On Friday 29th June at 1:25am Christian and I welcomed Katja Aoibhe Anear Saemann into the world. With her mass of gorgeous hair and perfect heart-shaped face, she weighed in at 2.91kg or 6lbs 6 and 51cm long. She had left us waiting, being 11 days overdue but once we showed her the door she didn’t waste any time at all – start to finish was a mere 7hrs.

Our brand new family

Cosy in her handknits

She’s got attitude

Rocking her hearing test

All scrubbed up

Safe in Daddy’s arms












congratulations mom and dad. you have a pretty daughter.
You are very blessed – beautiful baby, gorgeous blankie and a seven-hour Labour as well!
Congratulations to parents and grandparents and thank you for showing the wonderful pictures. Did you put a tatting shuttle in her hand when she was born? – or perhaps it was a knitting needle.
Thank you for the wonderful pictures of you all. Katja is adorable. Very cuddly, by the look of it.
Wow. Congrats Kersti, I am very excited for the three of you – what adventures to look forward to

[...] Well, it wasn’t really 2.5 days – truth be told we first popped into the city offices to start the process way back in December. We were given a list of all the items that I would need to provide in order to get married in Germany. The plan at that stage was to be married before Katja arrived. [...]
Congratulations to you bot Kersti. . Katya is absolutely gorgeous – maybe I will bump in to you in Edinburgh and say hello to you both
