Our beautiful baby girl, Isla Niamh Rose was born on the 10th February. Her names are pronounced Eye-la, Neve.
Isla is a Scottish name which means 'Island' which felt appropriate after our holiday to Hawaii and the significance it had for us as a couple after hubby's recovery from cancer.
Niamh is an Irish name which means 'daughter of the sea'. It seemed fitting with the first name but also because we wanted an Irish name as hubby's mum was Irish.
Rose is one of my favourite flowers and a pretty English name.
The photos were taken when Isla was 8 days old. Her uncle is a professional photographer and took some beautiful photos when Isla came home from hospital. Sean's work can be seen at www.gertlushphotography.co.uk
The story about her birth will follow once I can locate the cable to upload the photos to my computer. I also have plenty to share about the house renovations and the progress made so far.

how are things going with her heart? i've thought of you often, especially since our little girl was born with a heart issue, which thankfully is fairly minor but we were pretty stressed for a while as they were doing tests and we went to the pediatric cardiologists'... how are things going for you guys??

Congratulations! She is so beautiful and I love her name! Isn't it just amazing? When I was pregnant I was very excited and of course knew that I would love my baby so much. But you really have no idea until you stare into those eyes for the first time how much love your heart is capable of. It is truly a miracle and a blessing . . . even when it is so hard, because it definitely is hard! :) Best to you and your family during this very special time.
