Just to fill you in on the details... Tallulah was a footling breach and so had to be delivered by c-section anyway - we tried to turn her using reflexology, acupuncture and standing on my head as well as medical methods - ECV - none of which worked. So I was booked in for today, Friday 19th (39+4), for an elective.

Spent last weekend cleaning the house after final building works and I am not sure if scrubbing floors had anything to do with it but waters broke at 7.45am on Monday morning in a rather spectacular manner. Was told to go immediately to hospital and so went through York Monday morning rush hour in the back of the car with my bum in the air telling Tim to run red lights (I was having contractio
ons by this stage!) - he ignored me. Got to Hospital and all was fine with her so went in and had a c-section which I have to say was a wholly positive experience. Got home (finally) on Thursday evening and we are both doing well.

Now we are home and the real work begins.... but she is lovely and our hearts melt each time we look at her.
