Ethan George Hadley

Just a very quick one to say that, as you may have guessed by my silence, our Son was born at 6:38am Monday 6th August 2012, just 2 hours before we were due at the hospital to be induced at 13 days overdue! Ethan George Hadley was born at home, as planned in our bedroom and I somehow did it without any pain relief at all, even though he arrived weighing an epic 10 lbs 13oz!

Ethan is healthy, happy and totally perfect. The Hadley family are overjoyed he has arrived and so proud of him already. Daddy has been so amazing at looking after Mummy and Ethan and we are very lucky to have our extended family around us helping out.

One quick thing is that I cannot stress enough just how amazing giving birth at home is and how much I would suggest trying it if possible, as obviously each pregnancy is very different. The atmosphere was relaxed, even through the pain and difficulty of labour and once Ethan was born it was lovely to have him bought straight to me in our own bed and home with everything here. I love that the first place he experienced was his home.

More at some point soon; expect home birth, bigger babies and the thoughts and feelings of a new Mummy!
