Watching the birth of your first child is the most amazing thing in the world. Everyone had told me this beforehand, but it's hard to put into words what it is ACTUALLY like. I don't thnk I can do it justice just to say that it makes you feel ten foot tall and so happy.
After a lengthy labour we decided to go for a ceaserian as the baby was starting to feel a bit distressed and poop in his mum`s tummy. I am allowed to be in the operation theathre and brought along my D80 and JVC video camera with me. I taped it all..every single moments from the minute they cut her up to the time He-Boy came out from his mommy`s womb and taken out to the nursery. It has been a week since He-Boy is with us and since then we have been learning endlessly. You can't prepare yourself for it enough.
In just a few days there are so many questions we are still looking for answers too... like should you feed your baby again if they are sick after a feed? How can we tell if he is full? Should we top up with a formula? Why is he awake all night and sleep during the day? We're not sure of the answers but quite convinced will find the solutions as we go along.
So far it has been amazing. Don't underestimate the number of nappies you change, the amount of time spent feeding your baby or the amout of time you can go without sleep. The thing we have learnt so far is that feeding is the key - if He-Boy feeds well then he seems to stay a happy baby that sleeps well, but everyday there seems to be a new challenge.
Till then..ZZzzZZ
