Lovely name, Bella!

I'm so glad I had the thank you letter for my m/w today, and I went out and got photos printed (immediately after the birth I could not have looked more overjoyed). She had her first ever c/s from a HB yesterday, so I think a pick me up was well in order. She said she's gone over and over the (very long) labour and tried absolutely everything. She consulted with the other m/ws and she'd tried everything they could suggest too. I really felt for her, so I hope my card at least goes some way to making her feel better.

Hannah was weighed today (8 days old) and came in, with just a nappy, at 3.1 kgs! So even accounting for the nappy she's put on about 250 gms already! I knew she was feeding well and gaining, but even I was surprised. Must be all the fabulous oxytocins around with her amazing birth. And I feel great today, even the residual muscle soreness in my seat is almost gone.
