boo! sorry its been a while and Kayleigh....thanks for updating I hope your move goes well hun.
I have had a rushed catch up, I hope u are all well. flying visit to try and finally update.
Well it has been 2 weeks now since the arrival of Jennifer Rose. She truly is adorable.
I’m still quite sore from the C section and being the stubborn woman that I am most likely doing far too much for my own good....Well I actually feel I have more energy and enthusiasm than I did prior to her arrival. Lol.
Anyway yes, my labour started around 8.30pm on weds. But that was nothing...I was only warming up. I even went into Labour ward on the Thursday night to be told false alarm....
2am fri.....the contraction got bad....to the point of screaming and most likely waking half the neighbours at around 4am. This continued for a bit until about 7am when I eventually managed to get to sleep for a few hours...awoken by a bad contraction at 9am...that was the last I saw of it until 4pm....they completely vanished.
As the evening progressed, the contractions got stronger and more frequent.....for those mothers amongst you...yes I screamed and mooed like a cow lol. No one can describe the pain and you can’t recall the pain after....very strange.
Anyway....My waters went about half 2 am Saturday just before we were leaving for the hospital.
GAS AND AIR IS AMAZING! Lol
I will spare u the constant grunts and moans that came from my mouth....but me screaming at one point where is my f**King Epidural just as the anaesthetist walked in was somewhat amusing to those surrounding me lol...ooooops!
Well, the contractions really slowed down after that was administered and I ceased dilating. And after a last examination at half 1 pm I was told I would be going to have an emergency C SECTION. I was wheeled into theatre where hubby was whisked away to scrub up and was left alone being pulled left right and centre with the prep.....cue the tears of the unknown.
The screen was raised....hubby came in.....and before I knew it I heard that magical gurgled cry.....Our daughter.
2.30pm Jennifer Rose was bought into this world weighing in at a whopping 9lb 3oz...(Me thinks I need to consider long and hard having a second lol)
She is perfect in every way.
The nights are the hardest, I’m almost certain she is going to be a clubber when she old enough as she wakes up bright eyed and bushy tailed much to Mummy and Daddy’s frustration at around midnight and doesn’t really go back off again until 3/4am. But she is worth it.
I was re admitted to hospital on tuesday after faffing around in A&E for a few hours as I ended up with Celulitus infection just above the wound. Im healing well according to all MW, Dr etc that look at it, I just need to continue clearing the crap out.
I have got some minging headache at the mo so not stopping long.
Its a tough job but I am loving it. yes I do still get tearful which is getting worrying tbh...I hope it curbs soon. not all the time but little things set me off.
Missed you all.
Im sure u have seen pics on FB but just in case I will add some here. xxxx
Love you all and hope to have a better catch up when I have made a full recovery. xxxx
