Well, as some of you might have already guessed by my absence, I am now a mummy

I started having contractions at 7:30am on the 4th of October, just a day after my due date. I'd been having them all day and I phoned my midwife who told me that the contractions could go on for days, that I should time them and when they get to 3-4mins apart, then to go to the hospital. They were still about 8-10mins apart so I decided to go to bed. Then at about 11:30pm, my waters broke and the real pain kicked in. I said to my husband, "We've got to go to hospital... NOW"

The pain was pretty intense and I sat ridged in the car. We got there in record time hehe. When I got to the hospital, I was checked and the midwife told me that I was fully dilated and she wheeled me off to the delivery suite and she was concerned that I might give birth on the way. It was about 12:20am and I felt the urge to push... and I pushed... and I pushed for nearly 5 hours. I couldn't have any pain relief, only a suck on the old gas and air but it just made me feel woozy so I just squeezed on the pipe when I had contractions. So... my little girl was born at 5:11am on the 5th of October weighing 6lb 11oz and I just couldn't believe how tiny she was. Certainly didn't feel tiny at the time

Our family is now complete and looking back, I wonder why it took me so goddamn long as I'm loving being a mummy and she is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and perfect

We've named her Eloise although everyone calls her Ellie. There's loads of pics here of Eloise (and some of me too) if you wanna see (you have to be a member of My Space to see them unfortunately

)
