Leorah Jai was born by section 3 weeks early as planned as I had been diagnosed with obsetric cholestasis.
The section was absolutely awful! Actually it was the spinal block that was the problem as it took half an hour to get in and kept hitting a nerve which gave me pains like electric shocks down my leg. I was having a section due to anxiety over the birth but to tell the truth I don't think a vaginal birth could have been any more traumatic for me! (Am gratful to have stitches in my tummy rather than my foo though
) All I can remember is the concerned looks on the midwive's faces as they looked down on me and my DH trying not to cry to see me so traumatised 
The anaethetist thought I couldn't undersatnd any danish but I can and he was saying things like "its not happening", "we'll have to put her under" and then in english "you are doing really well, not long now!" I screamed "I understand what you are saying!!"Anyway sorry to go on dwelling on the awful bits, the actual section was painless in the end and I'm recovering really well 
The first time I saw Leorah I was a bit out of it and just remember having her dangled in front of me and all I could see was the cutest, poutiest lips I've ever seen! When she was bought to me in the recovery I was just overwhelmed by how beautiful she is, I can't believe we made something so perfect! She weighed 6lbs at birth but is tiny next to the giant danish babies! She is petite but perfect, even the early baby clothes swamp her, but she looks so cute in them.
Everyone has fallen under her spell, the latest being our dog who lies next to her moses basket and stares at me or my DH to attend to her whenever she makes the slightest whimper!
I have boobs like two bags of marbles but I am persuing the breastfeeding and together we are trying to get the hang of it. I am just so happy! I was never maternal but now I can see what all the fuss is about, the love for Leorah is indescribable, if I could wrap her up in cotton wool and make sure nothing bad ever happened to her then that's what I'd do!
Sorry to have gone on, I could talk about her all day
