OUr baby boy arrived at 6.04am on Wednesday 24th October. Had a good home birth with waters breaking about 1 am, contractions starting straight away and gradualy getting closer and stronger till about 5am. Called the midwife who came within 5 mins. Good job because Edward arrived an hour kater. He weighed in at a whopping 8lb13oz and I did it all without pain relief or stitches! His ds whos 2 and a half is well impressed with his new baby brother and kisses him all the time

Dont mean to sound rude or anything, but was Edward born Tuesday 24th or Wednesday 25th! (my head was all over the place when ds2 was born, i didn't know the date, let alone day!)
