With the pain gone I was able to relax while the machine continued to tell us when the contractions were and how strong they were, about double what they had been.
I chilled out with Adam and the midwife, chatting about this and that for a couple of hours.
The midwife, a lovely lady, asked us what we were going to call the baby.
What a question! We still were not sure, Lilly Eva was on the cards but we both really liked Eva as a first name and I wanted Nancy to be in the name because of my Grandmother, Annie (nickname Nancy(no idea why!)) Bridgeman, and Lilly Nancy was no good because both names ending in "y" sounded odd to me. So we settled on Eva Nancy and although we were not totally convinced at first, within minutes of Eva being born I loved it.
At about 11.50 the doctors came in to check that all was well. They were happy with everything and so went out into the corridor to chat and wait. Then at midnight the midwife called them in urgently. The baby was distressed. In went the forceps and they flipped the baby round as she was facing the wrong way, then is was "Push, Push, Push" and out she came. By 12.10am on the 26th Eva Nancy was on the weighing scales, and screaming!
