Alexandra's Birthday

Alexandra's birth was nowhere as dramatic as Christian's, but she too decided to arrive early, but only by two weeks. Again it was on a snowy day in the UK.

The day after Christian's second birthday I had to go to the hospital for a check-up.

'Do you think you could come in this afternoon.' Doctor said.

'Yes, why?'

'You're in labour.'

'Right'. (I didn't know.)

Went home, got my things, luckily my Mum was staying so she looked after Christian. Went back in and waited, and waited, and waited.

Nothing much was happening, I certainly wasn't in any pain, just the odd twinge.

It had already been decided that I would have another caesarean, so after 3 days they decided to go ahead. Alexandra duly arrived at 9.32 am , all pink and lovely and with no dramas.

In the blip is the book I took into hospital with me, the little card that was in her crib. In the photos the one at top left ,was taken at 2 days old, all the others she is 4 days old.
