Yay!

All is well here. Sammy is sleeping fairly well at night (3 hours at a time) and Charley has been such a good boy. Having Granny Al here as Charley's playmate is the best present ever. I'll be sad to send her home tomorrow, but happy to have her back at the start of next week when Chris goes away for work.

Here are a few photos (thanks to Cheryl) from the big day. I won't post shots from the actual c-section though. I find them fascinating, but I understand that not everyone finds surgery photos appropriate.

Me and my private nurse. Cheryl! I love all 157 shots and the movies. You're the best.
Last look at the huge belly:

Nanna and Aunty Melissa are just happy enough!

A happy, happy mum: (please note that the lovely headgear they provided is not supposed to be a beanie. It's actually supposed to cover the ears and forehead).
This photo says everything you need to know about Grampy/Dodo/John. This photo is posted especially for the rellys in Wales. You know this look well (joy through tears).
Happy Granny:
Sammy a few seconds old. Feisty!

Now it's just Poppa J who needs to meet his grandchild (of the grandparents) and he's coming tomorrow for a quick visit.

Thanks for all the nice notes and posts everyone. We're over the moon!
