    Hi everyone, thank you for the wonderful comments. I had Alex James on his due date Monday 3/10/11 at 21:34 and he weighed a whopping 10lb! We came home on Tuesday afternoon but DH had to return to work on Wednesday so it's been a bit manic. Alex is wonderful, feeding brilliantly and sometimes sleeping for 3 hour stretches which is wonderful.

    I'm not sure how to post a pic but they are on my facebook for those of you on there.

    Will be back soon xxxxxxxxxx
