Valkommen Lewis Edward Hugo Gard! Fodd kl. 23.58 den 16:e mars 2011. 4014 g och 51 cm lang.
Welcome Lewis Edward Hugo Gard. Born on at 11.58pm on the 16th of March 2011 4014 g and 51 cm

Efter en for mig mardroms forlossning kom han antligen ut i onsdags natt. Han var nara att fodas pa St Patricks day men var for snabb med 2 minuter. Efter 20 timmar med varkar hade jag bara oppnat mig 2cm och Lewis hade bajsat dar inne sa beslutades det att jag skulle fa akut kejsarsnitt. Men da kom en annan kvinna in som behovde kejsarsnitt mer an mig sa jag fick "snallt" vanta i drygt en timme till. Val nerrullad till operation och antligen fri fran forfarliga varkar sa undersoktes jag och da visade det sig att jag gatt fran 2 cm till 10 cm pa den timmen. Sa jag blev upprullad igen till forlossning och fick med hjalp av sugklocka fram Lewis. Stackars Greg fick ta alla mina svordomar och ett och annat rivmarke. Utan honom sa vet jag inte hur det hade gatt. Tur att man lever i moderna tider sa det finns smartlindring.

After a nightmare labour Lewis was finally born 2 minutes before St Patrick's day. I had contractions for 20 hours I had still only dilated 2 cm, Lewis had done a poo in there when it was decided that I had to have an emergency ceasar. However, this other lady came in who needed a ceasar more than I so she got priority and I had to wait. Finally down in the operation theater I was examined and it turned out that I had dilated fully in just over an hour. By this stage I had had an spinal epidural so I was free of pain...at last. It was the best thing ever! So instead of a ceasar I was rolled back up to the delivery suites and Lewis was born a bit after that. If it wasn't for Greg I don't know how things would have gone. He had to take a lot of abuse the poor thing and I think I have scarred him for life...although the scratches on his arm are not that bad. I just have to say how grateful I am to him and to the fact that I live in a modern society that has good hospitals and painrelief!

Grattis farfar Ken 60 ar och inga babis nyheter annu
Happy Birthday Granddad on your 60th birthday, and no baby news yet

Jag hade hoppats att babisen kanske skulle dela sin fodesedag med sin farfar. Babisen var ju beraknad till den 10:e och Ken fyllde den 12:e sa det fanns ju en chans men nej, han ligger forfarande i magen och verkar trivas alldeles for bra dar inne.

Jag har tid hos min lakare idag och da maste vi bestamma om vi bokar in for snitt eller inte. Eftersom jag snittades sist pga av att Layla lag i satesbjudning gor det att det blir lite mer komplicerat. Jag kan inte bli igangsatt och om babisen ar for stor sa kan min livmoder spricka under en naturlig fodsel men chansen att detta kan handa ar visst ganska liten. Min lakare ar en av de basta i Brisbane sa det kanns anda skont och lite tryggare. Jag hoppas ju kunna foda naturligt men anda maste man ju se till babisen och min egen halsa. Vi far se. Kanske vi bokar in ett snitt men hoppas att babisen kommer ut innan.

Kram, Agneta

I was hoping that the baby would share his birthday with his granddad. There was a pretty good chance as Ken's birthday was on the 12th and the baby was due on the 10th. However, it didn't happen. I think he might be striving to share his birthday with his future friend Alexander who is Anna and Mathias baby who is due on the 28th of March.

I am seeing my obstetrician today and I guess together we have to make a decision of what to do. As I have had a prior ceaserean it makes it a bit more complicated. I can't be induced and if the baby is too big my uterus could rupture. However, apparently the chance of this happening is pretty small. It still needs to be taken into consideration but I still prefer a natural birth as long as it is not putting the baby or myself at any risk. Maybe we will book in for a ceasar but with a bit of luck the baby will come out prior. Dr Keeping is one of the most respected and experienced obstetricians in Brisbane so I will have to put my trust in his hands.

Keep your fingers crossed. Cheers, Agneta X

Ja ma du leva...
Happy birthday to you...
