Ds is 'nearly new'

[ames]

I didnt get round to putting his birth in the local paper so I just wanted to announce it here even though he's 6 weeks old tomorrow (DD is 15 months so I'm a bit busy!)
He was 9 days early (dd was 10 days late) so wasn't expecting it. I was 8cm dilated when the midwife arrived at 7:30pm (for a planned home birth) and after going through absolutle hell with dd, my experience of home birth was fantastic! Ds was born at 10:30pm and we were all tucked up in bed by 2am.

Love hearing great second birth stories. Congrulations, I am impressed only 15 months between them - that is impressive.

Congrats, I have only 13 months between my two, it's easier than everyone else thinks - you just get on with it!

Sleep when they sleep. take toddler, book, biscuits and drink and lie down on your bed when you feed during the day, amazing how the older one will often have a nap then ( it worked for me)

Enjoy your toddler, DD will grow up really fast now!

Big Congratulations!!!!
You've given me new hope after watching my sister give birth in water on Saturday. It looked worse than I remembered and did put me off a bit, but after reading your post I feel differently.
Well done and Welcome to little ds!

Thanks everyone forgot to mention ds is Samuel (after about 3 days of being called baby) and he weighed 7lb 2. It was feeling a bit of a non event no-one seemed particurly bothered so you've cheered me up - I think people are bored of me having babies.
