Faith was born on Wednesday 19th January at 13.02 and weighed in at 9.7. She has blonde hair and slate grey eyes and looks 3 months old! I have been blessed with a good natured angel but feel sure I'll be needing a heart transplant soon as mine doesn't seem big enough for the joy that keeps swelling up when I look at her.

Those of you who have suffered in pregnancy, Lord knows I did, the afterpains of childbirth are nothing at all in comparison, I've had a C section and I feel the best I've felt in 5 months!

Having a C section is THE most terrifying thing I have ever experienced in my life but it will always be remembered for the beautiful baby I was handed afterwards. Norah Jones was playing in the background and I feel sure that every time I hear the song I will cry, even when she's 20!

Can't wait to have another...

Many many congratulations Arty Joe. As I said before, C-Sections were a breeze and yours can't have been that bad for you to be wanting another.

Very well done!
