Well done, Beth!
I know I'm well behind on blog entries, but I thought I'd write a quicky to say well done to Beth on the birth of her third surrogate baby - Emily - who arrived at 8.35pm today, and weighed 7lb 5 and a half ounces.
Both Beth and the little'un are doing very well, and the parents - who thankfully made it down in time for this one! - are delighted and humbled (as am I.. Beth's a remarkable woman).
It was our first 'home birth' - something Beth had wanted for both of ours, but was unable to have because of complications - and a real family occasion, with twelve of us in the house at one point! The midwives were lovely, and it's a great relief to me to know that all's well, after months and months of waiting.
More soon, I hope - I'm working a nightshift tomorrow, which is fortuitous, since it means I can do the school run, so with any luck, and a bit of peace and quiet, I may be able to catch up with all the other things that have been going on.
