The best laid plans...

Baby Bug:
8.5 lbs ~ 50.5 cm long


My plan:
Have baby Wednesday, come home Thursday afternoon...

What actually happened:
Went to hospital Wednesday, had an emergency Cesarean Thursday lunchtime. Baby bug whisked off to SCN and I met him THREE long hours later.
Both came home Sunday and now doing well, although I am sore and sorry for myself.

Feeling more mobile each day and will be back into the swing of things soon (touch wood).

  2. Congratulations to you, Mr Becky and Possum, and welcome to your baby bug.

    A year later, those 4 and a bit hours I had to wait to meet my baby girl still make my heart ache but boy, oh boy, she was worth the wait. If we could change things, of course we would but to hear that you're home and doing well is great news.

  3. Well done - the bug looks beautiful. So pleased you are both well, not pleased the plan didn't work. Still, small price to pay for such a fabulous outcome.

  9. Congratulations! I discovered last year that birthing plans are purely for amusement - reality didn't behave for me, that's for sure! BUT I am so enjoying having a healthy, happy baby, even though the planned completely natural birth became anything but.

    I hope your recovery is fast and you're feeling vaguely recognisable soon! I'm impressed that your brain is working well enough to post already ;-)

  10. Welcome to the world little man - sound like you gave your mum a few scares.

    Hope that everything is improving. Take it easy and if you need anything (not sure that I can help too much from this far away) but c-section advise I can give.

    Love to all

  15. Welcome home, darlings. When yo u said he was blond, I didn't think he was a Norseman! Maybe you should rethink the name and call him Lars or something! Something in the post in the not too distant future...

  19. Well done on a lovely baby boy! Does he have a name yet? I hope you are feeling better every day and can put any dashed dreams of birthing out of your head, and just enjoy each day as it comes! Life just got a little bit more crazy now with two, but it is so worth it.
