Ashford Hospital have a scheme called "Baby Bliss" where you can transfer to the Adelaide Hilton and finish your hospital stay there. They provide a midwife onsite, but it's only suitable for mothers and babies that are doing really well and don't require other medical attention.

View from our hotel room across Victoria SquareWe found out on Saturday that the Doctors were happy for us to take this up, so that night the five of us spent our first night together as a family. The older kids enjoyed the experience - watching the trams and the fountain in Victoria Square from our room, Chinese takeaway and breakfast at the Pancake Kitchen. Narelle particularly enjoyed the room service (which is included for the mother).

I don't plan to blog anymore about Amelia at this stage. I prefer to be cautious about publishing details of our kids online (I know there are people out there that would misuse this information). When they're old enough I'll let our kids make that choice themselves.
