I will start with pictures, and go from there!
I must begin by apologizing for taking so long to update my blog.
Things have been a little busy, as you can see here. As well, I know that my friends have done a wonderful job picking up my slack and introducing you to my new baby girl. We did have a few complications and spent some extra time in hospital, but are home now and everyone is on the mend.
For those of you who missed the beautiful welcome broadcast by Ryan and Bridget, may I introduce to you the fourth member of our family, the beautiful and beloved Danielle Irene Sloan Sandwith. Named in honour of my Grandmother and a much anticipated arrival, she is known affectionately in our household as “Baby Daisy”. Her big sister declared from the start that Mummy was having a girl and that the baby’s name was Daisy and it has stuck.
I must take a minute to offer profuse thanks to everyone at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
From the perinatal clinic, to the staff in the ICU, to all of the wonderful ladies in unit 38.
Specifically I want to thank Nicole, Cheryl, Carolyn, Alanna, and all of the other nurses who were so supportive and nurturing. I will not forget your kindnesses.
To Doctors Patel, Paterson, and Mayo: My daughter and I owe you a debt of gratitude we can never begin to repay. Thank you.
Finally, to Dr Chris Hoskins, whom I believe is an angel on this earth. He probably should have given up on me years ago, and didn’t. And now my family is complete. xo
Now that I have figured out how to log in to this blog from home (hey, I have never claimed to be a technological genius!) I will keep posting pictures and updates as our family settles in to our new life.
See you soon!

September 16th, 2009 at 5:50 amFirst thing a big congrats!
I just wanted to quickly say thanks for sharing your family life with us on tv. I went on bed rest the day you went off tv and had Coco. I too had my first daughter early. Your story really helped me. And now pregnant with my 2 nd baby( 12 weeks) I have been on bed rest for 6 weeks now. I really just wanted to say thanks. I felt like I was the only one that has been on bed rest and you really helped me believe that all women don’t have a “perfect” pregnancy.
