Welcome back Kotter, indeed!

Head full. Body slightly shaky. Many thoughts chase away the sleep with a smile. One resounding sentiment surfaces...

IT IS FINISHED.

Flynn McArthur Blackmore has arrived- 7pound 1 on Monday morning 12 July at 11:20am.

"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty i'm free at last"



The pregnancy was nothing short of traumatic but the birth was beautiful. A moment of fullness, ripe and complete. I will blog my birth story very soon i promise but for now know that it was extremely good. Today i just wanted to dance over the delicious little things that have crossed my sleepy mind this morning....

- Okay my son is smelly. Who knew such a small bundle could fart with such potency? Flynn, i love you but you stink.-
- Mooo! woke up to wet rings of milkyness on my t-shirt. Hhhhm, milk's early. Happened last time. Totally forgot and suddenly
memories of that moment come flooding back to me. Sitting on my bed chattering away with my mother-in-law. It was a
shock then but today it's a comfort. An old familiar friend returning.-
- I can drink tea again! I can drink it without needing to throw up after! And for that matter i can drink booze and eat cheese
and freakin eat whatever i want whenever without fear of nausea or heartburn or indigestion.Thank you body.-

And lastly, God has never left me nor forsaken me. Never once, the whole 9 months. Even into the birth....especially into the birth. I feel fortified from the inside. Filled with God's strength for surviving 9 months of darkness.

Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty i'm free at last.
