Nine and a half pounds, at home, no stitches but fuck me that hurt! The really good news is that my SPD already seems to be better (is that even possible?!? Maybe just hormones?) and I've slept for an hour already.

Mmmm leftover pancakes for breakfast and plenty of newborn cuddles (albeit practically toddler-sized already!)

DS2 was that size and I still feel proud of having pushed him out 7 years on Grin

baby will probably be very tall, are you or DP tall?

Yes we are both pretty tall. Amazingly no rubber ring needed! One small tear and no stitches which is a huge relief after last time Smile
