But, November last year brought a new little bag of spuds... I mean, bundle of joy into this world! Since I came here talking about being pregnant, I thought it only fair I'd tell you I'd given birth by now (otherwise it would have to be an elephant gestation period - yeouch!)

Contrary to what everyone thought, he turned out to be a boy and his name, as in the title, is Conor. Born on the 13th of November 2009 at 22:41 (pm, of course), in Antwerp after a whole day of labour and an emergency c-section!

His chart: http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=astro_2gw_01_conor.71215.9273.gif&res=100&va=&cid=u18fileFAx2H2-u1265226213

He didn't have to come out on the 4th of November after all!

Isn't it wonderful...and tiring!
I know what you mean about being a feeding machine.
I breastfed both my children but what a difference between my son (eldest) and daughter.
With my son it was like being attached to an industrial vacum cleaner that snorted and rattled till he was satisfied.
When I had my daughter and experienced her dainty little efforts I handed her to the nurse with a puzzled look and said
"I don't think this baby works"
