Gosh it feels as if i have been away forever from here!
Finally our little treasure was safely delivered on 1st November at 17.36...
She weighed a dainty 6lbs 12.5oz at 37 weeks and we've named her Grace Therese.
I was so relieved I just sobbed once she was born and we are completely smitten by her.
We had been in hospital for two weeks prior to the birth and stayed there for 5 days afterwards so it was extremely emotional finally leaving and the midwives were all so kind and caring. We are staying in touch with two of them at least and will visit too.
So far we have been resting at home- the children were/are so overjoyed and excited and love cuddling her at all times.
We won't go out until she is Baptised- this Sunday so are having a few quiet days and lots of visitors....
Hope you are all as well as can be,
Love,
Amanda
PS- I will update the blog with the birth details, LOL!

Hi Amanda,
It's lovely to hear that baby Grace is doing well, I'm sure you'll be fine when Mark goes back to work, you have plenty of willing little helpers!
Make sure you get lots of rest, you need to recover from the op.
Hope the baptism goes well on Sunday.

Hi,
Baby Grace is now 3 weeks old and completely adorable- I barely do anything other than gaze at her and hold her!
The Baptism went beautifully and we had a lovely Mass afterwards and then a party with lots of bubbly and wine...yummy!
I am still tired out but the scar is very neat and healing brilliantly and I rarely need pain relief any more.
Praying most fervently the RA keeps away...
Love,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
It's lovely to hear that you and baby Grace are doing so well.
Gosh, that 3 weeks seems to have gone quickly!
Glad the baptism went well and there was plenty of wine (just to wet the baby's head with of course).
Thinking of you and hoping the RA stays away for as long as possible.
Love, Doreen xx

Helo Amanda
I'm pleased to hear that the baptism went well. The last 3 weeks have gone quickly? It doesn't seem 2 minutes since you first announced you were expecting. Where has the time gone??
I hope and pray that you will be RA free.
Take care
Love
Maria x
