New arrival on the Costa

Little one No.2 arrived on Sunday right on time and very quickly and in the end without an epidural! Unfortunately I did have to have an episiotomy which seems to be quite a standard procedure here in Spain which is a bit of a shame as it seems to take ages to heal. This time round the staff at the hospital were more helpful with the breastfeeding - I didn´t manage it first time round which was a real shame but this time it appears to be going well (apart from the mega sore nipples!!!)

Baby Costa is actually Matthew! He is a little prawn - only 2kg 814grms! (sorry completely forgotten the weights in pounds and ounces) Just as well seeing as I am only 4ft11! (However I do remember my height in ft!) He is a perfect little carbon copy of his older brother!

Congratulations - and have to say a lovely name (my ds2 is a Matthew). Hope the cut heals well for you and great news re the breast-feeding.

Now read your second message - I think Matthew was about 6lb 3oz (my DS was 6lb 1oz so I think small babies are lovely )
