brief update

Thanks so much for all your thoughts! i am typing this one-handed as baby A nurses. I really will post the full story soon as it was quite the experience. we've had loads of visitors but hopefully that will calm now the weekend is over and we'll have some time.

All i can say is those braxton-hicks prelabour contractions did their work as i was ten centimetres dilated by the time the midwife/doula arrived friday a.m. no one was more surprised than moi... the midwives were all, 'are you sure this is your FIRST baby?'

i'm doing great - no tearing at all, so just a little tender. hormones are definitely crashing down so ive had a pms-like headache all day, but i think that will fade soon.

more soon, i promise!
