We did a thing (v2)
Posted: Sun Jul 23, 2023 10:25 pm
So after this nearly 4 years ago, followed by this 30 months ago, our second was born yesterday:
Wow, you never tire of that feeling do you?
GD again this time so she was going to be early again as last time. Because of the nature of the cut during the C-Section last time we were also told that this birth would have to also be a C-section. It was booked for 1st August when she'd be 39+2. Turns out she didn't want to wait and waters broke on Friday evening. Down into hospital yesterday and they said "right, we'll bring the op forward then".
Sienna was born at 6:21PM.
As there was no labour this time things were very different for my wife and luckily she'll have some amazing memories of the birth, rather than previously where all she could remember was nearly strangling me in a headlock in the delivery room. All the staff were wonderful, but my god the anaesthetist was on another level. An English lady who'd spent 18 months living in Brazil, so my wife and her were happily chatting in Portuguese whilst the rest of the crew were at the sharp end.
I'd forgotten how tiny and light newborns are. 3.5kg though, so bigger than Noah.
Honestly this is the last one.
Well done to Rich for calling it out in the second post on my '1 child or 2' thread.
