ooooh.... I *think* I might be in labour!

[Miaou]

But if I am it's probably going to be very slow!

Having got to sleep at 12.30am (ish) last night I woke up at 2.30 and have been up ever since! I think I might have been woken up by a contraction.

Anyway, next one wasn't until 3.45am, then they came at half hourly intervals until about 7am, but haven't had any since... however I am feeling a great deal of pressure in my pelvic area.... here's hoping!

He is so very handsome!! Congratulations

Congratulations ! He is lovely.

(Can't imagine having to go on a ferry whilst in labour !)

Beautiful! Congratulations.

Congratulations he's so beautiful. Certainly an arrival to remember.

Oh he is a beautiful baby a big congrats to you both xxx

He is so cutie, congratulations. XXX

Oh wow! Have only just seen this!

Congratulations to all the Miaous, and welcome to the newest one, Calum Lewis Miaou - gorgeous name! (tho not entirely sure about the Miaou tbh )

So glad that all went well and he is absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to hearing from Miaou (and intrigued to know who Mr Miaou is ) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry couldn't post any further in work, he is an absolute dote.

You lucky lucky people.

How wonderful

We have a Callum too - so wonderful choice of name

Miauo he's absolutely gorgeous. Well done. Welcome Callum and congratulations to you all.
I've gone all silly just from looking at that photo.

Sorry Miaou, for spelling your name wrong. By the way, I know Fort William It's where all the Aberdonians used to go on holiday.

He's gorgeous, just perfect. Lovely name too. Congratulations to you all (including Calum - sounds like he knows how to keep the audience waiting and then make an ENTRANCE!)

OOOOOOH seeing a photo like that really isn't good for me in my current state of broodiness.

He's absolutley scrumptious!

aaawww miaou...well done hunny

Ahh he is gorgeous, big congrats to you all

I've been following your thread with interest and i'm glad your little bundle of joy has finaaly put in an appearance. Congratulations to you all.

I rarely say this (I think all newborns look the same, even mine ), but that is one very cute sprog

I though the Belford was on its last legs?

Awwwwwww goes all broody and sniffly well done Miaou!

Congratulations Miaou - he is absolutely gorgeous . Well done to you!
You must be absolutely exhausted but i bet its all been worth it x

congratulations miaou!! sorry you had such a long wait, but you are the first 'official' august baby, ben and i just couldn't wait

Hello everyone, this is Miaou back home again! Thank you so much for all your kind messages. Mr Miaou read a lot of them out to me whilst I was in hospital last night . What a meanie he was though, keeping you all in suspense !

Calum is gorgeous (of course), eating and sleeping well. The dds are thrilled with him and argue over who gets to cuddle him!

Waterbirth was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone about to give birth!
