Kate Violet is he))
hi all,
17 days have passed & finally i get a chance to post that our second daughter - kate violet - arrived a little bit early (39wks4days) on 2 september - father's day!! for those of you who know us well would see the precious coincidence that steve managed to get such a lovely gift after all we have been through... briefly - i was due to be inducd on the evening of father's day (sunday) for a few reasons. while not thrilled, i was happy to bring the pregnancy to a close and i was very sore & sorry carrying this bubby around. nevertheless, i did all i could to get things moving and/or at least improve the likelihood that the induction would not hit all the stumbling blocks. i had two rounds of accupuncture, took evening primrose oil, massaged clary sage on my belly and, god help me, had sex more than once in the final week! lol. and it appeared to work, my waters broke on the saturday night at 10.30pm (that was a shock!). arrived at hospital at 12.30pm for group B strep antibiotics and was told i was 1cm dialated with a 2cm neck on my cervix ie. npo action, no contractions etc...bummer. or so i thought. at 2am i had my first serious contraction - i then proceeded to walk/march/storm around the delivery suite through each subsequent contraction - never got on the bed til i started pushing - on my hands and knees. i was pushing by 3.30am and she was born at 4.15am. very blue and not very happy because the cord was around her neck - this is why the OB ended up using vacuum extraction to get her out - not that i cared at that point. i did not even realise how distressed she had been until i saw the photos. her apgars were 8 & 9, so not too bad. she weighed 3.75kg (8 pound 4oz) and was 52cm (21 inches) long! not the 4kg+ "macrosomia" baby predicted...it was all fluid, a veritable flood. the midwife was mopping it up before our older daughter arrived to meet her sister! anyway - a very hard but short & effective labour and we have kate violet. lots of dark hair - the complete opposite to rachel rose - who was very bald & fair as a baby! she love the boobs and settles well. i am nowhere near as shattered second time a round. its such a pleasure to have her hope you all remember me, i've been a little absent during the pregnancy...very busy with our first daughter & work etc. less questions so less posting i guess! good luck to the remaining september mums. thanks all, fiona (poohdoo) mummy to rachel rose (6.5) & kate violet (17days)-- |
