SLF was born on 4 November. She weighed 3.4 kilos, is 50 cm long, and is very healthy.

She was born by VBAC after a quite short labour. Still quite long enough for me as the anaesthetist was not available until the point when I was in the middle of the transition.

She is a very pretty little girl, looks much like Pearl but with straight brown hair and a peachy complexion. I think she should have the on-line name of Ruby, so I have a pair of matching jewels:-)

I was so absorbed in holding her after the birth that I did not notice (and had to be told by the midwives) that I had a tear and stitches, that there were two cysts in the unusually large placenta (sent off for a biopsy), and that I had a haemorrhage.

Anyway, we are home now - and completely exhausted.

Oh, that's wonderful! (Not the bits about the haemorrhage, etc.) Congratulations!
