Announcing the birth of Isla Isobel Mavis on March 9, 2007 at 2:45am This was my second VBAC and first homebirth (planned HBs for all three kids but this is the first one that "stuck" LOL...)

Labour began at around 9:30 and didn't get regular till about 10:30 so we had a pretty fast labour and delivery (always a good thing!)

Isla is nursing like a champ and Niamh is trying to get used to the concept of sharing her bubbies but I think it will take some time. Niamh really loves her baby sister though so I think it will be okay in a few days.

Weight: 8lbs. 2 ozs.
arrival/Comments: After 41 hours of labor he finally decided to make his entrance. We labored at home for 30 hours before we transfered to the first hospital because the baby was in a bad position, and I was not progressing.... once we got to that hospital they decided they could not do anything for us, so they transfered us by ambulance to the next hospital an hour and a half away!! Finally 11 hours later he came out in a only 3 pushes!! He also loves his mommy's boobies!!

DOB: March 16, 2007 @ 9:01am
EDD: March 7
Height: 22.5 inches
Weight: 11 lbs. 2.4 oz.
arrival/Comments: 31 hours of labour. Had an epidural as I had been in labour all day and not dilated more than the 3cm I started at. Also was augmented in the middle there, but also had my vag delivery of my big posterior baby - via trial by forceps in the OR. The Dr. was great though and allowed me to push for over 3.5 hrs in two sessions (with an epidural nap in the middle).

Our babe was sent to NICU for grunting and laboured breathing, and they kept him after his cord blood work was done. There was meconium staining and they suspected infection so he was put on antibiotics and wasn't allowed to eat for 48 hrs.

Nursing has been difficult with our NICU experience, but we are making progress. He's a fighter and a big healthy boy now and we are so glad to finally have him home!
