He's arrived!

Post by Lavender1 »

Hi everyone

Our beautiful baby boy Alfie arrived at 2.28am on 17th August. After an action packed but quick (about 4 hrs) labour, he's here safe and sound...Forceps delivery; Episiotomy for me; Clamp on his head to monitor heart beat, then bloods also taken while he was still inside - war wounds to prove it! Cord was wrapped around his neck 3 times. Bit hairy but none of that matters now. He is absolutely lovely and very laid back (so far!) Weighed 5lb 14oz but has put on nearly a pound during his first two weeks already!! Thank you so much everybody for all your support along the way - especially those oldest buddies of mine...you know who you are! Finding time to post is not quite as easy as it once was but I'll pop in again soon.

Lots of Love xxx
