    good morning all

    so baby bob started off with efficiency on their due date! No one was more surprised than me having sailed over by 18 days with my son. After a full day and night of labouring at home we came to hospital yesterday at 9am (on the bus, snaps for money saving ways?)
    and finally at 1.30am last night we met our new daughter. 7 pounds 15. So again much smaller than ds (he was 9lbs 10)

    i'm absolutely cream cracked but she is a wonderful addition to our family.

    Love to all

    bob
    congratulations and well done. Sending you virtual flowers
