I have had the most exhausting and exciting week all rolled into one!
Trudy finally has her little baby boy in her arms, after a roller coaster ride to the end of her pregnancy. Little Jasper was given until 16 days over his due date to make his appearance, but in the end he needed a little nudge. Induction started on Wednesday morning at 7am, and he finally decided to grace us with his presence at 3.41pm on the Thursday afternoon. Now I'm not even going to complain about the exhaustion of being up for 36 hours straight, cause its nothing compared to the way Trude must have been feeling - tired beyond belief. Of course she got a second wind when she got to meet her perfect little boy and those lovely birthing hormones flowed right through the both of them as their love affair began.
Oh, just amazing to witness new parents meet and fall deeply in love with the little person that they have grown over the previous 9 months. Its such a precious moment to be involved in and something that I hope to never take for granted.
I'm still writing up little Jasper's beautiful birth story, but the gorgeous little boy was born at 3.41pm on Thursday the 13th August. He weighed a sturdy 4004gms (8lb 13oz), 57cm long and with a 36 cm head. He is such a handsome little boy, with lots of strawberry blonde hair and beautiful deep blue eyes. He is so tiny and gorgeous and just the epitome of newborn perfection. He's a cruisy settled little boy, who after not having any interest for the first few days, has taken to breastfeeding like a champ now. He's doing everything just perfectly and has got being ridiculously cute and cuddly down pat.
Trude is doing fantastically. I always knew that she would be great at the physical side of mothering, but her emotional maternal side has surprised me. Her heart has been stolen by this little boy and her maternal side is out and proud. I love seeing her soft side, watching her tenderly stroke and kiss her newborn son as she inspects every part of him. She's just so calm and content, very relaxed and just enjoying this beautiful newborn period.

Ok, well I'm off to write out my lines as directed by my husband:
No more babies for a few years
No more babies for a few years
No more babies for a few years
No more babies for a few years
And so on, and on, and on.

Oh, but Kirsten, you make such pretty ones!!! :S
Everyone thinks Gez and I will have another one, but I feel like I've left it too late now...I dunno. Three kids is a lot of extra expenses esp if you are deciding to send them to private schools etc.
On the other hand, they are just so darn irrisistable!! I'm a huge baby person, LOVE them, have ever since I was a child :) \
If they only stayed that way longer.....
