As I have been unable to commit to writing a diary by hand I have decided to start a daily blog. Hopefully our little man Seven will appreciate it when he is old enough to read it.
Seven is 10months old today.
He came into the world rather fast for a first-timer. It was a total six hours from WOAH (waters breaking) to GO (slip-sliding out into the world). I was lucky enough - and after hearing many other birth stories, I KNOW I am lucky - to have a drug-free water birth. Totally unplanned mind you...everything just happened so quickly that by the time the midwife arrived our baby was telling my body, in no uncertain terms, that he wanted out and I didn't really have a choice. The strangest part about the birth was that I was completely silent & focused throughout the process but normally I can talk under water with the best of them.
And then Seven arrived, crying, and we cried, such a beautiful and amazing moment that, as all parents know, you just cannot describe appropriately in words. I often relive that day and that moment and I get goose bumps all over.
As I am starting this diary from today I will just record a couple of highlights to date:
- weighs 11.6kg and 76cm long
- 5 teeth (3 top, 2 bottom) with 2 bottom teeth trying to come through
- breastfeeding until a year (3 times a day) and loves solids
- sitting and rolling
- 2 day naps of 2 hours & sleeps overnight from 7pm until 5.30am
OK thats enough for Day 1 - things to do while he has his morning nap.
