well she’s had it and what a job it was to. she started her contractions sunday at 10ish on monday morning i phoned the hospital and they said she had a bad night so at 730am they had given her petehdeen so she could sleep so i went up at 10.30 am monday and at lunch she was examined and she was 1cm dilated and she had epidural so she could hardley feel the contractions anyway they said baby should make an apperance about midnight 
she was examined at 18.30 and we were told that she was fully dilated at 10cm so they would start at 19.00.
they started at 7 on the dot and baby louise was born at 19.50 weighing a whopping 9LB 14OZ.
louise’s head was all squashed and brusied to start with but after an hour she was ok the midwifes said that this was normal as she was pushed about on the way out.
this is clare yesterday when admitted very nervous and scared.
me the happy father
and baby louise glad to be out.
