James Finley arrived at 06:46 this morning after another very quick labour were I was begging to get to hospital (planned homebirth) as the pain was HORRENDOUS. I went from no dilation at all, and I mean nothing the midwife couldn't even feel my cervix to delivery in 2hrs 15minutes and now feel like I've been beaten up!

However I haven't got any stitches which I'm amazed at and well.......James is just perfect.
8lb 3oz of prefection who has had a zillion kisses already from his biggest brother.

Blissfully happy and extremley tired.
