Thrilled to announce that Grace Michelle arrived at 5:17 am (NZ time) 17 September.

Weighing in at 3.180kg/about 6pounds 7ounces, after a very intense 2 hour active labour. Got a water birth (only just in time!) with gas and air. Yay, no tears or stitches.

Will post more again later.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thanks for all your good wishes.

Grace is lovely. BF is going very well (unlike with ds 2.5 years ago).

The waterbirth was great and did not stress my spd, which seems to have completely disappeared!!

Yawningmonster, are you situated in NZ, or are you overseas? ARe you expecting?
