allan's temprement, very quiet and shy.

Gatecon · 30th December 2003, 07:47 AM

hmmmm... Quiet, but NEVER shy !!! (me I mean)

It was so great that you came in Shelbs. You were the first non-family person to see Carmen.

Congratulations, Allan, to both you and Belinda. I was going to call this afternoon but I didn't know which one was your number

.

And fingers crossed...maybe Carmen's personality will rub off on the boys
