thank you so much, everyone! it was an amazing, incredible experience! after 27 hours of truly hard labour, we have all had a very long sleep, including mother and baby. Rosie is truly beautiful, like a little elf with a cap of dark hair and beautifil big dark blue eyes! (may go brown like her father's!). she is now feeding well and is a little delight!

poor chongo, with hands like that, every woman would want you.

Kevin, my father used to sing that song! thanks so much, I've been trying to remember the words, and will now be able to sing the song to her! and yesterday, when she was just 20 mins old, I held her and sang quietly to her for an hour while her mother was recovering.
I am going to the hospital now!
