Family upgrade succeeds

It really is a girl!



Born 11 minutes past 5, after full waters broken manually at 12 midday. Actual labour, from 3cm dilated, only 2 hours!

Baby Tinsel, perhaps Lillibeth or Lily-Beth or Lily or Libby or Elizabeth, weighed in at 7lb 5.4 oz (my guess was 7lb 6, and I’m claiming bragger’s rights).

Both mum and daughter are well, but kept in overnight because of long time between first waters and birth (2 days). No problems anticipated.

Ward is very strict about visitors so hang fire, but Sue should be home tomorrow night. Do visit from Friday onwards.

Our midwife was Fiona and she was the very epitome of professionalism in the caring professions. Well done NHS!
