Well thanks to hubby for updating my blog :) I went into labour at about 6am on Sunday morning and ended popping over to the hospital around 9 to find out if they wanted to send me in for my op earlier. After waiting for what felt like ages, they prepped me up and did the op at 2pm, Lily was born at 2:09pm, battling a bit with her lungs, so she was whipped off to special care after we got some cuddles. She is much smaller than Katie was, totally adorable, but reminds me ALOT of Katie, definately sisters!!
Here we are waiting for Lily to be born :) The operating staff were all just soooo incredibly friendly and fantastic, I couldn't have wished for any better!!
Little bubby Lily get a bit of some oxygen supply while we get some quick cuddles.
She went off to special care, after my recovery they drove me in their to get some skin to skin contact and breastfeed. She was already doing much better at that stage, but stayed put for a few hours more and joined me in my room around 6pm that night.
This is little Lily the next morning :) Fast asleep, but don't let her fool you, I think I only got about 1 hour sleep that night! not her fault though as she was throwing up mucous and a bit of blood poor thing.
Katie is just IN LOVE with her baby sister and didn't want to share her with ANYONE, she is pretty sick though which makes it ultra tricky as she keeps wanting to kiss and hug Lily.
Little baby Lily 2 days old. Again sleeping during the day after giving me just about no sleep during the night argh!!
And then night 3, she slept like a little angel with only wakeups at 12 for a feed and then at 6am, and she has been a good girl since!!
We just got home this arvo, so I better get off here and get things unpacked etc.
THANKS so much for all the congratulations!! What a beautiful thing to come home to and read through all the beautiful messages!!
