The induction went well and it seemed throughout the Day when Mum and Shammy decided to go for a coffee break all hell would break loose. Shammy went to grab coffee for Mum and when he left I was peacefully reading a book during the contractions but by the time he got back I was curled over in pain with the epidural team on their way, 5cm dilated and with the increased Pitocin intensity I had definitely had enough. Lucky Shammy was back to keep me nice and still for the epidural. After the epidural the rest of Labour was not bad at all.

In the afternoon Mum and Shammy again decided to go for a coffee break and I was thinking at the time I'm not sure that is a good idea as these coffee breaks are jinxed. Sure enough as soon as they left the doctor came in to exam me and realised that Sol was very ready to be delivered and he was warning me not to cough. Everyone was like where is your husband, as they called in the large delivery team and got me organised to go to theatre. It was to the stage where they were going to overhead page him in the hospital when he walked back through with coffee and was handed scrubs and told we would meet him in theatre :).
This week has been around the clock busy but incredibly rewarding, and with proud Daddy and Nanny to help out they are settling into a nice little 4 hourly routine and we have a bit of a shift work pattern happening for the nightly feeds.
We have had so many explosive poos, my computer coped the brunt of one which made for an interesting clean up and last night Shammy and I both got hit by Safiya's fountain poo which left us in hysterics. Sol also thought his pee would make a good hair conditioner for me and maybe a good facial toner as well.
So many rewarding moments and I treasure every day with them.
