Our Bubble

For five days and four wonderful nights Miss M, G and I lived in our hospital room bubble.  We had a room to ourselves.  From outside the window we could see a beautiful, big tree, I had my iPhone to play music and i had meals delivered and treats arrived daily.  It was so lovely, it was hard to leave.  I was excited to get our girl home but a part of me did not want to leave the cosy bubble.  My stomach still felt tight and I felt nervous leaving incase some thing happened with my stitches.

Our little girl is just divine.  She feeds well, sleeps well and is so, so cuddly.  She lays happily on G's chest.  She knows his voice when he walks in to the room.  She is just the yummiest.  I look forward to Master O and Miss S visiting.  I miss them and cant wait for them to meet their little sister.  I feel so blessed.

A magical day!

At 10.24am on 23 November 2012, G and I welcomed our little girl Miss M into the family.  Born a healthy 5kg and 56cm long.  Due to her size I had a c-section.  Not some thing I particularly wanted however we needed to do what wwas best for bub.  The procedure itself too ao little time, before we knew it the doctor pulled out from my belly our baby.  Wow.  It was amazing.  Incredible.  She let out a mighty cry and I smiled.  A beautiful gift, a girl.  Wow.  I was so relieved.  

After such a full on year with work and family, I was so relieved.  And she was perfect.  I remember just smiling, so happy, my heart filled with such love.  This calmness washed over me, this peaceful feeling from within.

They took her over to be weighed and checked with G following, camera ready.  I laid on the operating table wih my eyes closed, overwhelmed with so many emotions.  G came back with watery eyes, 'we had a girl.  She's perfect, babe.'  My eyes watered. Wow, again.  I closed my eyes again.  I have totally trust and faith that G will look after bub and what needs to happen, and me as I lay on the table still being worked on.

G returned by my side agin.  "She is 4.988kgs, babe.'  He had tears in his eyes and asked me, "are you okay?'  My eyes were watering too.  My heart just exploded with love watching this amazing man with tears in his eyes.
