Great story, love the way you wrote it, like it was just another trip to the hospital to deliver another baby, no biggie!

Sounds like it all went really well. Hope you're a bit warmer now!!!

Well, it was #3 at the same hospital with all the same staff as the last one, and we'd just got the guided tour of the place, so we were pretty comfortable with the lay of the land. I suppose if you're going in not expecting anything horrendous to happen you're far less stressed too. The doc has been very much "yeah, whatever, you'll be fine" through the whole checkup process.

Funny thing is apparently they'd taken bets or something and were expecting me on that day (4 days post dates), the hospital was full but they'd reserved the private room (it has its own ensuite and is usually kept aside for new mums) for that night. Isn't that sweet

They get about 40-50 babies a year at this hospital.

Oh and forgot the stats.

36cm head, 3.46kg, 52cm long. The last one was 36cm, 3.49kg, 50cm long, both post dates. Such variety lol

I think we've settled on Theodore Mark as a name too
