Hi all

Just a quick update!

Baby Toby born 19:40 on 15th April. 7lb 7oz and all healthy.

Went to the delivery suite to get BP checked on the evening of 14th, diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and wasn't allowed home! Slept overnight, then induced in the morning. Baby didn't like being induced and got quite distressed, so was prepped for C-Section. Doctor decided to give me an hour longer to try naturally, and managed to go from 5cm to 10cm in that hour and managed a natural birth! Had lots of gas and air and an epidural that didn't give full coverage. Was pretty trauamatic and high risk, OH thought he was going to lose both of us. Had two midwifes at all times, assigned just to me and they didn't leave the room for the whole labour. Usually had about 4 people in the room, lots of coming and going and going.

Will write proper story when I get a chance. He is a very sleepy baby and isn't latching on well so lots of feeding. Making progress though!

Persuaded them to let me home after 24 hours, glad to be in my own bed but feel a bit sick and achy, but suppose that is to be expected!

Have I missed anything?

Wooo hooo congratulations, I've been so worried about you! :j
Dont know if you know but I had Ryan on the 12th, 8lb 3oz.
Aww I'm so happy for you hun xxxxx

EA - dinner was fab!!! Bacon tasted a bit funny cos I defrosted it to quick but it was lovely. and OH really enjoyed it too!!! Said it was nicest meal all week!

I might start meal planning properly and then I can take the right meat out the freezer!

That 'Octomum' is MASSIVE :eek:

I now have some bombay mix, half an Easter Egg and some Mini Eggs to munch thru the evening...........

I might make it for me and OH next week. I always try to dinner plan, but its hard with the work im doing now. I never know what my shifts are for the week.

Me and OH went to iceland and spent £40 on food from there so that should keep us going for next week

Im out of easter eggs now, actually thats a lie. OH parents bought the baby an easter egg, and said i have to eat it so the baby gets it lol.
But i dont like the chocolate its made out of, im very fussy lol. Only really like cadburys

AM I can't remember if I said congratulations to you yet: my memory is bad - if I haven't, congrats! Ryan is gorgeous

EA - at least the pc lets you on to here

Triggles

Sorry, been completely MIA again, due to illness and a brief hospital stay for fluids due to dehydration. Home now, feel utterly exhausted, but inching back to feeling better.

Congrats to the new arrivals!!!

Mrs Tine - I can't believe how long it takes for them to get you in for physio!!! That's obscene! I was in to see the physio the same day, with half the equipment the same day, and then a home visit not long after with the rest of the equipment a week later.

Yum Cadburys chocolate is the best - remember we had this debate before!!

Thou my Creme Egg Easter Egg was differnt to my Mini Eggs and they are both Cadbury

Just had an email to say my gas and elec bill now available online to pay - great! Just what I need when I'm trying not to spend any money! Not spent anything for a whole week!!!
