Posting for JaysFirst

Hi, just to let you know that Jay has given birth to baby Harriette.

03.01.2006
8.55am
9lbs 5oz
23.5 inches long (.5 inch off 2 foot long!)

Um, she will write up the labour story later I guess. But she is in for 48 hr plus observations due to water breaking then a 40 hour wait before birth. "True Labour" was about 8 hours for the 1st stage and 1.5 for the second. No water birth, she had to go it alone, the epidural didnt work as Jay has bad scarring on her back due to a disk operation and she didnt like the G&A.
She did really well, didnt even scream. Made my life easy!

Anyway, that's the scoop. Pictures on www.peanutmonkey.co.uk
