My new Baby...

Post by Gareth » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:16 am

Ah...it's not a car.

As some of you know my wife is pregnant with our 2nd child but not due till the 10th Dec. Well last night my wife woke me a 11.55pm with some contractions. By 12.00am I had phoned the ambulance and by 12.12am I delivered my SON at home in my bedroom!!! Ambulance arrived 11.17.

I've never been so scared. Delivering the baby then realising the cord was round his neck so having to sort that without my wife knowing. Giving him a gentle shake until he started crying. Off in the ambulance and that's me just home. What a night!!

Both 'Nathaniel' and Emily are great. 6lb 15oz.
Don't know how I'm going to get to sleep now but my daughter will be up in 2.5hrs no doubt!

:D :D :D
