Newest UK-Yankee!!
« on: March 19, 2019, 01:56:29 PM »
Eliza arrived after 3 and a half days of labour last Wednesday. I haven't quite emerged from under my rock yet!!

She's doing really really well, but I've still got aways to go with a few physical hurdles that time and a skilled physio and osteopath should be able to overcome!!

Not the birth I expected, and it got a bit scary right at the end as more and more people piled into the room, but now that she's here safe and sound, I wouldn't have that experience any other way!!!
