It's A Girl!
Baby Sophia entered the world at 3.59am on Sunday January 22nd, a petite 6lb 9oz and angelic beyond the comprehension of either of her parents.
The little darling is happy, healthy and outrageously cute. Her hobbies include pooing, sleeping, sucking her fingers (each in succession, to determine which is the most tasty) and just sitting back observing her crazy parents while they flutter about trying to figure out what to do (luckily the staff at Mercy Women's Hospital have been unbelievably helpful and supportive).
Mum is doing amazingly well considering the toll that a natural delivery takes on a woman's body. All of us are due to come home tomorrow (I've just popped back to have a shower, grab a few items and placate the demands of relatives for photos, photos and more photos).
A blow-by-blow commentary, all the statistics plus more photos to come soon. These snaps should suffice until then.
Update: The little wriggle pot has written her own version of the events of the day. Kim's is still to come, in its own inimitable style and detail.

Posted by mattymcg at January 24, 2006 04:29 PMOMG Matt&Kim - congrats from me and daz! The perfect name for a beautiful little girl. It still amazes me that we can make babies....
Posted by: kat at January 24, 2006 06:44 PMShe's just beautiful! Congratulations to you both. And yeah, a lovely name. Great to hear that you're all happy and healthy.
Posted by: Martine at January 24, 2006 07:39 PMSofia is a nice name. Why did you give her the first name of "Baby"? I dunno, these Generation Xers.
Well done you two.
Posted by: Hammy at January 24, 2006 11:39 PMCongratulations! Now to get used to changing nappies...
Posted by: Dan of The Webb at January 25, 2006 01:10 AMCONGRATULATIONS!!! i'm so happy to see that sophia minimc has made it into the world happy and healthy.
much love from NYC, gleek and KP
Posted by: gleek at January 25, 2006 02:17 AMCongratulations! She is adorable. How does it feel to be a father? Well I guess technically you have been a father for 9 months in a sense, or is that father-to-be? Im confused. And I am also confused with the name. I thought you were naming the baby Wrigglepot?? Well I guess Sophia is a more beautiful name. Anyways, omedeto McG!
Posted by: Al at January 25, 2006 09:44 AMNice work Kim and Matt. She's gorgeous! So great to hear both Sophia and Kim are doing well.
Congratulations.
Posted by: Ben at January 25, 2006 10:10 AMYAY, CONGRATS matt and kim. so very very very cute! x x x Anna
Posted by: anna at January 25, 2006 10:59 AMCongratulations to you too! The father may be somewhat in the "background" (I should know, after 22 years) but itīs still great. I am sure it will be great for you too. I would like to request my mother in Turkey to send you guys a small protect-the-baby-thing (Itīs actually for little Sophia). If you send your address to my email, I will forward it to her and also give you my contact details.
Posted by: Ferit at January 25, 2006 07:18 PMThanks for the kind words everyone, we're home now and settling in. We gave Sophia a quick tour of her new home, a bath and a feed and she is tucked up for the night.
The account of the day that no doubt you have all been waiting for, Kim's 35 degrees take on things, is in the workings and will make its appearance soon.
Posted by: mattymcg at January 25, 2006 09:58 PMCongratulations Matt & Kim!
I'm jealous that a newborn can put out more frequent blog posts than I can :D
Posted by: Cameron Adams at January 26, 2006 02:56 AMCongratulations guys!
She's absolutely gorgeous (as if there was any doubt she would be)! Welcome to the world Sophia!
Best wishes from myself and Matt.
