Hi Lyn, Very best wishes to all of you and congratulations - you were so ready last time I spoke to you, how lovely to hear about your beautiful birth and how happy you are. Pinky ----- Original Message ----- From: Lyn Cottee To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 12:49 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] new baby Dear List,   I�d like to announce the birth of my baby daughter, Alexandra (Sascha) Arwen at 00:02 August 13 at the Birth Centre in Moorabbin.  After an intense 4 hour labour, mostly in the water at the centre, I birthed her using a birthing stool with my mother and husband in attendance. She weighed 3620g, HC 37cm, length 49cm and is absolutely beautiful.   She took to the breast right away (and hasn�t moved off it since!) and the placenta was naturally birthed soon afterwards.   I�d like to thank the List for being a source of information and inspiration and a key factor in helping me to have the most natural, enjoyable birthing experience possible.   It is a travesty that the existence of the BC is even in question and now that I�m getting back to work I�ll be much more vocal in the campaign to keep it open.   Cheers,   Lyn Cottee
