Today was the MOST amazing experience i've ever had... Today I got to witness the birth of my new baby nephew...and I didn't even FEEL faint!!...It all began at 3:45 this morning when we got a call from Simone...Mum and I got our stuff together and headed to the Hospital picking up Jessica on the way we arrived at the Hospital at around 5:30am...
After a long wait and not much action Lisa, Mum and I headed off to Aromas for some brekky at about 7:45am...
...8:45am we arrive back to find Simone and Simon missing...they'd done a runner...not a very fast one mind you...
We found them wandering around the park...
This was to try and bring the labour on quicker and it worked...we got some looks as we quickly took up our assigned roles... Here is Lisa timekeeping and Simon checking she's getting it right...Simone is the one in labour and mum is busy liasing with everyone...
Ooh and here's me...once i'd finished my half time entertainment...I got to be the chief water person during our walk...AND count the contractions...
Finally at 11:35am it was all over and the little one had arrived...
8 pounds 14... and 53cm long...
He obviously gets his good looks from his Aunty:)
Stay tuned for the name...Simone and Simon are still deciding:)

How exciting for you all. It's qite something isn't it? That is why wer'e the stronger sex. Job well done!!! Lorraine.
Oh Collette - I was so excited to hear what you thought of it all. It is the hardest but most amazing thing you will ever go through personally. I was with my friend Naomi when she had her first baby - it was before I had kids. I was so amazed at how much pain she was going through and so worried for her and felt so helpless, but then it was all over and it was incredible!
So glad you got to experience it before you have your own kids. He is a cutie - I went and had a cuddle tonight.
ha ha - I just re-read your blog! Glad you cleared up that Simone was the one in labour! I wouldn't have known other wise! ;)
You look like a very proud Auntie Collette
