Well here she is!
Well here she is...
Quite an early & quick start for us this morning. I got into the hospital ward at around 08:30 this morning after Julie spent the night there. She had her pre-op checks the afternoon before and decided at that time that she'd just stay in.
Within 30 mins of me being there Julie was being gowned up and both of us walked down to the theatre. The operation started just off the back of 10 and at 10:20 this morning baby Krystal came into the world at a surprising 8lbs 7.
By around 11:15 we were through in the Recovery Room and that's where we stayed for the vast majority of the day until a bed was made available within the ward.
Julie has been a bit uncomfortable and the pain has been a bit intense at times but compared to the Emergency C-Section she had with Kory it's all seemed a lot more relaxed and controlled. Here's a picture of mum and baby enjoying a hug about an hour after the operation.
At 14:00 Krystal's new big brother arrived to meet her for the first time. Kory didn't seem overly bothered to be honest, he was more interested in all the medical stuff lying around and poking & prodding at the pipes Mum had in her arm. He did however bring her a present, which was her first teddy bear. Krystal also had a present for Kory which was a Numberjacks DVD (one of his favourite programmes) which he seemed chuffed to bits with. 
After visiting time was over Kory headed back home with Auntie Laura and we all decided to have a bit of a chill-out for a bit. Julie had something to eat for the first time in 18 hours and Krystal had a bit of sleep with her new teddy.
Finally when we did get up to the ward (around 18:00) we got everyone settled in and then spent a bit of time getting to know eachother. Krystal is already showing the signs of being a Daddy's girl by falling asleep on me within minutes of us sitting down. Needless to say I followed quickly after her :)Anyway, bedtime for me. Another busy day tomorrow as Krystal is going to meet her Auntie Laura, Gran and Tom for the first time. We'll let you know how they get on ;)

CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL. She is just beautiful. Kory is going to be the best big brother and I think he will be very protective of her. Fantastic, and well done. Wendy (Australia)

Gratulerer med dagen! (means Happy Birthday in Norwegian) to baby Krystal Charlotte.
Hope all went well and that you enjoy having one of each (no need for any more now!)
