Things have progressed

Ok, so late on Friday night (technically early Saturday morning) at approximately 2:45am, my water broke while I was falling asleep in bed.

Hubby was sound asleep when I nudged him and told him the news. He was dubious at first, in his sleepiness, but once I showed him the water stain, he was up and getting dressed.

A quick phone call to the hospital and they asked me to come in.

Six and a half hours later at 9:20am on Saturday August 28th, Tilly was born:

Weighing in at just 2.39 kg / 5.5 lbs, 44 cm long and almost 3 weeks premature.

My labour progressed quite quickly and I could only rely on gas to see me through. In the end, she required the vacuum to help deliver Tilly into the world.
