Rose: What do I have to live for? You tell me that, Ed!
Edward: You'll have to find that out on your own. Move forward. You've got a good strong pair of legs, Rose. I suggest you use them.


I hope you're ready for a long blog....

I was admitted to Barrett maternarty hospital on Monday with high blood pressure, protine in my urine and the knowledge that my baby's growth had slowed ever so slightly from 20 weeks.
At 28 weeks I'm induced. Told i can only have the gell 3 times.

Contractions started on the monday night, but not enough, and i only dilated 1 cm. (i need to be quite a few before they can break my waters) Next morning they tried again, then in the afternoon, but once again i didn't have enough contractions and only dilated an extra cm. I was starting to get very aggitated. Wednesday i was moved to a room and preped for a cesarian section. This is were it starts to get fun!

The midwive came to take some blood and i had a drip installed. I'd been Nil By Mouth since midnight, so i was starving, hence the drip. Kris' face was paler than mine. I was tagged, dressed in an operation gown and at three they took me to the operating theater. Kris had to stay outside while i had an anesthetic injection into my back. I was then given a few moments to let it work. They spray cold spray onto your arm and say tell me when you feel the same coldness on your leg. Once you feel nothing up to about your waist Kris is allowed back in and the C-Section starts.

I can't tell you what they do, i refused to look, but i can feel them touching me and i feel a pulling feeling in my stomach. Before i knew it, baby William James Cadd is being weighed, tagged and given his Vitamin K injection.
He weighed 5 pound 4 and was born at 45 mins past three.
While they were 'stitching me up' William was wrapped and placed on my chest for me to hold. His eyes were the most gorgeouse blue and he looked perfect.

I was moved back to the high-dependancy ward and given an injection and some pain killers. Kris and William had already been sent through. I was sleepy and hungry but very happy.
On thursday i was moved to Sandringham Ward and there we stayed till Sunday.

We are both very happy to be home, and photo's of my special little guy will be posted on Facebook as soon as. Thank you to everyone who has helped me out during my pregnancy and if you haven't already been to see us, William and I will be around to say hi soon.

P.S. Here is a link to the first pic of William i took. it was done on my phone so it might not be very good. ^_^
