Here’s our new wee man Elliot Jason Cramer was born today after a short labour. 

According to the hospital records:

Name:  Elliot Jason Cramer

Time of birth:  17:06

Weight:  3.32kg (7lb 5oz)

Labour first stage:  25 minutes

Labour second stage:  11 minutes

Labour third stage:  4 minutes

Vic didn’t muck around and we only just made it to the hospital in time (Elliot was born about 15 minutes after we arrived!)

Mother and child are doing well.

Contractions are 5.5 mins apart and over a minute long so we’d best be off….

Wish us luck!

Today it’s only two weeks to go until Vic’s due date!  If it’s like Max he/she could be here with us next week….

…… holy sterilised bottles Batman!

Vic’s results came back from her glucose tolerance test and everything is as it should be – yay!

It was a bit foggy here the other day….

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I think we’ve gone into a bit of a nesting mode before the baby comes along!  Vic’s been furiously sewing and cleaning and I’ve been sanding, staining and re-coating the cot, installing heaters in the bathroom, putting up curtain rails and such stuff

In other baby news we had an additional scan today.  Vic had her weekly meeting with the midwife and she was a bit concerned that baby’s measurements were the same as the previous two weeks and might meen that the baby has stopped growing.  Vic also had glucose in her urine which is a possible indicator of gestational diabetes.  If you remember we had the same thing last time. This would normally produce a larger baby (not smaller) but the scan today showed the baby to be spot on average (6lb 10oz) so all Vic needs to do now is undergo the same glucose tolerance test as last time and we’ll be sorted.

Only 2 1/2 weeks to go now……..

Say hello to the new Cramer He/she should be available for viewing on or about the 12th of May next year.
