Our baby girl arrived!

What a day / night / morning!! I never knew you could feel so many emotions in the space of 19 hours! Yes, that is right... 19 hour labour! Although it didn't really feel THAT long and I am sure women go into labour much longer than that! Nothing can really prepare you for childbirth. You can have all these expectations of what it will be like and then you just realise you have no idea! I didn't care how they got her out I just didn't want a C-Section! And they didn't need to give me one... phew!

Laela was born @ 9:12am on Friday, 18th September 2009 weighing 8.8 pound and 53cm long.

Being a Mum is the best thing! Very rewarding! There are some days that are harder than others but all in all it is pretty darn cool! x
