And he went POP!

Baby arrived 17 minutes past midnight this morning.

UK home births are meant to be attended by two midwives. But Baby thought differently. He was in a rush to arrive. Midwife One was a little delayed after she was phoned to attend the birth due to an iced up car... and then struggled to unpack her kit and get her gloves on in time. Midwife Two, who was bringing the requested pain relief, turned up half an hour after he 'popped'.

Amazingly Son and Daughter slept through the screaming.

And only afterwards did Midwife One admit that it was the first home birth she'd done. Don't think she'll forget it in a hurry.
