Cat Stevens Father and Son 4:21 (I know, fully stereotyped)

Here I am where’s the party?

At 11:24pm last night after a long long day trying to give birth the good old natural way Sadie Elizabeth Blundell came into this world through C Section.

Death from Above 1979 – Little Girl 5:22

Have been up since 2, Sarah’s contractions getting to the serious side, so probably next 24 hours and there’ll be another ugly Blundell mug walking the earth.

Gonna go now, can’t leave Sarah by herself like this

Another extraction today, I’m fucking sore and fucking grumpy

U2 – Where The Streets Have No Name 7:12

Today I Sat through a mildly interesting Traffic Management Course, I now have a Transit ticket to legally set up all manner of things to slow you down and piss you off on the road.
Of course, I would much prefer to be on the job learning other interesting thing’s, but its good to get as much pre trade in before they send me to Christchurch/ Timaru.

Cia’s mum called yesterday to ask if there were still only two of us, and I told her I’m sure it’ll be this Thursday, so everyone, watch this space Thursday the 19th of Feb, I have a hankering.
So far it’s been an interesting trip, initially on finding out, Cia was crying, I drank myself stupid and I think I smoked a box of Dunhill Red’s outside while gazing off into oblivion.
Telling everyone, Growing up/ finding a career, Shifting from my beloved Petone, and Greater Wellington, Dr’s visit’s, Seeing family (mine and hers) , Pre Natal Classes, The expanding belly- hormones and uncomfortable nights.

So many people I want to thank for so many thing’s, I’m sure I can do this at a later date.

Thanks for keeping up to date

The Pixies – Hey 3:27

Baby is now 38 weeks old, so Sarah’s gonna pop any day now, questions are now being tossed around as to what I exactly want to do during the labour, holding the hand, massaging the back and trying not to faint seems to be the jist of what I’m comfortable with right now, I’ve been asked if I would like to cut the cord, no thanks… not for me.

I’ve worked in a butchery, I’ve worked in a kitchen played with countless tools for cutting etc etc, but something about cutting through something that is technically living just throws me off a little, clamped or not.
I’ve just been asked if I want to give baby his/her first bath, this is something I’m a little more comfortable with, of course I’m even a little worried I’ll fuck that up at this stage – but in the interest of not becoming a cabbage father and not trying the simplest of tasks I’ll roll my sleeves up and do it, It’s good to bond early on.

P.S I just saw Zack and Miri make a porno, I fucking loved it.

John Mayer – Clarity 4:15

You know its been a good week of work when you just want the weekend to hurry the f*ck up.
Spent most of yesterday afternoon learning how veiwcCAD works, so I should now be able to find cable faults on my lonesome…

I’m a bit on edge this morning, I had a truly fucked dream last night, apparently (in my dream) I had gone tramping at some point, I was looking through photo’s of my trip and a tall pale figure was behind me in the bulk of them, in the last 2 or 3 images the figure had a face, clear as day.

Its not anyone I know, but that face is etched in my memory still, he wasn’t a scary looking bloke, seemed approachable, still what the hell was he doing standing around or behind me, who is he? what does this dream mean?

I’m betting on Baby dropping this coming Thursday, Sarah’s getting really close (and really stroppy) The midwive has told us (hopefully) any time in the next 4 weeks, as baby is engaging – so we’ve been going through the birth plan, packing the hospital bag and preparing to welcome our little one to the world, still no idea what the sex is, I’m glad we didn’t find out now, its making it that much more exciting.
