Just to let you all know that Eleanor Amaris finally arrived yesterday (Saturday 18th) at 16:05. Labour was slow getting started, but went from 4 cm to having the baby in an hour (so that was a bit intense!). Baby born in the birthing pool at home with a 4 minute second stage! and only a small graze. She weighs 8lb exactly, and is just perfect

Um, that's all, really. Going to have to work on this one handed typing, I can see....

What lovely photos - especially 5! She doesn't look like a newborn at all in that one, more like the life and soul of the party!!
Congratulations.

Just came across these pics. She looks absolutly lovely and from her crying picture doesn't look as if she should have a problem fixing Is the feeding improving?
