Amazing story Congratulations! xx

wow, huge congratulations, what a fantastic experience. so glad it all went well. how is Ruby enjoying being a big sister? xx

She's been lovely with her. she's been singing to her and when Scarlett crying in the car earlier (had to go and buy smaller clothes she's really little, only 3oz lighter than Ruby was at birth but so much more compact!) Ruby was chatting away to her and said ' i try to make her stop crying mummy'. I think it will be tough at first when I don't have the luxury of mum and / or OH being around, but we'll get there.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments everyone, it was a bit of an experience to say the least!

WOW! What an amazing story... how long was the labour in total?

Congratulations xx

Thanks! About 4 hours total i think, but only the last 20 minutes the contractions were actually painful, i.e i had to concentrate on breathing through them. pushing was 5 mins i reckon.
