emkana's little boy is here at last

[emkana]

Hello everybody,

Sebastian Edward was born last night, 7.34 pm, weighing 10 lb 4 1/2 !!!

First impressions are that he is FINE, thank God. Both dh and I think that he looks as if he might have achondroplasia, which would be fantastic news. He's been feeding beautifully already, and he can cry very well, so I'm happy to say that his lungs are working well at the moment.

I'm not completely relaxed yet because our biggest fear, Jeune syndrome, can't be excluded yet - symptoms of this condition can sometimes start when the child is already weeks, months or even years old. But atm things are looking very, very good and we are relieved and happy.

Thank you all so much again for thinking of me and for giving me all your support through this difficult pregnancy - it's been invaluable, it really has.

Love you all! XXXX

So, so thrilled for you - FANTASTIC NEWS!

A huge welcome to Sebastian Edward .

I've also followed your pregnancy with hope and good wishes.
Congratulations on Sebastian's safe arrival ...well done

blimey whata whopper!

Thank goodness for that, I don't think mumsnet could've held it's collective breath much longer. Big congrats from me, you must be over the moon, and your whole family. Enjoy your lovely little (big strapping) boy, sounds like you are massively already.

Well done.

Hi Emkana,

(I'm sat in library at school where I work, next to Y10 pupils, trying to stop tears from actually dripping down my nose as I read this.)
