Callum Elias born at home 1:30pm today. We haven't done stats yet but he's perfect!

I had a long night of prelabour and went into active labour around 11:30am. I felt so connected to the baby the whole time and kept telling him to come.
I'm thrilled my midwives and sister and DH were all present. The kids were perfect and stayed in the other room until it was all over (dd said she didn't want to 'distract me' god bless her).

I finally reached down and felt baby's head and face as he crowned and was the one to catch him - something I've never managed before.

He's fed well and is sleeping peacefully now.

I feel amazing and so blessed. I know the next few weeks are the toughest part of the journey for me.

At least I'm starting on the highest of highs. Love to all and a birth story to come soon I hope.
