Re: Faster than a speeding bullet
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!

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!! 
(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

Re: Faster than a speeding bullet
Just to let you guys know (several of you already have the news my husband posted on my facebook account yesterday) but my baby girl finally arrived yesterday! 8 days early, weighing a corking 9 pounds even. (more or less the same weight as the previous two!)
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!
