7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol 78)

1
There are definite benefits to birthing in a country hospital, and a number of times at that;)  Over the years we have got to know the majority of the staff, and they all took such excellent care of us.  Very personalised.

I was reflecting during my stay in maternity how the simple, little moments bring pleasure.  That first shower after birthing, meal times, being able to shave your legs again;) quiet time with just you and your newborn.

I’ve experienced births in; a birthing centre, home birth and hospital.  There is alot to be said for being in a hospital when all does not go well.  I am very grateful for competent, professional care.

However I am thrilled to be home as our handsome, placid boy settles into family life.  Visiting time with siblings can be chaotic in the hospital and I do miss waking up next to my husband.

Our little man is such a long baby that he will be lucky to be in 000s for a month.
