Hello all!
Just to let you know that I gave birth via a c/section on Tuesday 3rd February to a beautiful baby girl.
There is a bit of a long story involved so I will post more later if anyone wants the details.
Suffice it to say at the moment that she was a whopper at 10lbs and 10oz so there was NO way she was coming out the normal route!!!!
We are at home now and all is well ... I am totally in love with her, she is feeding beautifully (and I DO have enough milk!!!), I am feeling totally relaxed about it all, DS loves his baby sister, DH is besotted and is delighted that his wife is still smiling (unlike the last time!!)
Lots of love
Ghosty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Congratulations Ghosty. I've been checking every day for your announcement. Wonderful to know that she made her appearance before your parents flew home. Does she have a name yet?

Big hugs to you all.
