After 41 weeks and 5 days the midwife came by at 4 pm yesterday to rupture my membranes and in so doing hopefully induce labour. When the waters broke we saw that little Saba had pooped in the fluid and that it was thus necessary to head to the hospital.
So off we went and sure enough the contractions started and just kept getting stronger. Starting with 5 minute intervals that quickly shortened to 3 minutes and by the time i was hooked up to the heart monitor and contraction checking thingie ma bobbie i was getting a contraction almost every minute! After 2 hours I was completely dilated and after 15 minutes worth of pushing out popped our little pink princess!
They say that the second delivery is fast but even we were not prepared for the speed of this - she was born in a quarter of the time of her brother.
I'll post some more later for now we're just enjoying our new family member.

Good job en heel hartelijk gefeliciteerd met de kleine princes, nu zijn jullie completer! Ik mis jullie en de kleine Scott en Jade heeft haar vriendje niet dichtbij om hem aan zn haartjes te trekken (arme Scott).
I think she looks adorable, but how could it be different with such wonderful parents. Lizzy, I hope she gives you some temper as you've had ONLY total relaxation with Scott.
I'll follow the blog and please keep contact/ Give everyone a very big hug for us!! Nuria, Raoul and little Jade

Its is so amazing that Saba is here already. It was just the other day when Scott was born. I suppose its true that time flies when you having fun!!! She is a pretty little girl... probably not so little. 4.165kg is a rather big baby, don't you think.
Congratulations to you and Mart and Scott!!! Enjoy the new addition to your family :-)
With love from South Africa
