PostingOur 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.

Congratulations - what wonderful news and how super to have her and you safely and well back home. Well done to you - hope you feel very very proud of yourself and your body. Great that her big sister is coping so well with the news too-what a star! Hope you are getting lots of help and lots of rest. Thanks for posting-sounds a bit obsessive but I had been wondering about news all last week and lept checking!

Yaaaaay!! The last couple of times I checked your blog (and this involves public libraries...) the site wouldn't connect, so I have been living in suspense! Congratulations to you and Va-vay. I'm so very pleased for you (as is half the blogosphere).



Don't forget to take care of yourself as well as the new arrival, and grab sleep whenever you can.

Hurrah and well done you! Congratulations to you all, what great news. There's been lots of crossed fingers and good thoughts winging their way to you all while the blogosphere waited for news....and lots of little blog-checks just in case I missed it! Thank you for taking the time to let us all know :-)



What a lovely family for another little person to join. Hope you are getting bits of rest when you can and well done again.

Congratulations on you for doing all the hard work! To your husband (for all the hand holding), to Beanie (for being a loving big sis) and to the new one (for turning up so well. Looking forward to your Edinburgh talk (providing you are still going ahead with it...am amazed you have put yourself down for it so soon). I could barely fall out of bed by then but I am sure you are much more together and energised than I am!! Congrats again. Hadriana x

Hi Helen, delayed congratulations as we've only just returned from being away. Lovely news, so pleased to hear you're all home safe and sound and our very warmest congratulations to you all. I hope you're managing to get some rest too, and that Beanie is still enjoying being a big sister. She sounds so sweet with your new baby! All the best, Catherine
