Many thanks to everyone who responded so kindly. Mother and daughter are
doing very well. I picked them up from the hospital late this morning so
the stay in hospital was only 20hrs or so.
I think the weird Aussies caused a bit of a consternation - no drugs, no
interventions, no repairs and out of there in a flash.
Apparently every woman is requesting an epidural in this particular
maternity hospital these days. The midwife remarked to the student nurse
to note how alert Aisling looked and how nice it was to see, as most
newborns are not, due to being affected by pain relief medication.

Yes, I think they call it nesting behaviour. 8-)

Dan, Dan - This provides both an excellent subject to photograph and an
excuse for more or better glass. ;-)

Tom, the 90mm was chosen to allow unobtrusive imaging of just the face and
tiny little hands. It allowed me to shoot away without getting IN the
way. The 35-80/2.8 magnifies pretty well at 80mm but not quite enough to
capture just the central facial features.

I don't have a web site to put it up on. I might try the site you
suggested, thanks. Have to get the films developed and scanned first!

Administering the list is not quite as arduous as some might think, at
least not the way a slacker like me does it ;-)
