HI all.
It finally happened. Baby Erin Jean arrived on August 4th at 3:49pm. After a horrendous labour and delivery involving a cut and a tear and 3L of blood loss and being rushed off to surgery straight from delivery, poor mother will be recovering for a while and bubs is just fine.
Our IVF journey was a quick one after we struck gold on our first cycle.
Do I believe in god...you bet I do. In fact I was so frightened while my wife was in surgery, I made a deal with god that he could take anything of mine if he would only ensure the safe return of my wife. I'm now waiting to hear what he will ask of me.
