Hi guyz,

I am happy to announce the safe natural arrival of my little man, I am so in love with
Lochlan Turner (middle name still to be decided) Loche was born at 5.52am Sunday morning (29 March 09) 8 pound 3. I awoke at 1.30am choking on vomit (sorry to share the details) only to find at 2.15am I was unable to get off the toilet with a bad tummy.... only then to find 2.30, I had my first contraction... 3 at 15 mins apart, then while still on the toilet I lost my plug, a few mintues later the water blaster exploded.... thank god still on the toilet.... then 3 mins apart lasting 45 secs.. Lochie wanted out and quick. I told dyl to ring the midwife.. "tell her they r 3 mins apart" he replies but they should be 5 mins lasting 1 min each. " DERRR I said past that, that never happened.... too funny, so text book.

20 mins to the hospital, arrived about 3.30am mw arrived about 10 mins after me, 9cm dialated at this stage... sucked on gas for 20-30 mins then could not have anymore coz I was not pushing right... the rest is a bit of a blurr...

All I know is that yes I was stitched from a to b, but soooooo worth it... my little dude is just my absolute world and I would not change a thing. Everything else is just not important... I am soooooo in love!!!!

So I really want to say thank you for your thoughts, I saw a few of you wondering what I was up to... He is safe and we are well... he is great he just sleeps, I struggle to wake him to feed, mind you I am still struggling with the breast feeding thing, but practise makes perfect.. had it perfect for 3 days until the boobs got bigger... but never mind. I will get some more pics on site when I am able to get around and about easier to download them....

Thanks ladies

Hello little man and congratulations to you sweetie!! He is such a cutie pie .... can't wait for more pics!

Take care ...... Taylor awake now so gotta run

xox

Congrats Sara he is gorgeous, wow very quick labour. Well done

Oh Sara, he is a cutie pie!!! WOW to the quick labour, but sooo glad that he is here safe and sound. Am totally with you on the side.
Congrats Hun and cant wait to read more about Loche.

Wohoo, congrats hun and well done, sounds like he was in a hurry to arrive.
OOOhhh memories about the breastfeeding, it does get harder when the boobies swell, keep with it, you'll get the hang of it

Thanks everyone... I found the breastfeeding easy until the boobies got harder, now just waiting for them to go down a little like the mw has promised.... talk about loose the confidence when you gained it...
I just cannot comprehend how in love you can be with someone... he is just everything... everything to me and my hubby..
The first night in birthcare, by the way anyone in Auckland, highly recommend it... they are just awesome up there, I just did not take my eyes off him, my precious cargo.
Feeling a little under the weather today as hubby has had a really bad cold for about a week now, now I have it, so poohs to that.
LOVE BEING A MUM!!!! Beanie is taking good care of us!!!

He is beautiful!! I know what you mean about being so in love and it just gets better!!

Congrats Sara and DH - What a honey Loche is

It sounds like you had a fairly quick labour and delivery, and I so understand about the instant love you have for your babies

I'm glad you got to enjoy birthcare - several of my friends have spent a few days there after their births. I haven't made it their yet, due to having c-sections and Gestational Diabetes, I end up in the maternal medical ward - which was the nice new part of Auckland Hospital, in own room, which was kind of nice - apart from the food of course

I am delivering at Auckland Hospital again this time, so same should happen, as I have GD again Although well managed this time.

Sara, enjoy these early days when bubba is sooo small, as they grow like mushrooms and before you know it, they are 1 I would love to catch up with you, and look forward to your updates. Once again I am soooo happy to hear you fabulous news on Loche's arrival

Congratulations - how gorgeous is he!!!
Well done love!

Sooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Congrats! He is a wee honey.

He is delectable!!! mmm I just wanna grab those cheeks through the computer!!!!

Aww he is adorable....well done mummy!
Loves to all
Go Beanie for looking after you all so well

How are you doing Sara??

Sorry I missed this, congratulations on wee Lachlan, he is just gorgeous!!

Hope your doing well, your wee boy is sooo lovely
