Story of a birth (part 1)

I started this blog to keep a record of Baby A’s life, so what better place to start then the very beginning: the birth.

Let’s talk quickly about the pregnancy. That’s a bit of an irony actually, after all pregnancy lasts 9 months. But, considering I didn’t go through pregnancy myself, I can’t exactly offer the most amazing insight!

Women seem to enjoy pregnancy – up to a point anyway. Mummy A loved rubbing her stomach and the feeling it gave her. From my point of view, I said “Wow, you’re really glowing!”, whilst thinking “Wow, you’re really massive!” (I’ll probaby be killed for that one).

Then a month or so before birth things changed – climbing stairs were harder, and the little one kept her awake quite a bit at night. C’mon, give her a break – he keeps us up all night nowadays, it’s just rubbing it in to keep her awake during the pregnancy as well!

I’ll talk about our trip to the hospital in part 2.
