I woke up at 6am yesterday morning (Tuesday 9th of January) to find Schatzi in stage one labour – she decided she was going to go three days early! She stayed in this stage for most of the day.

At about 3.30-4pm she started to have contractions and passed some fluid. She started really going in full labour at around 5.30pm.

At 6.45pm she gave birth to an enormous boy – he was just over 600g. After that we had two more boys and I thought we were going to be seeing only boys! I crossed everything I had and just before 9pm we had two girls in pretty quick succession.

Schatzi then had a fair break as she was feeling pretty tired. She got to work again at around 1045pm and in the following 50 minutes produced another boy and another girl. This left us with a grand total of 7 – 4 boys and 3 girls. To those who I said my gut told me we were having 7 – I was right!!!

Here is the full breakdown:

1845 – Blue boy – 601 grams
1947 – Green boy – 556 grams
2008 – Red boy – 510 grams
2053 – Pink girl – 453 grams
2109 – Purple girl – 455 grams
2245 – Yellow boy – 529 grams
2332 – White girl – 467grams

All babies and mum are looking healthy and happy and are doing really well so far.
