      Hi Fiona, warmest congratulations on the birth of your little guy.

      I had Robert on 4th January and, well words cannot express etc. etc. He’s amazing. My two daughters are besotted with him. Georgie just sits by his basket staring at him.

      I looked forward to him for four years and really thought the day would never come. I sometimes feel I don’t have the right to be this happy, had forgotten that you could be after some many years of tears and heartbreak.

      Congratulations to you again.

      Congratulations Tealights!!!!! That’s fantastic news, so glad he arrived safe and sound. I know what you mean about feeling like you don’t have the right to be that happy but you do and I’m so glad you are. It’s the best feeling in the world and the ultimate healing process – welcome to baby Robert and congrats to your whole family!
