Ella Jayde is here!!

10:41 am

Well after being induced on Saturday afternoon at 3pm (first lot of gel…) and then second lot of gel at midnight…still no action… i was put onto the drip on Sunday the 16th July 2006 at 12pm and was blessed with a gorgeous lil girl 6 hours and 11 minutes later :) Ok so labour was a fair bit worse than what I had expected, not because of the pain, but because of how tiring and draining it is… you just feel like you cant possibly go through another contraction even though you know that you will get a wonderful child at the end.. anyways it all turned out well!! Ella Jayde was born on the 16th July 2006 at 6:11pm, weighing a tiny 2.64kgs or 5lb11oz.. only 46cm long :) recovery went well and we have been home now for a few weeks, settling in. Will be back to write some more on things I have learnt about settling techniques.. oh and stuff that I wish that they had told me in the antenatal classes.. here is a pic!!
