Dearest Russell Family,
Yes, we did it!! Oliver arrived at 1:49pm on Easter Sunday weighing in at a respectable 8.9 pounds after a 3hrs 50min labour from start to finish :o)
So much for the 11/12 pound wopper that the midwife thought I was having.
The arrival was a bit dramatic as we had to get the ambulance to come and get me as we couldn't get the car out of our road with all the snow. My labour was very quick so we ended up going to the Lister as if we went to Cambridge I would have been giving birth at the local petrol station.
Due to this being a public forum I will not go in to any more detail of the whole birth thing but suffice to say I will NEVER be doing that again. More importantly everyone is fine and we are all back home feeling a bit spaced out and tired!!
Love to you all.
Kate xxxx
