She has arrived!!!!

My beautiful girl has arrived. Sienna Mae was born on the evening of the 9th February. She weighed 9.5 lbs (3.4 kilos) and was 51cms!!! I had to have an induction due to fears of pre-eclampsia (no blood pressure problems at all previously) and after 12 hours of grueling back labour where I couldn't dilate, my doctor performed a c-section. Her birth was nothing like I had hoped for but she is here safe and sound and so am I which is the main thing. She is breast feeding like a champ and although mr k and I are not getting much sleep, we are very happy. Full birth story and pics to come.

  2. Congratulations! Sienna Mae is such a beautiful name! Well done on your birth, I also had terrible back pain and couldn't dilate - very annoying but in the end our babies entered the world safely!

    I'm so happy for you!!!
