Well he's here! all 8lb 14oz of his amazing snuggly cuter little body!!

Labour absolutely not what I wanted so here goes.....

Waters went Tues so was told would have to have him by 7:40pm saterday the latests. Contractions started Thursday evening getting worse by 3am fri morning lasting over a min, 4-7 mins apart. Went hospital examined was 4cm!

Over the moon went home and pain got worse so trotted back to hosp, only to find i had not dilated anymore! 5pm they sent me to main hosp for the synto drip to make contractions help me dilate!

Stuck on the bed with monitors on bump and drip in so could not move and between 7-11pm i was ready to push!

Got through with gas and air only although asked for epidural as pain had got so bad so fast. Every time that door went I was asking is it the epi man!? He was stuck in theatre so they said may have to do ventouse! I told them fine suck him out will I have to push I was shattered! Poor DH T shirt being dragged of hi with every contraction. I needed to push and wow what an urge that is! I think I peed yself and kept telling the idwife omg i peed myself lol she kept sayng its fine dont worry.

When I was pushing I was adamant I was doing a poo and was mortified! DH told me nope I didnt poo lol

They placed him straight on me asking if he was prem as despite his size he was covered in vernix and looked like he had been dipped in a pot of paint. Still dint stop me kissing him though!

DH was amazing considering e was not sure if he could even be there let alone watch. I had an episiotomy and have now been left with piles and pain! urgh thats the worst bit I wanna grab my son when he needs me not be delicate which way I move!

So thats it im in love he is perfect in every way and changing every day! Breastfeeding soo well like he has always been doing it (well i suppose he has!) milk is now properly in after 3 days and my boobs seem to leak like a tap!

Sad part about it all was william was born 23rd Jan 12:08am we bought him home sunday and the dog was very ill through the first ight fitting. He was fitting through the night and we took him to vet yesterday. He was put to sleep so we are in love with our boys but feeling the pain of losing our boxer dog rest in peace wilson! xx
