Sharon struggling through labour.

Sharon in the bath. The warm water did a good job of reducing her discomfort, but she got chilled very quickly, which exhausted her far more than the labour had been.

Another bath photo, obviously suffering...

A nice reflective shot.

Sharon and Lex's first feed. Took him about an hour to find the nipple and latch on. These days they recommend letting the baby find the breast on it's own, and attach in its own time. Causes less problems, in most cases.

One of a sequence of shots, all of which are nice.


God life is hard!

Oz and Son, Bastards to the Discerning Gentry

And for all those other mum's out there who feel a bit ripped off that Shaz had a comparitively easy run, a shot of Sharon straight after the birth in which she looks a bit pale and drained. She did better than most, but it still knocked the stuffing out of her.

Both of our kids were born with the only pain relief being gas, and Calli used back massage for the first one as her primary pain relief and for the second one it was chanting, so it's fascinating reading how other people got through.
You realise the fun has only just started? (Mr 3year old is currently sick in front of the telly and Mr 9month old is trying to pull himself up on things)

Was going to say something pithy about Sharon being awake and smiling and Danny sleeping but couldn't think of anything.
Lex looks gorgeous. Let the games begin!

Lex's expression is very much "WTF? It's cold! It's dry! What is all this 'light' stuff?"
