We have just bought a yacht and we are soo excited to live DH's dream, amazingly I luv sailing and can't wait for the weekends and pray hard for wind. We have had a great run of glorious weekends with no wind but it's been great just to get out there.

GOODLUCK to you all and it's great to see you all so close to holding your little ones.

Congrats Fingers Crossed!
What wonderful news for you and how awesome are you to go Panadeine alone. I assume that is a great a achievement!
Look fowards to the birth story!

Hi girls,

Sorry for my lack of post. So went in for my induction last Saturday morning after a couple of false alarms and I was 4cm before they began. I was started on syncto and had my water broken, contractions became pretty intense within about 45 mins. I made it to about 90 mins before deciding to get an epidural, I thought I was being a massive wus but turns out I had progressed to 8-9cm in that time so I actually did pretty well. The epidural was an ordeal, I have a damage lower spine and it took the anethetist 4 tries and about 30 minutes of prodding to get it in, the contractions were the worst during this bit but it was worth it once she finally got it in and I got some relief. It took 90% of the pain away but I could still feel when the contractions were happening and the pressure changing which was good as it meant I could tell the midwife when I thought baby was ready about and hour later and I was able to feel what I was doing when the pushing started something I didn't have last time. Alexis Vera (Lexie) was born at 1.15pm after less then 4hrs labour, weighing 3.22kg, 47cm long and beautiful.
She is settling in well, and I feel like I'm recovering quicker then I did with my first.
I was worried about bonding second time around but it was so natural I feel like she's always been mine.

Hope you are all well holding your bubs or counting down xx
