On Tuesday, 28 February 2012, Mumma K and Mumma B arrived at the hospital at 6am ready to meet little Peanut. This was the last photo of Mumma K with Peanut in her belly.
Mumma K and Mumma B were taken to the surgery theatre and about half an hour later, at 8.26 am, I arrived. I came out with a lot to say. I had nine, quiet months inside Mumma K, so I had to let everyone know what I was thinking immediately. Mumma K and Mumma B said I screamed down the theatre.
It didn't take long for me to settle down. Mumma B cut my umbilical cord. She thought this was awesome.
I was so excited when I got to have a cuddle with Mumma K and Mumma B while they fixed Mumma K's tummy. They were super-surprised when I looked right at them when they talked to me. I don't know why they were surprised, I knew who they were right away.
After a little while Mumma B and the midwife, Rhonda, took me to the nursery to check that I was okay. I weighed 3.275 kg (7 lbs, 4 oz) and measured 49cm (20 in) in length.
My blood sugar was a little low, so Mumma K was allowed to leave recovery early to feed me and try to raise my blood sugar level. I was so excited to see her because being away from her felt really strange. Mumma K loved cuddling me.
Mumma K and Mumma B spent a long time just sitting and staring at me. I was really tired. It was a big day, so I slept a lot on the first day.
Dr. James came to visit me in the afternoon. He is such an amazing doctor. He kept me and Mumma K safe for the entire time I was in Mumma K's tummy and he also helped to get me out!
That afternoon I met my grandparents, Dude and Pappas for the first time.
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. Stay tuned for my update about Day 2!
Beautiful pictures!
