Oh i cant believe i havent seen this earlier, but then again it was so nice to read it now! I have tears in my eyes and i think really that is one of the best birth stories i have ever read. Any shorter and you would not have done it justice. I am so happy that you had lovely care and that you made informed choices for you and your family! Congratulations to you and your DH. Eleanor is a lovely name!

Oh i wish i could give you a real life hug.

Hope you had a very merry christmas with your little girl yesterday...
