The big event finally happened on Tuesday. Thanks for all your messages on my blog, email and through Tesso. They were all received, it not acknowledged, and got me through the last few days and then the labour itself.
Born at 2:13pm 23rd October weighing in at 8"9oz or just under 4kg. Billy came quickly into the world but not without some pain to his mother. Trust me...being fit does not help you in labour....it actually causes difficulties because all your stomach and pelvic floor muslces work against the contractions and not with them - or so the Obstetrician decided to inform me halfway through.
Billy is beautiful - yes I am very biased and his father and I are proud as punch of our new addition.

Now...thats it folks....back to a running blog and for me to start my training for Canberra.
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
