Kristina Caitlin arrives safe and sound

It has taken me ages to get round to do this, but i have found time now.
Kristina Caitlin arrived safe and well by C-Section (elective) on Thursday 19th Feb. Weighing in at 7lb 10ozs and 18 1/2 ins long.
We are all doing so well and at this moment she is weighing in at 8lb 5ozs, so feeding is no problem to our little angel.
Emotions have been very up and down, delighted with our new arrival and the sadness the she will never know her brother or our other two sad losses, but we expected to encounter these feelings.
Dp is over the moon, in fact he has turned into an obsessive pram pusher! I can hardly get to push my own pram when we are out, but there is no harm in him being a proud and very relieved daddy. Our doggy is proving to be a wonderful girl, very gentle and protective.
All in all we have had a wonderful ending to a very traumatic 18 months. Happy doesn't even begin to descibe it

Lewei, thanks for updating us about Kristina's birth. So glad all is going well apart from tussling over the buggy!
It feels like emerging from a long tunnel into the light, doesn't it...I'm really happy to see you out in the sunshine too after everything you have both been through. Have a wonderful, wonderful Spring.
