I have finally managed to log on to announce:

IT'S BLUE!

Our little prince decided to choose his own birthday, sending his mummy into labour two days before the elective CS (he baked until 39+1) and arrived a healthy 3.73 kg and 53 cm long.

I am still a bit tender from the emergency CS, but I am so happy to be home (at last) with our lovely little bundle.

As many of you know, the past two-plus years have been such a long and difficult journey. I am truly grateful to have found such much-needed support from so many wonderful women on BB.

I never gave up hope...
