The family

Mummy and daddy and Little Lily. Finally a shot of all three of us looking human again.

On the outside

She might be on the outside now, but Lily still enjoys to hang around a familiar area.

Little Lily

Our little cherub, Lily Hannah; already smiling at a little over 3 weeks old.

The arrival of 'Gert'

After 30 something hours of labor it finally took an emergency Caesarian to bring our little 'Gert' into the world.

Lily Hannah arrived at 8:40pm on the 19th of March 2008, with a big scream and a rather cone shaped head. We were besotted right from the start.

Mmmmmm..... ICE CREAM!

Who said a stable diet can't consist of at least one serve of ice-cream a day? It's got dairy... that's good for you, right? And chocolate is part of any good ice-cream, and we all know how important chocolate is.... especially to an 'overdue' pregnant woman.

Nod and agree people; just nod and agree!

41 +

OH MY! I'm over 41 weeks now... which means inducement is on the cards now. So one way or another, very soon Gert will be on the OUTSIDE!

YAY!

Okay! Now it's just plain ridiculous...

Okay, I know it can't be much longer, logic says that. Gert can't stay inside me forever.... but freakin' $#!^ this is just getting so uncomfortable and exhausting. Every day feels like a week, and my emotions are so off the scale it's even starting to freak me out! At any given point I might be angry, happy, quiet, sobbing my eyes out, jovial, pleasant or full of rage at something as small as a cup left on the bench! OI!

Come on Gert..... GET OUT!

Another week!!!!

40 weeks! Now I am completely FULL TERM, ain't no doubt about it. It's all getting rather uncomfortable now. I know it can't be much longer, but why is it that these last days now feel like weeks?
