Well my first day away from Hayden is over.
I spent all day up at the hospital and spent the whole day cuddling and just watching him.
He had one good breastfeed and spent the rest of the day sleeping.
He just gets more and more beautiful every single day.
Even Mitchell had his first cuddle today. He loves his little brother and Hayden was so happy while he was in Mitchell's (and mine of course) arms.
Having a bit of a downer this afternoon. I just hate leaving him. It just sucks. I want him to be home with us, finally as a family. I want to be a proper mum to my son and not have midwives (as much as I love them) watching over every move and constantly asking did he wee? did he poo? how long did he feed for? both sides????? etc etc
Not long I suppose.
Well I am exhausted. Am going to go and lay on the couch. Not before I empty these boobies of course.

He's here!
Hi everyone..
As most of you know, our beautiful little man, Hayden Jack Fogg arrived on Monday, 10th of September 2007 at 8.25pm.
He was born 5 weeks early and weighed in at a whopping 3.15kgs (or 6 pound, 15 oz).
The caesarean went as well as can be expected (apart from me nearly falling off the table and the spinal block/epidural taking 25 mins to be inserted which nearly resulted in me having to be knocked out but will tell you about that at a later date) and I have recovered exceptionally well. A huge difference to the caesar with Mitchell.
Unfortunately Hayden is still in hospital and will be for maybe another week. He is having some feeding issues so we need to get that sorted before he can join us at home. I will be going back and forth from the hospital as I did with Mitchell, every day and night to feed, but just no where near the 70 odd days we did with him.
You can see all his photos here:

I have to warn you though. There are a couple of caesar pics and some breastfeeding shots so be warned.
Mitchell is still a little iffy. I think it's mainly because Hayden isn't home with us and also because Mitchell is well and truly over being dragged back and forth from the hospital. The poor mite. He does talk of Hayden all the time and I think we will be fine when Hayden comes home. We can't believe Mitchell is a big brother. He all of a sudden seems so grown up.
Well that's about it from us for now.
Hope you are all well and look forward to you all meeting Hayden if you haven't already.
Much love..
The Foggs XO

How things can change...
Well.. After spending Tuesday night in hospital with false labour pains and having a scan done on Wednesday, it has been decided H will make an appearance within 7-10 days.
At the scan I had, it was discovered that H is estimated to weigh approx 3.9kgs already at 34 weeks and 4 days. his head circumference has been estimated at 36.9cms which is well and truly the size of a large full term baby. Oh dear! Thank god I ain't pushing that one out.
So this is the plan...
Steroids were give today and yesterday, see OB on Monday to decide which day and out he comes. Ideally I would love to get to at least 36 weeks but I don't know if emotionally I can do it. I can't stop thinking that H will go to sleep like J did. Sounds silly I know, but that's what happens after you have gone through something like that.
I just want this rollercoaster to be over. After going through what we did with M, we know that the majority of time, babies are better out that in when they have freaking out parents.
35 weeks on Saturday...
So I guess I will let you know on Monday what happens....
Aaaarrggggghh!!!!

Braxtons have hit...
After complaining that I have never experienced BH's contractions they hit today with a vengenace. So much that I had to stop in my tracks at times. They thankfully don't last to long.
30 days to go - 29 needles to go.
I received my packed from Bump, Baby and Beyond today. The clothes are gorgeous. But the sizes aren't very generous. Don't think they will fit bub for to long but that's ok. They were to cute and cheap to pass up.
Had 2 sleeps today while M was at Kindy. Feel like I could go to bed again right now. Early night for me no doubt.
Well better feed these animals.
XOXOXO
