And in response to the questions I usually get asked on imparting that news: nope, he wasn't a c-section, just a normal delivery. Nope, I didn't use any pain relief. No, not even gas and air.

There were some issues after his birth which led to him having a short spell in the RPA's high dependency unit. But that's all sorted and we're back at home now. :)

I would have offered you some if you were there for Butter Bean's birth!



What silly husband would say no to the offer?! Oh, that's right, I'm married to one!

When I had an epidural with my 1st I thought G&A was rubbish but on the 2nd when I only had G&A I realised just how fab it is!!
