Little Riley Cameron is here!

Well, after 9 months of waiting our little boy Riley Cameron has arrived!!! :) He was born on Friday, 8 September at 5:45 pm weighing 3.83 kgs (about 8.7 pounds?), measuring 53 cms and a head circumfrence of 34 cms. He's just sooooo adorable and is fairly good at feeding already.

The birth wasn't all that nice (haha!) but I'm already loosing those memories anyway. I went into labour around 8 am on Friday and with the help of some BB girls here and some emails to friends I lasted till 1 pm when my husband got home from work and took me straigh to hospital. We arrived around 2 pm to find I was fully dialated and after 3 hours of pushing he was finally here (after an episiotomy).

Thanks to everyone for answering my questions over the months! Now I hope to help out some others too...

Congrats Sherie!!! With a bit of positive distraction and staying home as long as you can, you can avoid all the hospital interruptions so your body can do it's thing quicker and with ease :) Well done!!! When you are ready to write your birth story, be sure to send me a copy to pop up on the main site for the collection there :) It was great to share your labour with you that Friday!!!

YAY!! Congratulations Sherie and hello little Riley!!!
That is amazing that Riley was born on Jesse's due date and Jesse on Riley's and we both had to have an episiotomy to get the lil gems out!! I guess you know the pain im going through at the moment too hehe ;)
I think its just bizarre how mirrored our pregnancies were.. but we both now have our little men and nothing could be better! (perhaps if i pain form the episiotomy wasnt still around maybe!) ;)

Thanks everyone!!! :) He is such a good boy (well, most of the time). :) We're loving having him around... (now if only the boobs and 'down below' weren't so sore everything would be perfect...hehe)
