Woah. I did not even know you were expecting.
All the best for you and yours, Lee.
...y'know, it's not too late to change her name to something a tad less exotic. The life you save may be your own and all that.

Congratulations, Lee to you and your wife. Tallulah eh? Not from the Tori Amos song of the same name perhaps
I did find this via google, although I had to spell it with only one l. Although the double l came up with lots of hits reguarding the Tallulah Gorge State Park and Tallulah Falls etc. in Georgia.
This was a hit from a baby-names website:

It makes me think of Turonga Leela. I'm happy for you, Lee. How is Kate? I suppose she's glad to get it over with. Was it "on schedule"?

Congratulations, Lee. "Tallulah Ruth Kelly" just sounds beautiful. Kids with weirdish names grow up better.
Not to pry into anything too personal, but was this the medical condition you cited as one of the reasons for your return to the UK?

You still have time to change her middle name to "Coola". That way her name rolls of the toungue as "Tallulah Coola Kelly".
She'd be huge in Hawaii!

Is your name really Balaam?
Oh and thanks for answering my question while prying into Lee's personal life. I think he returned to the UK for a foreskin reconstruction.

Yes, this was the medical condition he cited before. I believe he said it would have cost a fortune for Kate to give birth in NZ, so they moved back to the UK. He didn't want everyone to know about the baby at the time so no one told...

That's correct. Thanks all. And yes, Tallulah means exactly that, and it's even better given she's an Aguarius like my wife. Once we chose the name we stuck to it, even after some annoying minor soap star shose to name her baby that, or when we discovered that our other favoured name, Tamsin, is actually derived from the female version of Thomas, our preferred boy's name, chosen for Kate's favourite grandfather who dies recently. We still weren't totally sure until we saw her. She looks like a Tallulah.
It was a long haul. Kate's various medical conditions made giving birth a risky proposition but the NHS care we've had was fantastic. Midwife in the room for the whole 24 hours - even if we did get through three shifts of them - and Kate's favourite anaesthetist there at all the crucial stages. I'm knackered and have spent most if today asleep; going to go back in to the hospital now. Photos to follow. 8)
With our almost 3 month head start with our little girl, I�ll be here to answer all your questions.
I won�t be able to answer correctly mind you, but I�ll provide answers nonetheless.
