To be disgustingly pleased with myself?

I just had a BABY!! That's right, a whole new person! Was meant to be having an ELCS for medical reasons at 38 weeks, but was 32 weeks today and baby Samuel decided he wanted out RIGHT NOW, unfortunately by the time the doc believed me it was too late for any pain relief, let alone theatre! Baby's in SCBU just to help him along with breathing as he was a bit lazy, but he's a wee bruiser at 5lbs 3.5ozs and I'm hoping I can have a cuddle soon.

So, sorry for the intense smugness, but AI really B that U to have a fairly high opinion of myself right now?!

YADNBU - having a baby without pain relief gives you an amazing sense of 'Raaah, I am woman!' doesn't it? Samuel is an awesome name and what a good weight he is!!! Huge congratulations from me...
