I am very pleased to announce the arrival of our little girl - Carys Faith who was born 3wks and 2 days early yesterday afternoon.

After all the worry about her being breach, she wasn't after all and was born yesterday normally after a long labour (whoever said that labours are supposedly easier by no. 3 was a liar ).

I was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night after a bleed. DH stayed the night as I was having niggling but painful contractions - got examined at 6am yesterday morning which showed absolutely zilch progress. I was gutted after 12 hours of fairly uncomfortable contractions. I decided to get into the bath after the exam at 6am and this kickstarted things - she was born at 2pm and it hurt like hell. Carys is a good weight 7lbs10 and 51 cms and is feeding well, we'll be going home tomorrow to her delighted daddy and brothers.

CONGRATS! I think that odd-number labours are supposed to be difficult... so next time will be easier ;)

Many many congrats - hope your bits are ok!
