short story: it's a boy!!

long story: (typing one handed whilst feeding baby so pls excuse typo's and no caps)

stayed at home for as long as i could to make sure was really labour. got unbearable at about 6ish so we headed off, pains were coming every three mins and i had to really try and breathe them out.

got to hosp at 6:45 (dh must of had his foot down) and walked to labour ward while dh parked car. room was being cleaned so sat in corridor. got a contraction that took me over the edge and started crying, knew that meant baby would soon be here, m/w told cleaner to hurry up, another noist contraction later and she told her to put sheet on bed and told me to come in room.

felt pushing feeling and m/w examined me, 6cms!! got some g&a and felt loopy but kept telling myself i was in control, dh arrived but i didnt want ds2 to sdd me like that he went outside to wait for my cuz to look after him.

2 mad contractions later and i could feel the head. m/ww broke my waters and there was meconium in it, she sent for pead to come. "the baby's coming!" i said. "i'm ready" she said i pushed and she told me to pant, then she said i could push and i did and out came baby!! at 7:17!! poor dh didn't get back in room in time and cuzz missed it by mins!!

baby was fine, i decided to bleed heavily, 2 injections and a drip later, and all was well....

at home now, afterpains bad but other than that am well.

Still can't believe he's finally here, he's so small but yet big enuff for me to ponder the amazing way our bodies work!!

ds1 is on his way home and will see his little bro for the first time, he's very excited and sounds so grown up.
