Just for the benefit of them as who remember me…
Well…its been a bit of fun in the Trashpuppy/miz-lilax household over the last week, the cats are seriously confused! Paula was booked in at Frimley Park Hospital on Wednesday 23/02 so she could be induced. This was due to a few slight complications throughout the pregnancy. On Sunday the 20th we decided to go last minute shopping before she pops…so Paula goes into M&S to look at lady stuff n I potter into Tesco’s next door to fill up the trolley. I get halfway through deciding between Tesco’s own BBQ sauce and Daddy’s BBQ sauce when I get a phone call…Paula thinks her waters have broken. She’s legged it over to Tesco’s as she didn’t know where the toilets are in M&S. I abandon trolley…grab first female member of staff (happens to be store supervisor) and panic ensues…loo’s get closed ambulance gets called and we get a free bag of nappies. Head over to hospital where they check her over and book her in. Twenty four hours later still nothing, no pain. no contractions,nothing, Nada, nicks, zero, zilch. They give her some gel to kick start stuff and baby goes into shock…doesnt like it so emergancy lights n people running around shouting and drips etc… They check her over again and realise her waters haven’t broken…it was something called hind water? god knows, anyway they break the waters and wait four hours. Still nothing! Due to baby’s dislike of the inducing gel they wheel her into surgwery, hook up a spinal block AND epidural and begin prep. Problem…Paula can feel them. Shes’s numb down to just above where they start work. So general anestheic, I get kicked out ansd wait…and wait…(i got kicked out at about 9pm). At 9.25pm, weighing in at 8pounds and 9.5 oz Euan Alex Baker was delivered safely. While under recovery mum then decided she wasnt getting enough attention so lost two litres of blood. Euan was wheeled into SCBU (pronounced scaboo…specialist care baby unit) as they where concerned about a few things…at midnight mum was wheeled into the recovery room where I was chewing my fingers off and at about half midnight I got to see my son. He is beautifull. A big old lump with all fingers toes etc. Theyve been running a barrage of tests which we are stilol waiting the results for as there are a few anomolies they dont like…so hes gotta get a full MOT before coming home. Hopefully Paula will come home today and baby will come home within the next week. Been in and out of recovery and scaboo for the last two days holding and feeding and just being a soppy dad. Anyway just needed to ramble and show off.
