He's Here!!

Welcome Flinders (Flynn) Lok Ping Lam!!

Our special little guy was born Tuesday 22/10/13 at 8:26pm. He weighed a hefty 4.455kg/ 9lb 13oz {whoa!} & was 52.5cm long.

I ended up having a water birth, which was unexpected! But I was in the bath (an awesome pain reliever for contractions!) and labour advanced a bit quicker than expected, so the midwives decided to leave me there rather than try to move me between contractions. So even though he was quite a massive baby, I managed to push him out with only gas as a pain reliever, and I didn't need any stitches or anything after either. Woo Hoo {high five!} I thank the bath for that!

It was a quick labour too, I was induced with prostin at 2:30pm, my water broke at 6pm & he was born at 8:26pm! Quite quick!

Here is Jaimeson meeting his little brother for the first time!

 

So in love already! Like honestly, Jaimeson gives Flynn about 4000 kisses a day! Flynn is going to have to get used to a bit of rough love!

Daddy is a bit smitten too!

 So we're settling into life as a family of 4, having a few breastfeeding issues with Flynn, but hopefully it's just a phase that we'll be able to work through. It's a bit stressful at the moment though!
But I have to say, I have adjusted to mummyhood a lot easier this time, than with Jaimeson. It took me a whole 9 days before I cried this time, and with Jaimeson I had cried so much before we even left hospital! LOL!
So now I've got heaps of pics to use for Project Life! LOL! How to choose???!!
