Hello everyone,

Well after deciding my baby was fine where he was and could stay put another week he decided to make a very quick entrance to the world at 4 o clock this morning, in my living room :eek: never felt pain like it but soooo worth it, ambulance arrived 3-4 minutes later, midwife about 20 mins after, we were both checked over and everyone (but my mum-who had only come to take me to hospital she ended up catching the baby lol) left about 6ish. :T

Just wanted to say to your new baby son!

Sounds like a fab birth tho' maybe a little bit scary!!

Big to you and your family xxx

Well got my photomugs today and really pleased with them. Worked out at £6.67 each delivered from Snapfish, always good quality stuff from there

Just picked up one of Mum's big presents and ordered her last one from tesco(wine!!) today.

Need to buy a bottle of whisky and OH's main present then I'm all done!! (and under budget I think!!!)
