Hello,

Just to let you know that baby Mirage arrived 12 days early,on Saturday morning,weighing 6lbs 12.5oz.Waters went at 3.30am,labour started at 3.55,got to hospital at 4.10am to find I was already 8cm dilated & baby came out after 3 pushes at 5.24am.I thought it would be quick but was totally shocked to only be in labour for an hour & a half.

I didn't have time for the antibiotics to do any good,so we had to stay in for 24 hours to make sure she was ok,but she is fine & feeding like a trouper.Her name is Jessica Alice & she looks identical to her big sister,when she was born,with loads of dark hair & chubby cheeks,& we are all besotted!
