tortoiseshell's baby

By order of marina, here is my birth announcement thread - ds2 was born 14.54 on Monday - 8 days late. He was a homebirth, which was as planned. Labour was longish for a 3rd birth - about 11 hours or so, with lots of walking around trying to get baby to get a move on, but he is a laid back little soul and came in his own good time! 2nd stage was only 2 minutes long, so once he decided to come, he really got on with it! Fortunately no stitches, so am recovering well.

He's (obviously) very cute Wink and a joy to cuddle - am very much in love with him, as are his big brother and sister!

oh yes of course (sorry nappy brain) I knew that didnt I? remembered it as we both had sizes on opposite ends of spectrum.

Don't worry about the feeding I am sure it will all work out.

tortoiseshell · 05/05/2006 16:12

Don't worry enid - my brain has disappeared along with the placenta I think - keep forgetting little one's name! CAT me if you're desperate to know his name...or www has my email.
