FINALLY
Got my act together and added a photo.
Pia Lola arrived on Friday 13th at 11.05pm.
She arrived after a 3.5 hour labour, weighed 3.8kgs and looks just like her brother.
One of the most intense, primal, amazing things I have ever done - all natural without any drugs or intervention. I can't tell you how proud I am of my body.
Massive congratulations and huge, huge 'well dones'! And welcome to the world Pia Lola!

Did I mention that I think that 3.5 hrs is outrageous? I thought 9 hrs, my shorter labour, was incredibly efficient. You have put me to shame. Pia Lola is a great name. Wishing you and the family the very, very best of everything.
