Caroline’s on the mend, and we’ve moved to the main post-natal ward. Joshua would like to say hi (as best as he can)

Daddy gets a cuddle

His face is less podgy than Oscar’s was, but still a hairy mister! He’s having a nice look around.

Almost 4kg

Mini man is getting weighed. He’s almost 4kg, or 8lb 12 (it may look like he weighs a little more in the pic, but his wriggling is making the scales wobble)

Mini man

Born at 0710. 8lb 12. Mummy is exhausted!

I can see the head!

June 10th, 2014

Still pushing, but I can see the head now. We’re heading into the endgame. Caroline is in position and they’ve taken half the bed away!

Pushing!

June 10th, 2014

Caroline’s really pushing now! Making good progress. He’s hairy!

Here we go!

June 10th, 2014

Contractions started at 4, and waters broke. We’re at the hospital, now and turns out… She’s fully dilated!

Started pushing, so they want to see the baby within an hour!

Preparing for theatre

We’re all fine. Caroline is very tired but not been in bad pain. She’s being prepared for theatre now. They’ll do an epidural then try instrumental and do c-section if that doesn’t work.

Oscar’s head is a bit skewif, which is maybe why its been a difficult delivery.

Looks like Oscar’s birthday will be Feb 5, not 4th :p
