08/12/2006 - Baby Harry Arrives!




Well the title says it all really!



On the 8th of December at 17 minutes past midnight baby Harry made an appearance to the world.







After gettin backache and pains all day on and off on Thursday I was hoping it was the start of things, by about 6pm I decided I was in too much pain to make dinner but still couldn't quite believe this might be it!







Well I was right i certainly was in labour :)







I knew those niggles all day were something.
Mel got to ours about 9pm and Steve and I set off to hospital who tried to send us to Frimley Park as they were so busy but I refused! Was sat labouring away in reception while they kept promising someone to examine me.
It was only when i had 3 contractions back to back that another lady stormed off to demand me a room, I was given a room and told i would have to move to make way for someone else, cept by the time she came back to examine me I was saying i needed to push lol! This was at about 11.30pm.




I was right she examined me and I was fully dilated , about 45 minutes later the HUGE one popped out. Not tears a small graze that i asked them to leave WOOHOO..




All over very quickly like Freddie, start to finish was about 4 1/2 hours, I was very shaky after he was born and threw up everywhere! Very pleasant! I had a cuddle then went to have a shower to freshen up. Came back and fed the hungry horace!






Steve left at about 2.30 to get home to Fred (and relieve Mel!) and managed to sleep till 8.15, when they came and got me, self discharged from hospital afte the pediatrician had seen him and was fed up waiting. I unfortunately haven't had much sleep at all as the afterpains are AWFUL, but struggling on with parecetemol, he is feeding like a pro, although it is a bit painful!







Freddie is in Love with his BABY BWOVER! and loves kissing and cuddling him.


Later that Day, Steves Dad came over to see the Baby Harry! and bought me Champagne and Flowers!
A bit later Mel, Bridie and Connor came over to peer at th new arrival too!
