Our little angel finally arrived at 3.55am on Saturday 8th October 2011 weighing 7lb 6oz. It was quite a long labour with contractions starting around 5.00pm on the Thursday night, the pain increased throughout the night but were roughly 5 minutes apart. I did a lot of walking round, few episodes of Friends (hoping it would block out the sharp pains :-)), then when it was time for Craig to get up to go to work we decided it was time to call the hospital, we were advised to head in only to be told I had only dilated 2cm :-( (I was hoping it would all be over by lunch time). My wonderful Obstetrician Glenda said to check me in so up stairs we went. Still not much happening throughout the day just contracting every 5 minutes, Craig even ducked out for an hour to check on a job finally by 5.00pm Friday night Glenda advised I was now 3cm (labour had officially commenced), I'm thinking to myself are you kidding 24 hours of 5 minute contractions and I've only dilated 3cm!?!? Anyway downstairs to the birthing suite we went and after 10 hours and 55 minutes (it sounds like a long time but I took the drugs :-), they did wonders) our whole world changed, it was the most magical moment to look at each other and think WOW I (with the assistance of Craig) created this precious little human!!! Jaz seems to be settling into her new home well, we have had a few hiccups with the feeding but we are slowly getting there!!! I have posted a couple of pic's of Craig and I when we were babies (Craig with Santa and me with my aunty) and I think from these you can see Jaz looks like her dad!!!!
