Emma Louise was born by Ceasarian section on the 14th June at 3.50am UK time. She weighed in at 7lb 5oz.
Both Mother and Baby are doing well.
It was an incredible experience, a combination of euphoria, fear and panic. The Midwives at the Alexandra Hospital were amazing. Cool, calm, collected and reassuring.
When they realised that baby Emma needed a little help to come into the world they wasted no time and Andrea was whisked to theatre at 3.30am. I couldnt accompany Andrea as her surgery was under general anasthetic. If it were a local anasthetic (which would be the norm for a ceasarian if time allowed for it to take effect, I could have gone in).
Anyway, at 3.50am our Midwife stood infront of me and handed me Emma Louise and told me all was well with both. She also told me that Emma hosed the surgeon down :) (Thats my girl :)) )
Anyway here's a couple of pictures.
