light hearted ttc

Well he's here! Baby boy (name to be announced lol) was born at 11.10am sunday 15th june!
Got to hospital around 5am, examined at 6am was 6-7cms! Was a little annoyed that id been kept waiting for pain relief for an hr at 6cms lol. And the internal was very very painful.. Sent to delivery and got my gas and air.. Examined at 10am still 6-7cms..water broke artificially at 10.10am and things got a lot more painful, i kept shouting at the mws telling them i was pushing and they were telling me not to lol, then they saw his head, said ok, 5 mins of pushing and he was here!
i am a happy lady cant wait for him to meet his big sister later then we can all go home together!
2nd degree tear, no major blood loss.. It was fab!
I couldnt have asked for a better experience it was a million miles away from my last birth, i feel i could do it all again next week haha. Was amazing to actually feel pushing working this time and be almost totally in control! Another labour on just gas and air done staff were fab really helped me maintain focus too and avoid tearing... It was perfect cant quite believe its all over and we're all safe and sound!

oh congrats Jo!!! How nice only a 2nd degree tear, that must feel WAY better eh??

AFM oh man I'm soooo busy all day long, though things are getting better. Cassidy is getting better at peeing in the potty but still doesn't let me know when she hasta go, so if I sit her on the potty every half an hour she'll pee and stay dry but if I forget she pees.

 

[josephine3]

Oh he was 9lb 7oz! A big lad in the 90th percentile!
Sounds like Cassidy is doing great on the potty! Im planning on trying to get Georgia started more 2 in nappies is no fun!

 

[hello_kitty]

Congrats Jo! Glad everything went so well for you and he's a big one too! What size clothing fid you put him into? Scared my baby will be big too and might not fit his nb clothes.

 

[josephine3]

To be fair he still fits in the newborn stuff i did worry he wouldnt fit in what id packed, some of it only says up to 7lbs too so clearly its not. They are a bit short on the arms tho dont think he'll be in them for long! X

 

[ricschick]

ahh yeah he was a big baby!! good to hear about him still fitting in the NB clothes as that's what I was worried about! hows he getting on? any name yet? I no how you guys feel about nappies I was changing nappies none stop for 8 years!! lol x

 

[Blondiejay]

[AC1987]

Hope all you ladies are doing well... Im just super busy.. I feel like I don't have any time anymore for myself.

 

[magicwhisper]

[ricschick]

ahh jo ive just noticed that you've called your little boy Jamie too how lovely funny as we are most likely going to call our baby Georgia! good minds think alike xx

 

[josephine3]

Hey yeah we finally decided on Jamie! Its taken a long time to decide that was even one of the names we discarded at the beginning cos matt didnt like it!
i noticed in another thread u were thinking Georgia, how strange! Lucy was also on my list for a girl.

He is doing great and bac up to birthweight as of today. I am worn ut lol and not finding much 'me time' yet but right now they are all asleep including oh so its finally relax time! Does anyone else find that when the kids are asleep its hard to just sleep cos u want somer xchill time to yourself too before u wake up and have to do it all again?!

I'm good, sorry for the lack of posts. Darcy's big back teeth are coming through and causing her so much pain, plus she has a cold bless her. Other then that she is so fun starting to say different words.

 

[magicwhisper]

yay to the start of labour!
sorry about the teething

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi ladies sorry i havent been posting. I was diagnosed with threatened preterm labor was on bed rest to try and keep him in as long as possible. He was born yesterday morning at 35+3 weeks weighing 6 lbs 5 oz and 19 in long. Perfectly healthy except for some low blood sugar which theyre trying to fix. He gets to room with me and if everything goes well we will get to go home tomorrow morning.
