Well our little man decided that he wasn’t going to hang around on the inside any longer. On Tuesday the 27th of April, i woke up at 4am in labor. Not at all part of the plan considering i was preparing myself for a cesarean on the 10th of May. I ended up going into hospital that morning and after entirely too many contractions for my likeing (yes i’m a wuss) he was born via emergency Cesar just after lunch time (he was just over 37weeks).
At 6lbs 14oz he is by far my smallest baby (my other to were both well over the eight pound mark) and he is just such an adorable little package. We got home from hospital on Saturday afternoon, and besides a few small hiccups we are settling into life with him well. The kids are absolutely besotted with him (especially Koby who is determined to do EVERYTHING for him and will quite happily sit for hours holding him).
We were a little unprepared, but thankfully my bag was packed and ready to go. We were not at all ready for him to be so itty bitty so I have to go out ad buy a whole heap of smaller clothes (he comfortable fits 00000 but will be stocking up on 0000). I am feeling a bit sore but not too bad, i have to keep reminding myself to take it easy. I think i may have over done things a bit yesterday and i’m suffering the discomfort for it today. But i plan on spending a lot of my time on the couch over the next week or so.
I do have lots of emails to reply to (and a few phone calls to return) so if you are waiting to have contact with me then i apologize. Give me another day or so to get into a routine and i’ll get back to you all. In the mean time i’m off to snuggle the new man in my life.
