Hi all
Freddie Robert was born yesterday at 11.05am weighing a hefty 10lb!
Had a bit of nightmare - couldn't raise the in-laws to take DS so had to drive to my mums to drop him off, my hospital was FULL so had to drive to the other one across the city, managed to do four hours in the pool, but due to his size and also the fact that he turned out to be back to back, I just couldn't do it, so they gave me a very mild epidural(not a spinal block as such ), so I still felt the head crowning and the 'ring of fire' - ooooo!
Anyway managed to get him out with a bit of a tear, had to have some stitches, but they let me home last night - thank goodness as we were both fit and healthy
He is absolutely gorgeous and HUGE! slept last night from 10pm - 5.30am this morning!!! I am sure that is a one off though and I will soon discover reality!
Congrats to everyone else who's popped as well XXX
