Dh delivered our son (ds2) this morning, the paramedic arrived 30secs after he was born! We were supposed to be having a hospital birth but it all went a bit quicker than expected Grin

Wow congratulations. This happened to me too, except we had to wait 20 mins holding the baby before anyone turned up! The paramedics had been sat in rush hour traffic when our little girl arrived. I couldn't believe how everyone fussed around my husband telling him what a great job HE had done delivering the baby!! Grin

Great story to tell your DC when growing up.

Cannot believe this was a year ago today. Just had to have a read to relive the day!

Happy birthday to my amazing DS2, the cheekiest, smileyest, clingiest, bounciest, most adorable baby there is.
