Firstly, can give a big thanks to Dionne for Posting that Joe had arrived. 
Sorry its taken me so long but I only got out of hospital yesterday afternoon
. I typed it out last night and then deleted it at the last sentence so im doing this in word then copying it over.
Well, here goes.
On Friday night Stuart and I went out for dinner. I drove then we came home. At about 1am I woke realising I was having pains that were a bit more uncomfy than usual. As the post from that night showed, my contractions started coming about every 8 mins.
I phoned the hospital and they said to get my stuff together and come in when I was ready. As I was having a section they wanted me in even though the contractions werent too bad. Got to the hospital at about 4.30 and they done their checks and I went for a section and Joseph was delivered at roughly 7.45am weighing 8lb 3oz. They held him up over the screen so we could see what sex he was.
Afterwards I went to recovery then up to the ward where I was till yesterday. My scar hasnt healed at all well and Ive came home with a gory superficial wound which needs a dressing and treated by the midwife everyday. Ive got my stitches out and the wound isnt the length of the scar, about 2 inches and its only the skin, its not through and nothing will fall out but Im worried it might get infected and that would mean I would have to go back into hospital which would mean leaving Jess and Stuart again. I dont regret having the section though.
Its really great being a mummy for the second time round. He is great and all he does is sleep. He is only up once a night and at the moment is being bottle fed but I started off bf changed to bottle as I felt really ill and now im home, feeling better and more confident im regretting it but my midwife has been great and has suggested things without being pushy.
So thats it really. Im over the moon but a bit dizzy so if Ive missed anything out let me know.
Sorry Hayley for nipping in front by a day
