She's Here....Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!

Hi All

That's right, she's here! What a wonderful present for Daddy on his special day!

Isabella arrived by C-section, as planned, on 18th June 2009. She weighed in at 7lb 7oz and is absolutely perfect! She screamed the operating theatre down the minute her head appeared.

She is beautiful. She sleeps most of the day, and enjoys being awake most of the night! Typical, eh?? We're just so happy to have her. Her big brother is totally smitten with her. He's turning out to be a fantastic big brother and a great little helper too! He wants to be involved in everything and we encourage that. We don't want him to feel left out and we want him to enjoy having his little sister around.

Anyway, I'm trying to sort out some piccies soon, but we have problems with the camera. Once I can, I'll post some of the new addition.

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there.

D-Day is almost here!!

2 days to go, and I don't mind saying that I'm terrified!! I'm convincing myself that something will go wrong with the c-section and that I won't make it. I've had one before, so I know what to expect, but that doesn't stop me from being scared. I have total faith in my consultant, she is fantastic, but there is a niggling voice chipping away at my confidence. I'm sure it will all be fine and that I'm just over worrying...as usual!

I think we're almost ready for our little arrival. Her clothes are clean and ironed. Bags are almost packed. We're going food shopping on Wednesday to keep the fella's going while I'm in hospital and for a few days after I come home.

Hubby painted a corner of our bedroom pink and made it all girly for when Isabella comes home. He wanted to make everything nice for her! I have to admit, before it was done I thought he was being a bit OTT, but it does look lovely. Very girly!!

Anyway, We're off to the seaside in a bit. We want to take the lil man out somewhere nice before Thursday. I'll try and post again soon.

Sorry it's been a while!!!!

Hi Y'all

Sorry I haven't written in a while, but we've been going through a very difficult time lately, lots has happened, and I just haven't had the chance.

Well, it's a little over a week until the big day arrives, and I don't mind admitting that I'm getting a bit nervous now!! We're nearly ready for our new arrival. The pink paint is up and the clothes are washed and pressed. We're just waiting for a new crib to be delivered as the one we were sent was in a sorry state!

I've been off work for a week already. I've been enjoying the time off. We've been going for walks in the forest (which, I thought, had brought on labour the other day!!), and been doing some last minute shopping. I even managed to get to my boss' works hen party last week, which was nice.

Anyway, I'm not sure when I will be able to check in again. So much is still happening and time is very scarce. However, when I can, I will.
