A very happy new year!

By Leah Ashton
Baby Ashton (less than an hour old!)
A very short LoveCats post from me today - as Baby Ashton and myself have been home from hospital only a few hours and she is *very* time consuming! (in the best possible way).

She was a little earlier than expected, scraping in just before the new year on Sunday. We were even able to watch some fireworks from our hospital room the next evening!

She is absolutely beautiful, and it is impossible to describe how lucky, and awestruck, and amazed I feel right now. I am also very much in a daze, and am miles behind on my emails and basically anything else that has been happening in the world. She's just had a very early morning feed, so I'm going to try and catch a few hours rest.

Happy New Year!
