The new arrival.

January 7, 2008

People say labour is a beautiful and natural thing, personally it may be natural but there is nothing beautiful about it, it is just painful. About halfway through my labour I began thinking that it would be nice to be a bird and have an egg, I wouldn’t mind sitting on it for nine months if in the end it hatched itself, unfortunately this couldn’t be. All that being said labour went really well for me, I went into labour naturally, was in observed labour for 2 hours and 40 minutes, didn’t need any drugs and both myself and the baby were safe.

And so at 1407 hrs on the 2nd of January 2008 little Winsome Bronte was born. She weighed 3.3 kg or 7 pounds 6 ounces in the old scale. She was 52 cms long and had a head circumference of 35 cms, 2 cm larger than the wrigglebot.
