New family addition

[ba229]

At 6.20am Sunday morning my wife gave birth to our 2nd child William James.

It is amazing that only 3 hours after delivery mum, bub and myself are all home recovering.

For the technical types he weighed 3.535kg or 7 lbs 13 Oz.

It was hard on all of us but I came away feeling pretty good ;D ;D

Thanks for all the well wishes guys.

The way it goes in some hospitals now is whats called a birth centre. The idea is to have the baby and send you on your way and the midwife visits you at home every day for a week.

The max. we could have stayed at the hospital was 24 hrs unless there was a problem.

Suits us fine as it always feels better to be home anyway.

Last time my wife stayed in for 4 days :o and in that time they taught her how to feed, wash and generally care for the baby. Got me wondering what 1st time mums do now if they only have 24 hr.

Anyway the dynamics of our house has changed forever and our 1st child is starting to wonder why she isn't centre of attention anymore :)

I know giving birth must be a strain on the mums body but atleast she would have hormones coursing through her body (ie thats why they do it again and again), but us poor fathers get nothing.

I am going to ask for some strong drugs if I have to go through it again ;D
