Introducing Grace Kennedy
Published March 6th, 2008 in Family
I’m so very, very proud to introduce you all to my daughter, Grace. She came into the world at 5:09am on the 6th of March 2008, weighing a petit 3.2kg and measuring 48.5cm long.
The birth wasn’t quite what we expected (more on that soon) but in the end we got what was most important, a healthy baby girl. Jenn did really well, staying fairly calm and focussed the whole time. I did my best to support her but she is a tough little bugger and did all the hard work herself.
The midwives at RPA and our obstetrician Anthony Frumar were excellent, they took good care of all three of us and we are so glad we birthed there.
It’s so cliched but oh so true, nothing can prepare you for this experience. I feel so happy when I hold this little miracle in my arms and see a face kinda like my own, looking back at me.
For the moment, we all really need a rest, but you’ll get a chance to meet this little miss in due course. And thanks to everyone for their best wishes so far!
UPDATE: I’ve uploaded some more photos

WOOO!!!
Congrats Pat! and Jen! How exciting - Photos?
Congratulations! She’s the image of you!
Thanks guys, it’s been a whopper of a week!
Just wanted to congratulate all of you! I’m very behind with all my RSS feeds (thanks to dial-up speed internet at home!. Grace is very cute!
Congratulations Patrick and Jen on the arrival of your beautiful daughter Grace.
Grab as much offered help as you can during those first couple of months it really makes the transition much easier.
Is that an offer Kenji? :)
congratulations pat, she’s gorgeous and what a beautiful name. You sound over the moon ;)
Hi Patrick, remember me - from Canon? I’ve been doing some surfing this afternoon while my baby’s having her sleep, and came across your site (via Step Two’s website). Just wanted to say congratulations and what a lovely name you’ve chosen. You must be over the moon. We’re almost 17 mths into parenthood now and I can honestly say it’s been the best experience of my life. All the best, Vanessa PS I decided not to return to Canon after my 12 mths maternity leave…
Thanks Venessa! It took a while longer than I thought but we got there in the end. I remember our baby conversations when you were heavily pregnant and Jenn and I were nowhere near it! Glad to hear all is well.
