Got a spare 5 minutes to quickly update you all!
So last week I had been debating whether or not to go to my DD's aunt's wedding. It was in Nottingham which is about a 2 hour drive from here. We took all our hospital bags, car seat and a travel moses basket, as my theory was that if we took it all, nothing would happen, if we don't, it will. How wrong was I, lol!
We went up on the Friday. We went out for a meal with the family. I had a couple of tightenings, didn't really think much of it as they always keep coming and going. We were staying over at DD's aunt's house, so we stayed up with her til late as she was a bit restless and we wanted to keep her company so she wasn't just staring at the ceiling all night. We went to bed about 1am, and I managed to get some sleep, kept waking up to go to the loo though. Then at 4am, I woke up with really bad back ache. It kept coming and going, which was funny in a way as earlier on that day, DP had been telling me about back labour that he had just been reading up on. So I tried to get comfortable in bed as usually when things kick off, if I rest up in bed, it dies away after a while. It didn't so 20 minutes later, I was running myself a bath thinking that will help sooth it. 5 minutes in the bath, pains were getting worse. There's me thinking holy crap lol.
I went downstairs so I wouldn't wake anyone, and called the local hospital to ask for advice. There's two hospitals in Nottingham and I happened to call the one furthest away from us, so she told me she would get the maternity ward to call me from the other hospital. I not so quickly got back upstairs and woke DP up shouting "get up, baby may be here within the hour". His face was a picture. DD's aunt came out of her room then and had said she had heard I was up and having a bath but didn't want to come disturb me. They then gathered up our clothes and stuff whilst the hospital rang me back and said for me to go in and go to triage. As we were trying to work out what to do, as DP is a learner, I was clearly in no state to drive, and DD was with us as well so her aunt couldn't take us, the pain got so much worse. DD's aunt called for an ambulance, the person on the phone told me to lie down on the living room floor with nothing on me, and kept asking DP to check if he could see a head. I remember I kept apologising to her as it was just typical I would go into labour on the morning of her wedding... I choose my moments!
What seemed like a lifetime later, ambulance turned up with G&A. I was trying my hardest not to shout or scream as I didn't want DD to wake up and come down. Hardest thing ever! Lol. They took us to the hospital and we arrived at 6:10am. We were taken to a room and was left alone (I don't remember this much lol). Poor DP was beside himself but I remember him being very strong for me. I ended up scratching the hell out of him as I had long nails still which I was going to cut off after the wedding lol. I vaguely remember hitting him on the chest as well... 
My waters broke whilst we were there, and it was terrible. It literally exploded and covered the midwife a little. I felt so terrible!! But Myles was born at 6:56am and thank goodness it was quick! He weighed in at 5lb 14oz. DP cut the umbilical cord, and had even looked when Myles was crowning which he had sworn adamant that he wouldn't do as he was worried it'd freak him out too much.
The midwives were great, really took care of us. They discharged us at about 1pm so we could make it to the wedding which was going to start at 2pm. We didn't rush there though as I wanted to shower and rest a little first, so DD's aunt had left her key hidden in her garden and so we were able to sort ourselves out. We turned up at the wedding at about 3:30ish and had a wonderful day. DD was a bridesmaid so I really wanted to see her and she was so excited to see her brother. Everyone thought I was nuts for turning up and kept saying I didn't look like I had just given birth that morning. It's amazing what a hot shower and plenty of makeup will do. Plus I was running on pure adrenaline I think. Plus we were fed some amazing food! I got the photographer to take a photo of us as well so I can't wait to see that.
We came home on the Sunday and just been trying to get into a good routine (if that's even possible!) I can't stop staring at him and just want to keep cuddling him!!
Hope everyone else is well and I love seeing all the new babies popping up!! Shall catch up with everyone else news properly soon :)
