Molly louise born 29th January 2013 at 9.16am weighing 7lb 5oz 
best day of my life
My birth story is a bit late as my gorgeous girly keeps me sooo busy
On 29th January I was booked in for an elective c-section. I woke up just before 5am after hardly any sleep, laid there for 10 mins until i felt my little Molly kick took the medication and got ready and set off about 6.30 am for the hospital.
We got there about 6.45 (me and my mum, OH waited at home! Lol) and I had tears in my eyes walking up them same corridors I walked up last April. Got given my wristband and shown my bed on the ward, it hit me then that my baby was going to be born today after I saw the baby cot at the end of the bed the midwife told me to get the babies outfit and nappy out and place in the cot, I got all flustered as I packed 8 and didn't know which to put on her haha but I chose the rainbow one eventually
She asked how I was feeding and I said bottle so she took my bottles to sterilise (big mistake! Never choose to bottle feed to keep your man happy the novelty of daddy feeding wore off when it came to night feeds and I'm gutted I didn't breastfeed )
I was told I was second on the list which would mean I go down at 10-10.30 about 7.50 my midwife I had asked for started her shift and told me we are going to theatre first!*
About 8.10am I was walking down to theatre, I took a seat next to the operating table because they weren't Ready, I started getting really scared by this point I could see the surgeon and assistants scrubbing their hands and arms, then the anaesthetist started to put the spinal in and the drip in my hand and I had to move my legs and lay down before I went numb. I remember feeling sick and they tilted the table to one side and put something in my hand think it was antibiotics. Then I was talking to my mum i cant remember what about and the midwife said baby would be out in a minute! I didn't even know they had started, panic set in and I felt sick and started shaking I don't know what they did to stop me feeling sick but it worked I kept asking if she was going to be ok and asking why she wasn't crying (she wasn't even out lol) I was so frightened. Then at 9.16am I saw my beautiful baby girl held up over the screen the cry was the best sound iv heard in my whole life, my mum went with her when she was taken away and had a tiny bit of oxygen and they got the colour in her and she was handed to me I couldn't stop crying shaking and smiling while they were stitching me up. After 38 weeks of what felt like torture I finally had My baby girl In my arms I was asking for hours if she was ok even though I was having cuddles, good things never happen to me and it took ages to sink in! *I have quite a big scar as they had to make it bigger to get her out as her head was crowned. I feel so lucky to have her!while I was in recovery the midwife told me the placenta was really bad condition again so I'm so grateful she was early and here all healthy and well and I know her big brother kept us safe we were only in hospital one night, molly screamed all night and there was one lady opposite with a baby boy, he was so quiet I think we kept them up all night ooops.
Iv probably missed loads out as iv rushed a bit while Molly is sleeping.
She is doing really well, sleeps all day and wakes all night I'm so tired but sleepless nights are what iv dreamt and wished for! we are off to hospital on 28th march as she has a clicky hip on the right side. I'm so in love with her she's such a princess and I can't imagine life without her, she's taught me how to smile again she just started fitting in her up to 1 Month and newborn clothes and already grown out of first size and tiny baby.
Thankyou to my lovely friend and bump buddy Gayle for being such a great support and for doing my birth thread and letting me text her at silly hours when I was panicking and to my other lovely friend Hannah for being my Facebook bump buddy and being there for me and all the other Pf ladies that have followed my pregnancy journeys and helped me through I love you all!*
Will upload some pics of the little Princess when I can get on a computer* xx
