My first Day didn’t really go to plan….oops

My Dad was having a lovely shower before work when my Mummy came running into the bathroom (around 8:30am), Mummy said to Daddy I think Isabella is on her way. Daddy said “get lost, no way”.

The problem was I was not due to be born for another 6 weeks, it was a shock, but I was too excited to wait.

Mummy and Daddy quickly rushed to get things ready for the trip to the hospital. On the way to the hospital my Daddy played games to wind my Mummy up, like blowing in her ear.

Actually to correct you I was trying to relax Mummy to take her mind away and keep her calm, note to future Isabella: this is called “two sides to every story” 🙂 Tip: give people the story you want them to believe.

Anyway back to the story. My Mummy and Daddy rushed to the hospital and arrived safely at 10am.

Question to Mummy and Daddy what took you so long its only a 30min drive….?

Arriving at the hospital Daddy had to wait in the car while Mummy and I went to get checked. The Doctor told Mummy I was on my way…

Daddy joined Mummy in the delivery room at 11am. Daddy’s statement of events: ” I joined Donna in the delivery room I was immediately given a job role, midwife said use this and fan Donna. I was quickly moved into a promotional position to drug dealer. I started supplying Gas and Air at 11:30am it was quite a successful business venture and Mummy got really high . Donna was doing really well in fact so well that within 45min Isabella was born, just over 2 hours from arriving and only 4 hours ago from my lovely shower. How life can change within a few hours”

Mummy entered the delivery room at 11am. Mummy’s statement of events: “I got to the delivery suite and the nurse put monitors on my belly to listen to your heartbeat, my contractions started to hurt and get closer.

I was quickly moved to a delivery room where I met Daddy and the Midwife Sarah who was lovely and had bright pink hair. The Midwife told me to get comfy and you will be here soon and we didn’t have much time!

Daddy gave me the Gas and Air. I started to sing Push it by salt and pepper (link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCadcBR95oU) in my head as it was the song I pick first form my Labour playlist. Trouble was I couldn’t get it of repeat in my head.

I remember hearing you cry and I knew you had arrived.

I obviously don’t really remember that much about the experience.

I will try to describe Isabella statement of events:

“ I was just chilling having a nice sleep then all of a sudden I was getting squashed and pushed from all directions. I managed to see a light, the light was so bright it hurt my eyes. I crawled headfirst down through a tunnel that was closing in around me (kind of like an Indiana Jones movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZASXqTfAi4) I managed to escape only to find a room full of aliens wearing masks? They started to poke at me and put things on my face, this lasted for around 30min. I got quite bored at this point and went to sleep……

It was quite an eventful day for my Mummy and Daddy, but they have no idea what’s in store for them now I am here………. 🙂 ha ha
