My 3rd bub has arrived!

Comment Published at 21:4421:4412 comments12 comments74 Visits74 VisitsReport

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.

Congrats!!!!  another little princess!  Glad your labour was an easy one.  What movie were you watching? I ask because with my last, I was watching Rush Hour, and she arrived not long after it finished!  And yes, it was a rush hour rofl.

Take care of your little family.  Don't worry about having 3 under 4, we got 5 under 6! rofl

Re: My 3rd bub has arrived!

My husband and I have been reading the Night Watch / Day Watch series and after liking the 1st movie, we got the second one out on the night I went into labour. We were just about finished it when my labour started, and I was angry because it turned out to be a boring movie (not like the books) and I could've got some precious sleep before labour began!

Thats funny you were watching Rush Hour!
