p.s

He has his father's curly hair.
Only, as Brennen says, more of it. ;)

SPROG POPPED!

On April 11th, 12.01pm.
We got our little Easter Bunny.

After three days of labour and extensive tearing and stitches, Parker arrived! Without an epidural, so I'm stoked.
Worth every ounce of pain.

21 1/2 inches long, 8lbs9oz.

Very happy but sleepy family.
More when we've caught up on some rest.

We're off to the hospital for a nonstress test!
Wish us luck!

Dear Parker

Dear Parker.

I'm sorry I've been the most impatient woman in the world lately.
When I've acted angry or sad, or jokingly threatened you with spankings should you not pop out, it's all been because I am *very* excited to meet you.
In fact I will not spank you for every day late.
And I will not confiscate pudding for every day late.
Instead I promise to love you and adore you and positively melt the first time I see your face.
So, despite estimated dates and stupid doctors and stupid machines, I'd just like to say...

You take your time.
You come out when you're ready.
Because I can wait.

Because you are worth it.

And because I love you very, *very* much.

I look forward to meeting you, darling.
Whenever it may be.

Sparkles and kisses.
xxx-Mum.

Anyone else bored yet?
After I write a small note to Parker, I'm going to bed. ;)

Relax

Today I'm going to spend the day in bed even though it is glorious outside.
I have a wicked toothache (because, I assume, yesterday I prayed for pain and blood...assuming makes an ass out of God).
There's nothing I can do to bring baby on and it doesn't feel like he's coming.
Tomorrow I go to the hospital to have a 'nonstress' test.
On a plus side my mum can come and listen to his heartbeat in person.
They'll tell us what to do from there.

Sparkles,
xxxS.
