Time to introduce you to my son :) His full name is Niko Florian Baker. His first name is greek and there isn't a reason why we chose it other than just liked it. His middle name is after my grandad as it's also his middle name. My grandad always been like a father to me that I've never had and he always calls me 'his little daughter' :') . Well I got pregnant October 2012 and it was fully planned with Andy :) We were so excited ! My pregnancy was soo easy.. I didn't have any symptoms other than morning sickness that lasted 4 days :) I first felt Niko's kick at 18 weeks :D We actually did hope for a girl and when we found out it was a boy, I actually cried after and I was really upset.. But now I love my lil boy of course!!!
He was due 31st of July 2013. I got pregnant at age of 17 but gave birth at age of 18. I've never knew that kind of love that you feel for your child until I held him for the first time. I kept changing names that I wanted and everyone was just laughing at me... First he was meant to be Nathan, then Kaiden,,, aw there was lots of names but he ended up being Niko and it really suits him :) . He was born 8 days overdue on the 8th of August 2013.
My labour was easy in a way and not in another... 7th of August at 7pm I was babysitting my lil brother at my place and I got one of these tightenings that I was getting anyway and suddenly something felt like a pop in my lower bump and suddenly got a sharp pain! I knew that was it! I didn't have any labour signs before except I had a sweep 2 days before and midwife was so shocked as I was dilated 2cm, and she could feel the babys head really easily and she was shocked that im not in an actual labour.. lol oh by the way, the day I started contracting was my dad's in law birthday :D at 11pm, we headed to the hospital and Andy's dad gave us a lift and waited in a car just in case if we had to go back home. I was in the waiting room for ages! I think till almost 1am! When midwife checked me, I was 5cm and lost my water so she put me on a bed when I was meant to wait to be taken into the delivery unit but when Andy went to grab my bags from the car and when he came back (about 10mins) I got a contraction and I actually shouted cuz it really fucking hurt! :D the midwife ran to me and checked me again...well, i was 10cm and actually pushing! :o
They rushed me to the delivery unit and kept telling me not to push! I was meant to have a water birth and they actually had a pool available but it was too late for me :'( ! I didn't even get a chance to get changed, midwife had to quickly undress me and told me to push.. I was pushing for over 2 hours... the worst part was, that I had a back labour and no one knew why as Niko was in a normal position and my back felt like its going into halfs with every contraction... ouch! ;< . I really didn't have strenght to push his head out so the midwife had to cut me... oh fucking hell, never want that done to me again!! Andy at first was really good, passing me a cup of water, holding gas and air thing... but then he was fainting so midwife told him to sit down. When Niko's head was out, he started crying straight away and the midwife was laughing as it wasn't his time quite yet :) Then...there he was... at 4:36am little tiny human full in blood, crying.. midwife put him under my top straight away and then it kicked in... The love for my few seconds old child.. Andy still couldnt look.. he didn't even manage to cut the cord hahaha :D . Poor guy... he went through hell there ^^ I had stitches put on then just spent a full day in hospital because he was sleeping all day and we couldnt wake him up to breastfeed.
Now he is the most perfect, healthy little boy that loves everything and everyone! Can't believe how quickly he's growing but I try to enjoy every second of him being still kind of small. I can't even remember him being a newborn anymore :( . Everyone fell in love with him the minute they saw him. He is such an easy baby! He never wakes up more than twice a night, he doesn't need attention but of course he enjoys it :) he plays on his own and doesn't mind it! He loves his jumperoo thou :D he is a really lively baby and I kind of hope he will stay that way :D next week we hope to put him into his own room so we can get some privacy back :) Yes, I do say Andy is the love of my life.. because he is... but the love I have for him and Niko is different. They both mean the world to me and I can't imagine my life without them! Andy is such a great dad as well... he does the night feeds and plays with him whenever.. but i can tell you one thing ;) Niko is a mummy's boy! That's for sure! :D
Thanks for reading :)
