    Talking 09/08/2009 - tk1999 and her DP announce the arrival of...

    Our darling baby girl!

    It is with great pleasure that I announce the early arrival of Miss Caitlin to the BB world.

    Due date was 19/09/2009 but with PE complications, my labour was induced at 34w1d via ARM at 10:50 on 09/08/09 and Miss Caitlin made her debut a mere 6hrs and 33mins later at 16:23, weighing a healthy 2.405kg, is 48cm long and has a head circumference of 29cm! I was hooked to synto & CTGs. Doula assisted (Thanks Cass!), hospital vaginal birth with no tear and drug free labour.

    Our girl is currently in the NICU because of prematurity but is otherwise doing very well. I am busy expressing colostrum for our dear sweet girl and DP is trying to get some rest after a very full on day.

    I would like to thank all of the wonderful ladies in the Belly Buddies Due September 15-30, 2009 thread - sharing my pregnancy with you as been a pleasure and a privilege - I look forward to meeting all of your bundles.

    I would further like to thank my dear BB friends - there really are so many that have given me advice, support and guidance and I am eternally grateful!

    And finally, to my dear sweet sister, Bonham08, who was set to be my post-it-girl... thank you for allowing me to post this announcement. I hope our girls share a bond somewhat similar to the one we share (except when we were in that awkward stage where we hated each other PMSL). Hugs - congratulations Aunty!

    So I leave you now to get some rest - and will post my Birth Story over the next few days.

    ETA - links to some piccies!

    Congratulations tk - just thought I'd pop in here and have a look at your pics. Welcome to Little miss Caitlin, she is absolutley adorable.

    You'll have to pop in to our September group and say 'hi' from time to time.

    Good Luck.
