Presenting...

Flynn Michael Thomas Morgan. Isn't he just gorgeous?

Born, rather rapidly, Monday 16th Feb at 7.45am. Weighing in at 8lb 14oz.

Luckily we made it to the hospital before he arrived, just. I had to get in the back and concentrate hard on NOT pushing about 10 minutes before we got there and I'll be honest I thought we were gonna have him on the side of the road in Tai Tapu! But we made it, and got in the birthing pool with all of 15 minutes to spare.

Shocking, terrifying but perfect really and certainly much better then labouring for days - although I think I was, and just did a good job at pretending nothing was happening - you know me!

So, let the fun begin! More soon.

Calm before the storm

I'm sitting here watching my wee angel (in her fairy costume) dance and spin with her dolly, as Daddy plays slow songs on the guitar. Everyone ate all their dinner, the sun is shining and I don't think I'll be going in to labour this evening but who knows eh?!

'Mummy my head hurts...'

'I think it's a fairy from my dreams banging around. I better make sure I dream her out tonight eh?'

How gorgeous is that! I wish my brain still worked like hers. Her imagination is just amazing at the moment. Last night she told hubby her own bedtime story, a very, very long and complicated one (another delaying tactic I know, but when she's being so damn cute what can you do?).

So, this morning was her first day back at Preschool, after a 6 week holiday. I was much more nervous then she was! She was so excited to be going back I could barely get her dressed for all the singing and dancing and general goofing off! Brief kiss and cuddle, 'see you at mat time' and off she went. Let's hope she keeps this up even after bubs arrives...

Speaking of which, it really feels like it could happen any day now. Due date is the 17th, Mum arrives on the 10th, so lets see who gets here first... watch this space!
