Sorry I'm late mummy

Hi everyone. Ginn here with great news!!!

Lily gave birth to a healthy 3.53kg (7.8lbs) baby girl yesterday afternoon. Both girls are doing really well and will hopefully be able to come home tomorrow.

Here's the rundown of how things went yesterday:

7.00am - Lily wakes up with mild contractions

9.30am - After some breakfast and pep talk with the boys (Maxi and Nunu) we head to Queen Mary hospital.

10.00am - Lily's admitted to the maternity ward and I'm sent away to wait with other expecting fathers.

11.30am - Lily is already 6cm dilated and is wheeled into the labour room.

1.00pm - 8cm dilated now and it's too late for an epidural. Doc says no more gas as it will make delivery more difficult, but Lily managed to get a local anaesthetic to help with the pain. Chopin is playing on her ipod which helps keep her calm.

3.00pm - All the hard work is done and little baby Lai is welcomed into the world. The mid wife throws a pair of gloves and scissors to me and I'm asked to cut the umbilical cord. Freaky!!!

5.30pm - Lily is through recovery, baby has had her injections and 45 min of breastfeeding. Mum and baby are taking a much needed rest and dad's going out to celebrate!

A really good and quick birth by first baby standards. I guess little Summer realised she was late and wanted to make up time!
