Hospital and then Home

 Aimee and Seamus were in hospital for a while as Seamus had too much bilirubin which gave him jaundice. 

 Grandfather Kerry having a hold. 

 Grandy Geoghegan was also quickly on the scene.

We were allowed to go home last night (Friday) and hopefully will not have to go back.

The night was a shocker with Seamus feeding constantly but it is now a lovely sunny day and he even got to go for his first walk to the shops with us.

Aunty Kate dropped by to see us today.

Seamus Thomas Geoghegan

 Was born at 12:46am on the 9th of December.

In brief: waters broke 6am Sunday, Hospital 5:30am Monday for antibiotics, slow day, induction drugs started 3pm, epidural mid evening, fully dilated aprox 10pm, lots of pushing but no joy, little boy was pulled out by ventouse (suction cup on the head) at 12:46am. The little fella was posterior (facing Aimee's back) until the very end and also had his hand up by his head so that explained the non-arrival through pushing alone.

Birth weight 3.6kg or 7 pounds 15 ounces.

Due today!

We (well, me really) are due today! It's the 2nd of December so the little blighter is officially late from midnight. Now this really means nothing, most first babies are "late" which puts our kid right on time from any time now. It does increase the annoying phone calls from relatives "just checking in" on progress. I'm still absolutely fine, I swam today and went for a couple of good walks. I danced the night away at Pedro and Nic's wedding much to the discomfort of other people who wondered if I was in any state to be doing so. 

This is us at Pedro and Nic's wedding on Saturday. A lovely day but very hot for those of us in suits (the boys) and fat suits (the preggy girls). But lovely none the less. 

Hopefully the next update will be baby pictures but who knows!
