splodge and me at forty weeks

She is here.

And she is a girl.

She was born on Friday 21st September

at 39+6 gestation.

So she was a very good girl for not keeping us waiting.

She weighed in at a healthy 7lb 14oz

and she is absolutely perfect in every way.

I am feeling so proud of myself.

I have a beautiful little family

that I made (with a little help) and grew

and I just can't believe I got so lucky.

I'm also proud of myself for doing the labour thing again;

giving birth is hard and I definitely forgot in between times just how tough and painful it gets.

But I did it and it was all really okay

and what we got at the end makes up for all the bad stuff.

I am officially a mummy of two.

We are officially a family of four.

We are all totally in love

and couldn't be happier.

. . . feel free to go and vomit now, I don't mind!
