I have potassium problems as well, hypokalaemia. Mine went screwy when my thyroid messed up after my oldest daughter was born, never been right since. Beans, peas and green leafy veggies are good for potassium as well. And add tomato to salads/sandwiches that gives something like 300mg...

Because I don't trust my husband not to break the new baby. Not that I'd go out and leave her yet but still. He however has gone out and left me with the dragon mil.

They x-ray them. We flew back to Ireland about two years ago and had two bags full of screws and three sets of studs for horse shoes in our luggage. The check in girl took our cases on the conveyor belt thing and off we went. A while later our names were being called over the tannoy asking us...

I'll be having a nervous breakdown this weekend. The MIL is coming to stay and interfere with my family and poke and prod and pick up the new baby every ten minutes. Happy, happy, joy, joy. And on Sunday everyone is off to the football leaving me with the MIL and baby alone. *sigh*

I was here at 4am ish because my five day old baby who doesn't know what day and night is yet.

Thanks everyone :-) Laura - I LOVE Grace but it doesn't sound good with our surname :/ No name yet, I have a short list of good names and Paddy keeps saying no on them and suggesting awful names. The Pink Princess is fine, I just wanted to pop on and say thanks for the well wishes and...

I assume she is feeling OK because she has been barking orders at me all day long and dictating the household from our bed. She's fine, just tired but glad the labour is over. BoF - We are open to sensible name suggestions. We were going to call her Imogen if she was a girl but that thing in...

Finally a photo. She is still nameless and could well be for a while. Thanks again for all the well wishes. Paddy

Nah, green is so last year. Paddy

Hungry! She has done nothing but eat all day long. But mum and baby are wonderful, thanks for asking. Trying to find the card reader to post a piccy. Paddy

Thanks everyone. No problem with giving you the exclusive first pic and I will as soon as I find a card reader and can upload. And then go wet the baby's head ;)

Because I can't think of one good reason to move there. City/town living is for schmucks ;)

Baby is a beautiful girl, she weighed in at 3200 grams (about seven pounds) and 50 centimetres (19 inches). The midwife wasn't really late, well obviously she missed the birth but we called her at about midday and she said call me when the waters break/pain gets worse etc, which happened at...

Baby arrived at 1.25pm, a whole 45 minutes before the midwife did. I can add delivering a baby to my list of talents now. Mum and baby are fine and sleeping now. Callum and Francesca are over the moon. Thanks for the well wishes, I know Sinéad appreciates them as well as me. Paddy

Exactly, I'm doing all the running around. She moves from the sofa to the birth pool to the bed and back again. ;-) No baby yet we're going for a long walk this morning, then see what the midwife says. Mrs S is wiped out and I think if nothing happens today the midwife will want her to go to...

Nothing, she's in a lot more pain and contracting much more often so we're getting closer I think. This is the longest labour for us yet, 44 hours so far. Our older three kids were all born quickly but this one is taking their sweet time in arriving. Paddy

Thanks. Nothing yet. She's ate a curry and a bunch of pineapple this evening so hopefully by morning it will all be over. There are only so many cups of tea and phone calls a man can make in one day. Paddy

sezer is on bail for alleged rape, not sure about Bonnie. Paddy.

We were going to call her if she's a girl Aurora and use the nickname Rory but Mrs Starry nixed that because I suggested it. Niamh is out because every second girl in our family is called it. Our surname ends in a -on sounds so Rhiannon is out as well! Baby be it boy or girl is nameless right...

Well, half time and 4.45pm have been and gone and baby has not yet shown his/her face. Think things are progressing now though, she is certainly panting and moaning more than she has been. Paddy
