Welcome baby Joel!

Well today baby Joel Simeon arrived!

Had quick labour at home - managed fine until waters broken then baby came straight away! Very quickly!


It was great to have baby at home - very relaxed and great to have family and all comforts nearby. I may have even been spotted facebooking at 8cm dilated


Baby doing really well! He looks a lot like Daniel, but of course larger as Daniel was born at 32 weeks / 7 months. 52cm long and approx 3.5kg (around 7 1/2lb)
