`Christian's birth

I was due to have my little boy on the 5th of february 2009.  I had a few names picked out but didnt decide until after he was born. I went to Campbelltown Hospital on the 19th of  January to be induced because the doctors said my baby was too small and might not survive. I was in labour for 4-5 hours but i didnt really reaslise, the midwives kept saying it was too soon to be in labour and the pains i was having was just normal and i should just keep waiting. By the time they realised i was having contractions i was already 8cm dialated so tehy rushed me straight into the room and called in the doctor, a few midwives and some other people. then i had my gorgeous little boy at 2:51pm. He weighed 2.5kg which was more than what they expected. He was 48cm long. At first he wouldnt feed but after a few hours he started. He was so tiny and fragile and i was scared to touch him because i didnt want to hurt him. We stayed in hospital for three days before i could take my little man home.

I named him Christian Jonah Daniel. I would like to thank all of my friends and family who supported me through my pregnancy and since having Christian. You have all been so great and i dont know how i would have coped without you all to talk to. :)

Here are some pictures that were taken at the hospital.
