whoever said 2nd labours are easier was lying!
Charlie William was born on Monday 22nd Jan weighing 8lb 15oz. It was a very long drawn out labour (horrible actually) but got there in the end!

Will post more when less hectic.

It gladdens my heart at the end of a long day to hear of yet another happy mummy with her newborn! Very best wishes to you both.

8lb 15oz - so he wasn't HUGE after all!

Hi Katie. Congratulations. Sorry it was drawn out. My second was pretty awful too.

Welcome Charlie.

Take time to recover KR. x

thanks all

NorksBride - yes I know - there was me fretting he was going to be over 10lbs (with DS being 9lb 13oz) and he actually seems quite titchy in comparision!

Had forgotten what hard work newborns are. Not helped by my natural tendancy towards being a control freak!
