Our new nephew.... FINALLY!

Well Debbie finally had her baby! Just 12 days late :) This is what she had to say:

Hi Everyone,

Well after a traumatic 18 hour labour my baby boy entered the world. I was induced on Sunday 16th July early in the morning and "Xaviar James Lasserre" was born at 0723 on Monday 17th July. He weighed 3.825kg and was 52.5cm long. He decided to give me a hard time and be malpositioned. He was in a posterior position (head in the wrong widest diameter) which is a difficult birth occurring in 10% of birthing women. It causes prolonged labour and most commonly requires aneasthetic and a caesarean section! Great! It was a true case of Curse of the Midwife! I wanted and was hoping for everything al naturale but ended up with everything under the sun. Basically I spent 17 hours rolling around screaming and grunting like a wilderbeast! The pain and pressure was so intense that I wanted to push at 1cm. But miraculously 18 hours of trauma ended up with me pushing my big boy out. Can't even begin to explain the pain but know that I want be doing that again in a hurry.

So curse of the midwife: I had a crap pregnancy (put on 30kg and felt sick the whole time), I had a traumatic birth (the head was stuck) and now I have mastitis and have been shaking feverishly!

But apart from that my little man is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute. He has the most beautiful face and loves to breastfeed. He has a huge breastfeeding mouth, huge hands, huge feet and a huge willy! Everything a man wants! hehehehehe

He sleeps from 3-7 hours at night and is a good baby.

He is now 8 days old and weighs 3.9kg. Baby is very healthy and happy but mum is still walking funny! Well better go, hopefully these antibiotics work and I feel better.

Love to you all and thank you for your well wishes
