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.

awwwwww bless, are you bf?? My lots are ok, they have had a lovely day in the garden today, lots of fresh air and got rid of their energy, so they are all sleeping....... Packing has come to a standstill atm, just because I have no room to store the boxes, I have lots to get rid off before I can pack more. Have ordered DD1's new bed, and a wardrobe, drawers and bedside cupboard for DS's room. Don't know where I am going to put them till we move, but I can't resist a bargain.....

Champs, yes the kids are loving it, theya re in the garden again today, jumping on the trampoline, even DS who never goes outside normally. We are having a BBQ this week with lots of family coming to help us celebrate!! It appears that AM's parents have gone on holiday!!
DD1's bed is being delivered tomorrow!!
I sorted out 3 boxes today that were on the shelves on the landing and ended up with 1 black bag of rubbish, one bag for chartity and one box left. I also got spanked on the head when a toy horse fell on my head.......

Congratulations and well done

Hiya
Sorry long time no speak - we are fine thanks and glad you are ok!!

champs · 01/09/2005 13:35

ty whizzz!!

hi biglips, card making is very addictive isn't it?
baby was a surprise, kind of knew he was a he but wanted a girl. can't believe there was no disapointment when m/w said he was a boy, i loved him instantly. i did think i may be disapointed but i was just so overjoyed to have him here, fingers toes and health in tact.... starting to ramble i know, but i have heard of so many sad stories that makes me appreciate him more iykwim.

jpedwards76.

thanks BunnyBoo
