What a wonderful bundle of joy...and, just in time to celebrate the holidays

and all your blessings...a child is the ultimate blessing...even though four

will be a challenge for awhile (LOL)!!

[aromatherapy] AL's update/NOT AT

 

 

Hi all,

 

Logged on for a quick check on friends in NY and decided that as I'm here,

I'd let you know the latest:

 

Theodore Stewart Clive Petrides was born on Nov. 12 at 2:14 am. He was

8pounds 5.6 ounce and 19.1/2 inches long.

 

A successful VBAC! I went in and was 8 dialated and labor stalled, (probably

because I was worried about being in the hospital LOL), so I watched Seattle

beat the Raiders (Am. Football) between contractions, watched the plumber

waltz in and start working on the sink (very surreal) etc.

 

At 11pm, was still only 8, and after having been doing this since 1 am,

bellowed for an Epi. I got it. Rested and then after 3 pushes, the boy was

born.

 

His color sucked. He had also swallowed mecconium, after all that was dealt

with, my 2nd degree tear (only 7 stictches) was sewn up.

 

Theo is a very placid fellow, a lousy breast feeder, but he's learning. Glad

he's here FINALLY! LOL

 

There you go,more than you wanted to know!

 

I probably won't be back much for a little while. Husbands already gone back

to work, so I've got my hands full with the 4 kids!

 

Take care ALL!

Cheers!

Kathleen Petrides
