Our beautiful girl has arrived!!!!!

Well, she kept us waiting ten days past her due date, perhaps because she's a girl who knows all about the importance of being fashionably late, but earlier this week our second daughter arrived in this world in a straightforward delivery at the local hospital. Husband and I euphoric at her safe arrival. Our girl lies contentedly in her Moses basket at the foot of the bed as I type, wrapped in the blanket I knitted her. Beanie proving a loving and supportive older sister, who lavishes kisses on her sibling. Thanks to all who left comments on my previous posting. You might not realise this, but your kind words helped keep me going through the last weeks of pregnancy.

Mother at Large

Welcome to this site. It's based on my personal experiences of becoming a mother a little later in life. If, like me, you waited a while to have children you're in good company. More and more of us are waiting until our late 30s or even 40s to become parents. Some might even say we're fashionably late.
