Go to other site...

I had forgotten the blog name of the site I first made, but now I've found it (ie. found my brain...) I'll post on the original one! Sorry... go to http://jasminemae.blogspot.com/

I meant to make a boy one, too, as we didn't know she'd be a girl... but never got around to it.

Our new baby!

WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE GIRL!

- Jasmine Mae -

born July 8, 2008

weight: 3880g

length: 53cm

Just after her first bath, about 12 hours after she was born.

Wrapped up tight

All dressed up in all-in-one, jeans, jumper, gloves (really socks) and hat, ready to go home.

The birth

All natural, this time, which was a much better experience than Byron's induction. Pain control was just showers and baths this time, and the whole labor took about 4-5 hours. (It's hard to judge what "the beginning" is, as it's officially "when contractions get painful", and they go from uncomfortable to painful over time...).

She was born at 9:36pm, and they let us go home after 2 nights in hospital. Everyone is well, and being looked after by Jasmine's daddy. Big Brother Byron was a little bit jealous, but lucky for him, she sleeps quietly all day long (so far) so there is plenty of time for him, too.

Welcome home, little girl!
