Hiya

Not up to a full birth story yet, but thought I'd give you the basics.

Emrys John was born at 7.46am, weighing 8lb5oz (same as DD). After the very very very slow rest of labour, he decided it was time to get it over and done with, and went from 3cm to in our arms in less than an hour. Still didn't get to use the pool!!!! Its cursed I tell you!

I'll do a gory detail version when I'm more up to it... over 24 hours with no sleep isn't good for a coherent story.

Oh, got stitches too

Congratulations!

DumbledoresGirl · 24/02/2006 15:52

Lovely name Emrys.

Congratulations.

Congrats again. I'm jealous,I want mine NOW! (Don't suppose you want to sell your pool? or has dd got her eye on it for the summer )

Flamesparrow · 24/02/2006 16:07

The pool is cursed Catj - The girl I bought it off didn't get to use the thing either

I am more than willing to sell it if you want it though... will contact you when I am more coherant

Welcome back Flame,
Sorry you didn't gt to use your pool, but at least you got to have him at home.

You had a name all along! Not fair
Lovely choice, though.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 24/02/2006 16:47

Sorry about the stitches Flame, and sorry no pool use either, but for you, Emrys and your family!

Well done Flame - My pool unused too!!

Lovely name well done!

spidermama · 24/02/2006 20:56

Flame wow! Congratulations. 3 cm to out in less than an hour. Yikes! Talk about intense. No wonder you had stitches.

Many, many congrats. Now go to bed for several days and keep your legs together.

All the best. x

spidermama · 24/02/2006 20:57

My pool arrived at the door about 10 minutes after the baby.
