There's something very special about watching your best friend grow a little new life inside her and then before you know it, become a mother. It was so exciting welcoming little Emily into the world, conveniently timed on what would have otherwise been a lazy Sunday afternoon on the 13th of July.
There's also something entirely contagious when the immensely excited new father gives you a call to share the big news! Seriously I think excitement bubbles were floating out the other end of the phone...so we got there as soon as we could!
Here she is, just about four hours old...

I went and visited Mish, Ed, and Emily again on the weekend, it was very educational to say the least, and I don't quite understand how new parents function on so little sleep. The body must product some kind of constant adrenalin mixed with the stuff no-dose is made out of or something!
Here's Ed looking at her as she emits one of her tiny little sneezes!
A little makeshift baby-sized bed...
I had asked Sonia to make me a little apple-head beanie to keep this little one's head warm in winter. It is so gorgeous but I guess she'll have to grow into it just a little so we don't have to roll the apple up!
In mummy's arms....she looks so peaceful.
A sleepy smile for you to end this post...goodnight!
love always xox

Sounds as though someone is a little clucky??? You guys have been married for almost a year, is it time to add to the Chong brood? Such a beautiful little girl and another set of perfect pics by you, Trish. I want an apple beanie!
