Had a baby daughter born yesterday morning, she has a German mother, a French grandmother and will be travelling in an Italian car, a true European.

Expect me to be posting threads asking for advice.

WHAT!!! of the nappies

Thanks guys, piccy's to be sorted. Called her Catherine Isabelle and weighed in at 3.5kg. Sussed out the nappies I make a complete balls up so the missus takes over

Anyway, it was a home delivery, delivery and the midwives were fantastic and the missus is up and about as if nothing happened.

Oops, babies crying so have to kick the missus:devil:

Congratulations

Nice name choices too so congrats again, very classical names

Midwife delivery at home would suggest that there must be other children as they don't usually like to do that for the first

Home birth is scary, what if all that gunky stuff gets on the carpet :yuck:

Glad you like the names, we wanted something classical without being trendy middle class. As for the home birth it is Stef's second but that was a while ago and as we're both over 40, the pregnancy was treated as a risk by the hospital. It was the midwifes idea for the homebirth, nice chap, so laid back and made the missus feel so relaxed. He was absolutely superb and I can't praise him enough. Would recommend home birth for the 'Birth Partners' as well.

Congratulations!

Please pass best wishes on to Mrs french bean

congratulations

Your braver than me - babies scare me

When I had my daughter at 30, I was classed as an 'older' mum

Glad it all went ok.

Did you get to cut the cord?
