Due in June 2007!

Hello

We home now

As Glow told you all our wee boy arrived yesterday morning.

I had the S&S on Fri afternoon, few niggles Fri night... woke at 1am with pains I couldn't sleep thru. Not wanting to get excited & go into the Annex to early I watched the rest of the America's Cup race then had a shower, jeepers that made everything a whole lot more intense I woke DP at about 3.30am, rang DD's dad to come get her & rang best friend/birthing helper told her she should come round soon!

Poor DD woke at about 4am (I guessing with all the noise ) came out to the lounge, put a hand on my arm & said 'it's ok Mummy'!! Aww I nearly cried She was whisked away by her dad.

DP rang MW at approx 4.10am & said we were on our way to the Annex, apparently my contractions were about 2 mins apart! I hardly remember the car ride!!

We got to the Annex at 4.15am where I was promptly put on a bed & given my BEST FRIEND GAS!!!!!!! MW arrived at about 4.45ish & told me baby would be here by sunrise.. I said when's that?? She said a couple of hours

I was kneeling over the back of the bed but MW couldn't find babies heartbeat & when she finally did it was very slow. I was quickly (as physically possible!) turned over & suddenly wanted to push.. 8 pushes later his head was out, with the cord around his neck... 1 more push and our beautiful boy was born at 6am & plonked on my tummy but very blue & very floppy so I got a quick cuddle while they clamped & cut the cord. He was then put on the resuscitation table & given oxygen for 2 mins. After that he was all good He weighed in at 9lb!!!

So much for not wanting to get to the Annex to quickly!! Nearly not quick enough

We had quite a good night considering Delivery Suite & Post Natal wards were all FULL... we got the last bed in the place!!

Now we're home & I feel like I've been away for weeks!!

Congratulations to the other new mummies Wonder how Miss is getting on?? Best of Luck xx

Glow, you & Miss will always be June Mummies

Here's a pic of my sweet boy...

Thanks Monique! How you getting on? How's that healthy boy of yours doing? How's Haleigh at being a big sister??

Minardi is soo lovely She just loves her brother, she came to the Annex yesterday for a visit & didn't want to leave, poor cherub She's with her dad for a couple of days while we settle in. She's on school holidays now so she's got heaps of time to spend with him

Thanks Glow

Looking at the other side of your 'Bus Driver' comment..... I really have to say that you've been a wonderful & an extremely entertaining Bus Driver for the June Mummies... Thank you
