Bright amazing to hear from you (totally struggling to read thread now) been thinking of you. So wow, we had very different labours in the end. You're quite the hero sounds like a grueller! Ahh babies Rupert and Harrison could have some adventures together I bet, he's a belter!
Barnes blimey, I hope you are getting over the shock, I was talking to a lady that had had an hours active labour a couple of days ago she was a bit traumatised. 
Congratulations rustler what a beautiful, honest post you wrote.
Lullaby good luck! blueberry the same and evidently you did come and expertly babysit the ducklings as I had a total what the actual f moment when I got home, see picture. I forgot who else is on their way to mummyhood sorry best wishes.
FUC bless you all. Rasperry did you get round to doing your DP paternity leave daily gifts? Mine loves them and I think it really helped with me being in hospital a few days. Getting the gifts together was a good distraction.
We had our annual family walk yesterday, luckily very local to us this year. We managed to drop in on the eating part for a bit. Think it was all a bit much for Harrison, he's such a content little thing but he's inherited daddy's family wobble chin that starts at times of high emotion. His big eyes were wet and his chin going and I felt like I'd asked too much of him and let him down. I can see my boy is going to break my heart daily if he has a lovely sensitive side like his dad, which I hope he does. Only 18 more years before you can cover the wobble with a beard son!
