Title: New Arrival
Post by: HappyHippy on April 30, 2009, 04:31:46 pm

Hello everybody,
Not at all smallholding related but I have to tell you all !!!  ;D  ;D  ;D
My little bundle arrived today at 2.20pm (right on time and with no complications), hubby stood the test and managed to deliver him with the help of the midwife.
He weighed 7lbs 8oz and 55cm (21.5 in) long, we're calling him Connor James and he's just gorgeous (obviously!)
I'll do my best to get a picture up asap.
Karen  :love:
Photo now on flickr - link below. I couldn't get it to load on this post, sorry

Looked at the photos, how cute, I love babies, I used to work for Social Services and one job was parental assessment, I sometimes wanted to take the babies home with me....I loved that job. By the way, you look very well.

Thanks Sandy, I feel okay considering I've had 6 hours sleep in the last 48 hours ! Ah, the forgotten pleasures of sleep deprivation  ;)

I know exactly what you mean - I have an adrenaline junkie 4 year old and a highly emotional 5 year old (both girls)  :o  :o  :o
Hoping 'my boy' does me proud and gives me an easy ride, though I think he'd really have to go some to beat Kaitlin - she's one of a kind for sure !

I had three girls, the first was very active and did not want much sleep, at 34 she still needs little sleep and has loads going on in her life, my other two, however need loads of sleep like me, it's all in the genes,  no matter what you do they either sleep loads of are awake loads..good luck!!!
