I've been without a computer for who knows how long now, but I'm back!
I now have another little girl, Madeline Anne. She was born 4.14am on Sunday, but I went into labour on my due date which I thought was incredible since I was induced with both Ava and Liam!
I thought I was in labour the night before, but the next night my husband and I were watching a movie in bed. I went to the toilet, realised I'd had a show, went back to my husband and told him it was going to happen that night. I was upset because it was 10:30pm and I had wasted precious sleeping hours watching the crappy movie!
Pretty soon after finding the show I started having contractions and so we called my mother in law to come and mind the kids. We went to the hospital at midnight, where the nurse discovered I was 4cms dilated. But bub was almost posterior, so was told I might be in for a long labour. Luckily it was quiet at the hospital so I got to go into the birth suite straight away. I have to say I had an easy labour, if I wanted a break from contractions I just sat down! Richard was happy because he got to watch the footy inbetween rubbing my back.
I survived on gas and air (right at the end) and before we knew it, we were holding little Madeline in our arms. She was 8lbs and 53cm long, with a heap of hair that sticks up.
Its tough having 3 under 4 but I wouldn't have it any other way.
