BABY ON THE WAY!!

Kyala · Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2007 10:49 am Post subject: BABY ON THE WAY!!

Hello my lovelies Smilie_PDT

I hearby announce that I am to be induced tomorrow (Sunday) at 8am !!
Am getting very nervous now, seeing as there's a definite date for baby's arrival, didn't exactly have this much warning with Monkey! Smilie_PDT

This is all dependent on whether the labour ward is busy or not (they've got 5 inductions today so they might still be quite busy tomorrow, in which case I'll be in on Monday instead!)

Anywho, just thought I'd let y'all know and give you a chance to wish me good luck Smilie_PDT

Byeeeee

Kyala,

Are you expecting a bundle of joy, or boy? Smilie_PDT

Kyala · Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:32 pm Post subject: And then there was 4!!

Sorry I haven't had a chance to get online and post before now, but there you go, that's new babies for you!

All went well on Sunday (well, I say "well" it was a bit traumatic for me and am now having a LOT of trouble getting to sleep because of it but ho-hum)
Water's were broken at 13:30, had lunch, went for a walk round the hospital (gosh it's a boring place on a sunday!) contractions started and went well, got stronger early eve, by gone 7pm I was on the Gas and Air, J said to me (in the middle of X factor) "I dare you to have the baby by 8pm!"
I tried my best, Lucy May (or Squid) was born at 20:04 !! In the birthing pool (well, sort of, she had to be pulled out, once her head was out the contractions stopped! Smilie_PDT

)
A bit of blood loss but all good.
Got no sleep the first night (due to everyone's babies screaming on the Post natal ward, not the best plae to spend your first night after having a baby!)
Was demanding to go home by morning Smilie_PDT

Home by 16:00 Monday (was meant to be going home after minimum 24 hours but I didn't see the point in staying as they were so busy and we live less than a whole minute from the hospital!)

Home now, trying to get into a routine, what they forget to mention is that all newborn's are nocturnal and you will not get sleep for at least 2 weeks Smilie_PDT

(Not that it's a problem for someone who doesn't even want to fall asleep as I'll only have freaking nightmare's!!)

Oh well, so now really glad that she's out, my hips are crying in joy, but my feet are the size of elephants (not elephant's feet, actual elephants!) but I'm besotted with my new little angel and taking things slowly with Monkey, she'll get used to her new baby sister soon and will realise that she's here to stay (poor thing worries when she goes to bed that she's not going to be there in the morning!)

Right, this is turning epic so I'll stop here Smilie_PDT

Thanks hun Smilie_PDT

muchly appreciated! All the congrats I'm getting, wont get bored of it ever!
Managed to get some sleep last night, hoping it goes the same tonight, finger's crossed!!

Frank, Squid is her nickname due to the sheer amount of moving she did in the womb! It felt like there were tentacles going round in there LOL

Labour is grief and I'm definately not planning to go through it again!
