Hey girls.
Well baby boy arrived on Thursday afternoon at 4pm via a water birth. It was a quick 2 1/2 hour labour which was intense, but really good as I only ended up needing a bit of gas at the end. I had no tears or grazes or anything so I was feeling pretty good afterwards. We came home yesterday and so far things are going good. He seems to be feeding all the time, but hopefully that will settle down now my milk is starting to come in. He was 8pd 3oz and his name is Samuel and we love him to bits already  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
