been a long, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy time!!!
mostly because of this thing-
Her name is Maia, and she was born at home at 4.01am on Friday 8th of October!
She was born in our bath, weighing a teeny tiny 2.69kg (5lb 14oz), after a quickish & easyish labour, with no difficulties or complications then or since!!
Her timing was pretty much perfect, at 38 weeks + 3 days gestation, because we had spent the beginning of the week checking out geothermal wonders 4 hours away from home in a campervan with a broken alternator (so no battery charge, we drove the last hour to home at night with NO lights!!!!), and then after dropping the van back up north only got home at 10.30pm thursday, with me having had intermittent contractions (20-40min apart) all the way home!
But she also managed to sneak in on the last day of the school holidays, so we got an extra 3 days of daddy being at home than if she had arrived once the term had started!
So an excellent time to make her arrival, if cutting it a bit fine ;-)
but anyway, i've got plenty of things to share that i managed to get done in the lead up, that got delayed with several weeks of school production chaos, and a couple of things that i've even done since!! :-D
