I'm having a baby today - AHHHHHH.

Well, I'm being induced today. So I could have her today, or tomorrow. Or 3 days time. I know how long the induction process can take 😅

Been awake since 5:30. Excited. Nervous. Feeling both completely prepared and also unprepared. Hoping being induced will be so much quicker this time and clinging to the small bit of hope I have that maybe my contractions will start fairly naturally (from just the prostaglandin) and I don't have to be attached to the god awful oxy drip 😢

Thank you!!

I'm very achy and tired but so happy😁

Her name is Amelia Jane, she weighed 8lb 4oz so a perfect weight!

Older two are 5 and 15 months, so lovely ages😍 cant wait for them to come home today and meet their baby sister! My eldest is brilliant and a great help already so I know she's gonna be amazing. Nervous about our boisterous 15 month old, especially when she realises she has to share dad 🥺😂 x
