And so after the wait comes the first photos taken of the newest member of the Dryden family.
But first, a word on how bad things are for Authrine. Look at this meal and continue to pray for her.

I need to stress, this is what she asked for, not what was only on offer, or the only palatable thing on offer – this is what she asked for.
Now I know this isn’t the clearest picture on planet earth and I’m not going to challenge any quality photographers in their profession, but here is the very first photograph taken of Zoë just minutes after she popped out.
So you need something far more substantial to do you for a first shot of the new girl on the Dryden block. Well hopefully this one will do.

What do you mean you want to know how the mother is? Oh go on then.
This is getting better, though, trust me, I know you want a really good shot of little baby … but this isn’t it, it’s just another clever picture of the photographer taking a photograph of a photographer taking a photograph. Like one of those mirror deals where you look in the reflection to see the reflection of someone like you looking at the reflection, etc. etc.
Saving the best for last then – here she is, born at 6lb13oz at 01:25 on Saturday 10th April 2010.
For His Name’s Sake
