(aka Baby No. 2)

So much for making plans. Kim had some bleeding yesterday night (morning of 25th) so we went to the labour ward to get Kim and baby checked out. The bleeding stopped, restarted, stopped, and baby seemed settled. As the day went on Kim started to have contractions, which got closer and closer together late on the 25th. By early morning the decision was made to deliver Annabel by C-section and the surgery went well.

Annabel was born 7 weeks prematurely, and started breathing pretty much on her own. She was pink, wriggly and grunting at birth, and was well cared for by the staff.

Annabel weighs 1.53kg. She’s now in the special care baby unit, and Kim is recovering. Both are doing OK. Jack is very excited to have a tiny baby sister.
