Nimme's baby has arrived bang on time

Baby Josephine arrived on Sunday at 3.40am weghing 8lb 5oz with a full head of fluffy brown hair and a gorgeous little mouth.

Perhaps because it was second time around but really couldn't have wished for a better birth. Contractions started at 8pm Saturday - I was enjoying a glass of wine so decided to have another! Went to hospital at 10pm, had epidural at 11pm - baby by 3.40am.

Too strong contractions so decided not to have enema despite my prudishness - in fact didn't really care at all. In fact complete mess - poo, blood, water but midwife and midwife student were lovely and pro throughout. All staff I came into contact with were very nice - recommend Kingston.
Saw her come out using mirror - that was amazing.

DH and DD picked us up yesterday lunch time and we were all back home by 2pm - lovely.

She is a real sucking baby so DH off out to get nipple cream today - can't wait for actual milk to come.
