My baby boy arrived May 15th 02:19am 38+2 12 days early.

I went in for a sweep 14th May at 12:30pm due to his measurements. I was 2-3cm I started getting cramping straight away. Within 10 hours the contractions went from 10 minutes apart to 3 and so intense so we went to L&D; at 10:30pm I was hooked up to monitor then they examined me at 11:30pm and I was 6cm so within half an hour I was down in delivery room. Contractions were coming every minute with no break in between. 1:15am they broke my waters and after this point I was constantly contracting and he was born 2:19am weighing 8lb 12oz. He went to SCBU overnight to help with his breathing but he was released the morning after. He is the image of his big brother and I am so in love with him and seeing his big brother being so amazing with him.

The past 9 days have been so tiring but so rewarding and I wouldn’t change my family for the world.

Arlo Thomas, you have completed our family 💙
