Thomcat has her kitten

[THOMCATsForLifeNotJustForXmas]

And she really is a little kitten

Had the home birth I wanted, took 4 hours from start to finish. She weighed 8lb 4oz.

Haven't decided on name yet, need to get to know her a bit better.

She's breastfed but only a couple of times, she spent the rest of the day sleeping. She's so peaceful and so lovely.

Lottie saw her be born. My bestest friend was here with us and with Lottie all the way through, then as I felt the head come they came into the room with us both. Lottie sat on the end of the bed, totally not freaked, she was really happy and really excited and just said 'Look Baby'.

It was so much more painful this time, bigger baby and in less time but boy - that hurt! But we are all so happy, you can imagine, perfectly in time for Xmas and 2 days after Lotties birthday

A really beautiful baby girl to complement our other beautiful girl.

Pics soon.

Big love, big smiles, just general over the mooness!

congratulations Thomcat I'm so glad it all went well. And so pleased Lottie is happy (beats my dd1 who just pointed and yelled "don't certainly like baby"!)What a lovely Christmas present for you all. I hope you have everything arranged so that you are to be waited on hand and foot.

Congratulations so pleased for you all.

Twas a very beautiful bump so i can only imagine how beautiful kitten actually is.

I have no idea how "certainly" got there. It was meant to be before the "beats"!!

Blimey, is it really that long since you announced you were pregnant????

Well done you!
