Introducing....

SHE'S HERE!!!


For those needing such information...
Miss Piggy was born at 3:45pm this afternoon after 3 hours of established labour at home - waterbirth in the bath...
No other way to do it as far as I am concerned!
(Birth pool didn't happen as our hot water cylinder would not have coped!)


Weight: 3.82kg/8 lb 4 oz
Height: 52cm
Head Circumference: 35.5cm

Highlights:





Look at that proud big brother smile...

It is amazing how emotional I felt introducing her to her brothers.



Intensely interested!!!

But only so far as to say:

...now my mommy can carry me again!
Poor Froggy... I missed carrying you too my precious boy!

Attempted to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little star to her, but stopped halfway and informed me he had forgotten the words!

 I imagine she looks much like any other newborn to anyone else, but to me she is beautiful...

Glad to have had the joyous news to share...

I can bend over again!

    :) Thanks ladies! We REALLY plan to ensure she is our last, so we're enjoying every minute knowing we won't get this again...
