A belated we're HOME with pics!

Am a bit late in posting this as been home since Saturday but my MIL has only just left today and she has been a hindrance to my hitching (not to mention the TWO children I now have!).

Will post full birth story in due course, but am delighted to be home with my gorgeous baby girl, who despite thinking she had the gestation period of an elephant, being born at 40+18, in fact only weighed 7lb 15oz and is a sweetie.  We've called her Orla Evelyn.   Abigail is a very proud big sister. Am recovering well from the c-section and am OK about not getting my VBAC as after 4 hours stuck at 9cm with a premature pushing urge, was rather grateful for the spinal and the "easy" way out!

Thanks to all those who posted congratulations (and sympathy for my 18 days overdueness!) x 

Aww, you have two beautiful girls there

Many congratulations

So gorgeous!  She doesn't look 18 days late to me!

She looks like she was worth the looong wait!

She is gorgeous, as is her big sister.

Congrats again!

Congratulations & welcome home. You have 2 very beautiful girls.

You beat my 40+17 by a whole day, much MUCH respect!  And she is totally gorgeous, love the photo with her proud big sister too.  Congratulations! x

Well done Sootica, you may cook them longer than most but you certainly do a good job of making beautiful babies! Congratulations and welcome to Orla (love the name)
