thanks all. The name we are seeming to plump for so far is Lucy.

And strangely enough - all my three babies have been within an ounce or two of 9lbs so I am very consistent.

And yes - she was born at home!

Her?:confused: Think of the child! Safe and warm one minute, out into the cold brightness as though shot from a cannon the next...

Blimey...and massive congratulations!! :D:D:D

(I had my second child in less than 30 minutes with only one contraction, speedy births are a shock to the system)

Lucy is a lovely name too :)

She nearly ended up on the bedroom carpet as she literally shot out in one go - catching me and the midwives by surprise! All healthy and well, just tired!

pic to follow.

Congratulations but spare us the pic of the baby shooting out of you!:eek:

Congratulations! My wife had a baby a couple of month ago and she came out very fast at the end, which was good considering the 41 hours of labour before that. It was terribly painful all those hours, and I don't think she enjoyed it either...

Sounds like she never intended to be anything but a home birth! Congratulations and well done, she is beautiful.
