Hilary's new baby

For anyone interested, my two little boys were joined by a baby sister yesterday. My labour was just over an hour, almost all taken up with trying to get to the hospital and into a room in time - but we made it - just!

She was born at 3:50am on 1st March, weighing just over 9lbs. She is gorgeous, though the boys are beginning to wonder why she doesn't wake up to play much!

I feel better than I have for weeks!

Chatee, no, just in the toilet - sorry!

I feel fine. The boys really like their sister though I am having to work hard at keeping them entertained as when they get bored they start bickering and being naughty. Dd is a dream baby - 'I sleep for ages, I wake up and make a few quiet noises, I feed well, I have my nappy changed, I sleep for ages...' I hope it lasts but I shouldn't be under any illusions third time round, should I?!
