Welcome Evelyn Rose

May 9th, 2007

Evelyn

Evelyn Rose made her first appearance in this world at 9:27pm on Wednesday the 2nd May.  It’s a REALLY long story, so I’ll save that for another page; but the short version is that I was induced for high blood pressure and dodgy blood results, but not a great deal happened, and I ended up with an emergency caesarean section.

 I’m disappointed to have to have had a section (and it’s infuriating that I can’t drive), but at the end of the day, both me and Evie are fine, and that’s all that matters.  She’s absolutely beautiful – I’m not really sure how Newt and I managed to produce something so pretty and dainty!  We’re all at home at the moment, enjoying the sleepless nights and endless rounds of feeding and nappy changing.  Fortunately I’m a lot more mobile than I thought I would be, and not really in pain (which I was very worried about because I’m such a wimp!).  I don’t think it’s totally sunk in yet, the enormity of having a baby – probably will when Newt goes back to work, and life starts to get back to normal.  But so far, I’m loving every single minute of being a mummy.

 Oh, and in other news, in a moment of superb timing, with a load of dirty nappies to wash – my washing machine has packed in.  Well, it’s gone into a huff and started ripping clothes to pieces, which is not within it’s job description.  So I’m on my first trip into the real live world since last wednesday to buy a new washing machine.  And I’m sadly very excited about it.

    Congratulations! she is lovely. Get well and I’d love to see more pictures when you get time. Sorry your labour etc wasn’t exactly as you wanted. But glad you are both okay. I found telling the story makes it feels better, eventually, even if you don’t want to post it on your blog ;) :)

    Good Luck :)

    Hi,
    Someone just forwarded me your blog. My daughter was born Nov. 6, 2006 and we named her Evelyn Rose too… I also had gestational diabetes and labor was induced… just thought it was a bit of a coincidence. Anyway, good luck to you and your darling Evie Rose!
