10-07-2007 11:51am#1The time has arrived:)
Mrs. Roundy went into slow labour yesterday afternoon, and we headed to CMH last night. Although she was suffering regular contractions, it was a case of all show and no go, as those who have gone before may understand. Dilations have commenced, but I was sent home at 3am in order to give her some rest. She's watching DVDs now apparently, and walking around waiting for things to happen, and still on 39w+5d, so no chance of being induced just yet, birth, planned at least, to be natural.
I've been through all this before, but waiting is still a bummer, not to mind how the boss feels. I'm under orders to stay put though, so will kill an hour or two before going back in.
Number one is gone shopping for a present with Granny, and is as excited as anybody.
Hopefully this evening will bring news, the phone hasn't stopped all day
Anyone else in a similar (expectant) situation?

Well, #2 arrived at 20:22 this evening, weighing in, in old money at 6lb 14(ish)oz.
Labour was a fleeting twelve minutes from the waters breaking to cutting the cord! Labour pains however, were ongoing since early on Monday afternoon, but fair play to Mrs. Roundy, who took it in her stride, and was rewarded with an easy time of it once things got underway:)
The staff at CMH were just as friendly and quietly competent as one would expect, and anyone going there should rest assured of being well looked after.
Tomorrow night, hopefully should see mother and baby discharged, provided the gynaecologist has no objection, as herself would rather be at home.
6th and Mrs 6th, and all other expectant parents, your time will come too, I know the last 36 hours went very slowly for us, and feel your pain!
Apologies for the poor quality of the attached, I neglected to turn on the flash function on the old moby, slightly preoccupied and all that

Congratulations to all involved.
Not to worry, using the flash is like electrocuting them at that age, they have no experience of light, never mind bright light.RoundyMooney wrote:Apologies for the poor quality of the attached, I neglected to turn on the flash function on the old moby, slightly preoccupied and all that0 -

Well Mrs. 6th was due to have a section this afternoon but at 6am this morning 6th jnr decided he'd have a go at making his own way out.
Long story short after a full labour Mrs. 6th had to have an emergency section and jnr made an appearance at 11.45am .... so here he is all 8lbs 15oz. of him:
Our first got to meet him this evening and made sure to tell everyone in the coombe about her brother while saying "Your baby is cute too" to anyone else with a baby
Congrats to the Roundys and good luck to everyone else with babs on the way!
6th jnr will be getting his Boards.ie account when he turns 13 just like his sister will.0 -
