2014 Project365 (Day 209)

Happiness

Well Monday morning did not start quite as planned. Having joked with my Dad and sister that I would probably give birth whilst they were on holiday, I wasn’t really expecting my waters to break bang on 37 weeks.

In a weird sort of way I was quite worried that I was going to have the baby whilst they were away. I was so uncomfortable and really not enjoying the last stages of pregnancy. So, my waters broke at 8am (so much water she must have been swimming in there!) and The Little Mister went off to the childminder as usual and The Mister and I made our way to hospital arriving at about 9.15am.

Rather like last time it would seem that my body is made to deliver babies swiftly and efficiently and by 10.13am our beautiful girl Eliza Gillian Mary made her appearance weighing in at a grand 7lbs 15.5oz. A perfect size but I am very, very glad that she did not make it to full term!!! The Little Mister’s delivery was 4 hours and The Little Miss’ was 2 and a quarter hours. If they halve each time I don’t think we will be going for any more!!

The Mister and I love the first name and her middle two names were my Mum’s names. It makes me so happy to be able to honour and remember my wonderful Mum in this way, it makes me unendingly sad that I have to do it this way.

The Little Mister came up to meet his new baby sister later in the afternoon where is was intrigued and bemused by her and kept trying to poke and stroke her all the while going ‘Babby!!’

Such a happy and wonderful day, if a little unexpected!
