She's here

Félicité Marie arrived on January 6th 2025 at 8.49 am via forceps delivery. We spent a couple of days in the hospital being treated for Sepsis, but we have been home for a couple of days now settling in. Daddy has been amazing, especially whilst I was poorly in hospital for the first 24 hours ❤️
