Baby Lily Barker was born on Tuesday 3rd December at 6.53am, weighing a petite 6lb 0.5oz. I'll spare you all the gory details, suffice to say I went in for the induction on the 1st December at 12.30 at one hospital, and and ended up having an emergency c section on the Tuesday morning at a different hospital having been in labour virtually that entire time. Wasn't planning to be a martyr but managed with gas, air, paracetamol, the odd dihydrocodeine and a couple of shots of morphine until it got to epidural time. I did go through 3 tanks of gas.
Anyway, all those memories melted away for me when I laid eyes on my beautiful daughter for the first time (I think poor Jamie is traumatised for life but he was an immense support and I am very proud of how he handled it as he can't even watch Casualty without feeling unwell) and it's fair to say I am hopelessly in love with her as is her daddy and both her grandparents.
We were finally discharged yesterday afternoon and it is so nice being at home.
