Ah yes so have I told you about my icecream craving. Weirdly this craving always rears its ugly head AFTER giving birth...every night its either gotta be Weiss Raspberry & Vanilla or a good serving of vanilla icecream with custard. With Seven it was Banana Paddlepops so you could say my tastes have "matured" with Kale. I start looking forward to my icecream from about 5pm onwards...my own little happy hour!!
However on Fridays Stu will kindly pick up a bottle of Marlborough Sauv Blanc to finish off the week. Afer one glass I feel shattered and crawl off to bed to blissful sleep. So I say hooray for icecream and wine becos Stu gets the "sleep in" on Saturdays but I get a long sleep Friday night.
Again how good is icecream
So this is my second attempt at trying to keep a weekly diary for Seven. I admit last time was atrocious...but not going to dwell on my past slackness just look forward to more consistently blogging from here on in...do have an Iphone now so that might help - well it seems to help with everything else 8-)
So Kale Stanley McPhee Blake. He was born 5th November 2010 at 12.45pm. Very similar birth to Seven so really had nothing to fear (had such a great water birth with Seven but was unsure I could do it again). Started a bit slower but again ended up in the car in "pieces" and somehow held on until the birth centre. Midwife checked on arrival and I was 8cm then hopped in the bath and almost straight away felt the need to push...four pushes and he was out. Am serious that it was that quick - arrived at hospital at just after midday and he was out 45 mins later. So he was out faster and also bigger - 4.34kg (9lb6oz) and NO STITCHES!! Ended up having to stay 48 hours in the ward as I had Strep B and Kale came so fast they didn't have time to get antibiotics in so they kept me in as a precaution.
So now we have to BIG boys - they are going to eat us out of home when they are teenagers.
Thats enough for now...photo I took today xo
