Baby!

First I gave birth to first draft of third novel, and now it's the baby!

I know tons of you have already come over to Boob Pencil and congratulated me (for which, many thanks), but for those that don't yet know...

Oscar Eric Sudbery was born on Sunday 13th July at 10:14pm and weighed 10 lb 2 oz (4.62 kg).

And I did it all by myself. Natural birth, one small tear, lots of yoga, second stage only 9 minutes long, no shoulder dystocia or other horror stories which medical personnel had been filling my head with (they were predicting that he would be over 11lb and might therefore have all sorts of complications).

Mind you, it took a while.

But anyway, am very pleased and proud.

Hurrah for babies!

I've been over to Boob Pencil, but it does no harm at all to say: well done you bloomin' clever woman. Congrats to the whole family!

Oh babies are wonderful!

He was predcited as well over 11lb, so 10lb 2oz seems small! But isn't really, I know.

He's very hungry!

Pics here.

Thanks all for lovely comments.

A very warm welcome to Oscar. You must be exhausted. Well done you!

Ooh, he's a big boy. My son was just under 7 lbs and getting him out here was no picnic, so you must be all in, but very happy indeed.

Warm welcome to the brand new Oscar.
