    Woohoo :j Congratulations jo on your new daughter! :T

    I'm so pleased to here that you are all safe and well. You should be really proud of yourself for knowing your own mind and sticking to what you wanted until the moment when you knew what the correct decision was for you and your baby.

    Enjoy her, won't you, and let us have a peek when you're ready! ;)

    Hey,
    I've been a lurker for a while - prefer to 'listen' rather than 'talk' (if you know what I mean), however... I just wanted to say WELL DONE and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm so pleased for you and your family Jo.

    Congrats!

    Thanks again guys :T

    Hope you don't all mind if I don't divulage the name (just a bit wary of giving away personal details) but bundle of joy #2 weighed 8lb 11oz after 43 weeks, DD #1 was 8lb 5oz at 41 weeks so not too much difference.

    OH indulged in a glass of wine or two and I did indeed have a white wine spritzer to celebrate - only a spritzer though as don't want baby to feel the effects!

    Been debating (briefly!) the possibility of a third - would love a boy... Though not sure what my chances are for a lengthier gestation - any bets on 44 weeks? ;)
