Hi everyone
Sorry I haven't had a chance to get on here until now. Thank you for all the lovely postings welcoming little Taylor. We are of course totally besotted with our new little girl who made an appearance at 5:48am on Sunday, 15 March 2009.
We were booked for induction on the Monday, but Taylor just couldn't wait. I started to get some niggles around 1am on Sunday morning and after monitoring them myself for around 45 minutes, called the nurse around 2am who put the monitor on me. The contractions started to come a bit more regularly then and I made a quick call to DH at 2:40am. Expecting a very rapid labour as with Liam and Caitlyn, DH and my Mum broke all the traffic laws in history to drive the 15 minutes to the hospital. They needn't have rushed as it then took another couple of hours for things to really reeve up. My MW broke my waters and after a very painful 'poke around' it was ALL on!
The cry that Taylor gave as she was born was music to our ears and it was such a relief to hear that she was well and healthy!
Things have been a bit of a blurr over the last few days and Taylor has slept a lot during the day and not much at night! A visit with the MW today has given us an action plan for managing that now, so hopefully we will be able to turn that around soon.
The feeding is going really well. In fact Taylor latched on within 30 minutes of being born!
I've attached some photos and will download some more from my camera over the next few days.

I tell you, I'm very good at doing half baked things at the moment.
I can't wait to be able to take that kind of shot myself!

I will say it again Tanya, Taylor is just beautiful, darling little girl. Well done!!! Congrats to you, DH, Caitlyn and wee Liam. Yey!!!!!!!
