You certainly like to take your time! A gap of 12 years, then 7 years - perhaps she's trying to tell you something? Like, "don't bring that bloody thing near me, I haven't forgotten the last time!"

Seriously, congratulations, and I hope he brings you the joy that my two brought (and continue to bring) to me.

Mine can't remember what she said in the delivery room. Thank heavens.

Well done mate.

I know exactly what she must be going through, and mine weren't even big babies. I was fortunate to have short labours the fastest being Joanne who arrived 2 hours 10 minutes from the start of the first contraction - had Bruce stopped at the red light at the top of the road, then she would have arrived in the front of the Discovery.

No it was one of those cunning plans to provide them with a built in babysitter.

Couldn't agree more.

Congratulations.

My Dad was 11 pounds odd. It could, perhaps, be more than coincidence that he is an only child...

Neither can I. I can remember having gas and air though and it made me feel sick. No pain relief either for three of them. Had to have an epidural with the second one as she turned round and decided she would prefer to arrive feet first.

I wonder why. Mine weighed between 11lb and 13lb when they were three months old.

Congrats.

I've got 4 too - Robert 17 (7lb 1oz), Natasha 13 (6lb 13oz), Melanie 11 (7lb

9oz) and Hayley 2 (8lb 10oz). Also got 3 step kids - Trish 21 and twins Richard and Rachael 14. As for the built in babysitters for the youngest? You must be joking - they're off out doing there own thing and then moan like hell when I mention that I would like a social life!! Seriously though I wouldn't have it any other way. SWMBO got off lightly - my poor cousin Helen had a baby boy 6 weeks ago ............... 11lb 2oz!! Her first one was 10 weeks early and only 1lb 12oz so everything she saved of Mathews isn't going to be any good!

Best wishes to you both,

Gaynor Tim and the clan. xxx

Its great when Bruce's oldest daughter has them for the weekend. She 31 and has them all at her house.

Hmmmm. I know the feeling. Sarah (21) was asked to look after the other two boys whislt we went to hospital. Yes OK was the reply, how much you going to pay me, and will you be any longer than two hours ? KIDS!

Joe (last one) took 49 minutes from onset of labour and water breaking to coming out. Matthew (newest) took 27 minutes - S*IT - bloody gald they had took her in to induce her - did not get that far, he decided he was coming on his own - like a bloody rocket. Just thankful waters did not go in new Touraeg. Funnily, i could not persuade her to bounce the 26 miles to hospital in the Defender...... Dave

The hospital is less than a mile from our house and by the time Bruce got to the lights I was in a right panic because the traffic was queing and I couldn't sit down. The midwife was waiying for me and she decided that they had time to get me inside. They booked me in a 9.05am and she had arrived at 9.10am. I have a friend who had the last two with no pains at all. In fact both of them ended up arriving while she sat on the toilet. Couldn't believe it when it happened the second time!
