Baby Alex was born at 8 minutes to midnight
on Sunday 9th and he was perfect. |
 |
Caitlin is absolutley ACE, she is the apple
of my eye, the light of my life. Even when she wakes up
at 11pm and wants to play games till 2am I wouldn't change
her for the world. |
 |
I just lay there staring at her, the midwives
kept telling me to get some rest but how can you when
you have something so perfectly beautiful laying next
to you?... |
 |
I had a lovely deep lavender bath which I managed
to sit in for 50 minutes, singing at the top of my voice,
"You are my sun-shine my only sun-shine" ...

 |
Just a few weeks before my due date of 1 June, my husband
Jamie was accepted into police college 900km away and
had to leave 3 weeks before the baby was due... |
 |
The doctor held her up and she was wrapped in a towel
and given to me, she was born with her eyes wide open
and didn't even cry... |
 |
They put her on my tummy, Pete was crying "Alice
we've got a little girl!" |
 |
Talk about love at first sight! She is so beautiful, absolutely
precious & perfect... |
 |
They decided there was no option, but to do a caesarean
section. I was suddenly terrified and couldn't
stop shaking... |
 |
I gave one almighty 'I'm going to push this baby out
no matter what' noise and Daisy's head was born followed
by the rest of her body on the next contraction...
|
 |
Izzi is so much fun, and parenthood is better then I ever
could have imagined!! Izzi has started on solids and chatters
and jibbers away... |
 |
George is such a happy and contented baby. He is smiling
loads and gurgles and coos whole conversations with us
now... |
 |
At around 12 weeks I decided I wanted a home birth. I
collected all my research from the internet and finally
persuaded my husband Chris, which was no easy task... |
 |
By 1pm I was found to be 9cm, and felt ready to push,
and a few contractions later my waters broke with a gush... |
 |
Yasmine has really settled down well and we love her to
bits - I didn't think it were possible to have such intense
emotions for anything… |
 |
The pool was only half full when I got into it, tap still
running, but it was lovely being able to submerge my tummy… |
 |
Baby was due on the 13th June 2001, but not unexpectedly
didn't arrive… |
 |
By the twelfth day past my due date and my experimenting
with every trick in the book for bringing labour on. I
could not sleep for contractions… |
