Just a quick running update

I know there are a fair few people asking for updates so I thought I'd better quickly pop one in.


Imogen Laura was born April 24th, 2008 at 8.40pm
She was 4780gms (or 10lb 8oz for you oldschoolers) and was 53cms (20.9in) long


Her birth went really well and I actually managed to give birth without an epidural (for those who don't know me well, I'll admit that I'm a real wuss when it comes to pain).

After the birth was where the complications set in - I had a rather large hemorrhage which resulted in two blood transfusions and having to spend 5 days in hospital.

When we finally came home, I got busy writing her birth story. I spent three days on it and I'm still only up to my waters breaking - so be prepared for the epic when it's finally posted.

Unfortunately I got sick last weekend and ended up back in hospital with a Golden Staph infection and I've only just got home again today.

So now I'm fighting fit and just a little sleep deprived, so watch this space and I promise I'll be back to crazy blogging sooner rather than later.

Oh and here's some pictures of the (no so) Little Miss:

  7. Oh, my ovaries! She's beautiful. She's bigger than Sam! (Though in all fairness, he was born at 37 weeks. So imagine how big he could have gotten!).

    Congratulations. Can't wait to read your birth story.
