After the quickest of pregnancies to the longest overdue and labour period I can finally introduce who we've all been waiting for, meet our beautiful Ava Jean.
Ava was born on the 3rd March, weighing a whooping 9lb 4oz and was 53cm long. She was 11 days overdue and was born via induction as my waters decided to break but my contractions never started. Labour was a rather unpleasant experience which is such a shame as I'd so hoped for a positive one this time around, but we both got through it and came out the other side in one piece. I'll probably be writing my birth story in the next few weeks but for now I just wanted to share our wonderful news.
I can't believe that she is finally here and just four days in and she's fitted right into the family. She's quite a chilled out baby, one who loves to be held and talked to. She's very alert and strong and has taken to breastfeeding like a pro. She's honestly the prettiest little thing that I've ever seen, I can't take my eyes off her. Welcome to the world Ava girl.

ReplyDeleteAva, browsed the Internet for meaning :- Life, Living One, Bird.

ReplyDeleteThe wonder of birth still leaves me in awe!
ReplyDeleteI just came across this and now Ava has grown so much! Time flies when you are having fun! :) Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise she weighed so much when she was born Jen, Mollie was 8 days over due and I literally felt like screaming, especially when my 1st sweep couldnt be done as she was to high up, she was only 7lb born, and after waiting 8 days she didn't want to wait for daddy to get back from dropping Connor and Megan to my sisters a 10 minute journey all round from the hospital so I gave birth with just the midwifes there, and cut her cord myself, I was really gutted he had missed it, but glad I'd diverted him to the hospital on the way to my sisters otherwise I would have given birth in the car with the kids xxx
ReplyDeleteShe is the most delightful baby, well worth waiting for! We are all getting excited at the thought of a new little grandson, due in September!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby girl xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby and gorgeous name
