The Birth Story
On Wednesday 24th August the pre-labour pains began. I spent the day keeping busy and made sure I got some rest. I went to bed at about 10pm that night and my labour had started. I had 7 minute apart contractions and tried my hardest to rest in between. By 3.20am my contractions were 3 minutes apart so we got ready to go. Naomi came to look after Charlie and Trev and I headed to Sutherland hospital.
By 3.45am we were in our room, epidural had been requested and was given by 4am. Trev and I then got to have a sleep and by about 8.30am the fun began. It was the most beautiful experience, I actually got to enjoy the birth (which sounds crazy). But we were all very calm and I had the most amazing midwives. Gracie arrived at 9.15am on the 25th August. Trev and I were totally ecstatic and in love the minute we met her.
An hour after the birth I was up having a shower, washing my hair and even putting on a little makeup. I was on the biggest high and couldn't wait to introduce Gracie to her big brother. Our little family of 3 is now a family of 4.
Please meet Gracie Silver, our little boy Charlie and my husband Trev (I don't think I've introduced my family on my blog yet).
