What an amzing story. How courageous of you, 50 hrs! No matter how he arrived, thankfully the two of you are fine! What a good sized bub he was too. In saying it was horrible, you have a good story to tell him about his birth in years to come. If you have another child in the futures, I hope things turn out more to the way you plan.

Although scary, would have been amazing to see the ash falling around the hossy too. Our hossy has massive windows for the maternity ward and the rooms all look out across our country town. When I had been in there visiting others that had had their babies, I never thought much of it, when I was in labour, I found it simply beautiful to look out. You can see for miles it seems.

May your precious little bundle Lachlan fill your lives with love laughter and happiness always
