Entry for December 09, 2005

Wow, so much has happened, so much to say. Here goes

Mummy went into hospital on Tuesday December 6th to be induced, that means she was helped to give birth to you. We got to the hospital at 8 in the morning, We spent a lot of time listening to your heartbeat, which was nice. The gave mummy medicine at 9am, 12 noon and 4pm. Mummy had contractions start at 9pm (I recorded the time of each contraction in a book I was reading). At midnight the ladies looking after mummy suggested that I go home,which I did.

Anyway, it all kicked off after I left.

Fifteen minutes later, mummy's water broke and the midwifes called me to come back. When I arrived mummy was have strong contractions and was in quite a lot of pain. I held mummy's hand but she said "Don't Touch Me!". Just after the midwife left the room and mummy and I were alone together mummy said "Get me something to be sick in". I rushed out the room to find someone to help. Everyone was busy because there were twins being born (Kylie & Derren) as well as other babies too. I came back to the room to find mummy lying on her side, with sick dripping off her arm onto the floor. All mummy could manage was a weak "Too late". Poor mummy. Anyway I cleaned her up and she felt a bit better, (very yucky!)

Mummy was in lots more pain until they gave her an injection in her back called an epidural. Wonderful stuff! It made mummy feel much better. At 5 in the morning mummy and I listened to Queen's greatest hits and then we fell asleep until 6am listening to the audiobook of The Da Vinci Code.

Mummy had to start pushing you out at 7 in the morning (now Wednesday 7th December). But because you were so big the doctor's had to help pull you out with foreceps.

So you were born at 8:52 and weighed 8 pounds 12 and a half ounces, which is quite big
