\"Faith<\/a>Welcome to the world, Faith Emily Lane. <\/p>\n

Yup, I am now well and truly out-numbered, and am doomed to live in a house of women. <\/p>\n

Even my cat is a girl \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Twitter was down today (typical!) so my twitter followers were spared minute-by-minute updates on the labour. Probably the best for all concerned, actually. <\/p>\n

Faith is absolutely perfect. She weighed 8lbs (why is that always the first thing people tell you?), and all the tests so far have showed no problems. <\/p>\n

Everything started early this morning, at about 3am. And Faith was born at about 10:30am. <\/p>\n

Our plans for a relaxing home birth<\/a> went a little awry. Baby was fine, but Mummy tore an artery during labour and bled. Lots. Over two and half litres, which looks like a lot when it’s going over your sitting room floor. <\/p>\n

A little panic, a 999 call, and a ride in an ambulance later, and she was taken into theatre so they could stop the bleeding. <\/p>\n

That bit wasn’t so much fun.<\/p>\n

\"Faith<\/a>But she’s out now, and Mum and baby are both resting. (And the doctors assure us that after some meds, iron tablets, a few blood tranfusions and a couple of nights being observed here in Winchester hospital, Mum should be fine.)<\/p>\n

Photos will follow the next time I go near a computer<\/strike> (done!<\/em>). Sadly, I didn’t take as many as I did with Grace immediately after she was born. The panic of watching midwives trying to stop an arterial bleed kinda meant that my camera got forgotten. <\/p>\n

No matter, I’m sure I’ll more than make up for that in the days and weeks to come, with hundreds (if not thousands) of photos. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
