Mom and Baby, joined by the Crown Prince, are recovering well in Kaliburg
Her Highness, the Princess Consort Casey Leigh-Campbell has delivered her child, the Minor Princess Nicolette-Mary Lindsay Ananto-Leigh in Kaliburg. The labor, which according to House Ananto was more than 30 hours long was natural, but not uncomplicated. The baby was a day late, and when doctors performed an ultrasound, they discovered that the child had turned around and was threatening to be breech. But the unborn child was very active and with careful massage, the Princess Consort's midwife was able to encourage the baby to get into the correct position for delivery."
"Well, the labor was very difficult for Casey in this instance," said the Crown Prince, who was elected to speak for the family. "It seems our child still believed it was party time when it was supposed to be delivery time, and while it caused my wife a lot of anguish and exhausted her, she and her midwife were able to get the baby turned back into the right direction, get it to relax a bit and then the midwife induced labor. Casey opted for this to avoid the c section and have the child naturally as she wished. I was with her the entire labor, and we welcomed our daughter together."
The Crown Prince said that the Princess Consort selected the baby's name. "Casey said she wanted her daughter to be named after Nicolette Ananto-Collins, the Princess Regent and my great aunt. She said she read Nicolette's biography when she was a kid and really admired the work that the Princess Regent put into taking up a post she was not prepared to do, and the duty she performed for the country. She said the Princess Nicolette was, despite her faults, a very admirable woman and she wanted to show Nicolette respect by naming the future Empress after her. She also picked Mary for the Suffix out of respect for Mary's accomplishments. I selected her middle name, Lindsay, because Lady Lindsay Ontiveros, who was an ancestor of our current Foreign Minister, is something of an unsung hero in Kalistan who suffered along with my family 170 years ago. It is a tribute to the contributions that the Ontiveros family have made to our nation over the decades and now centuries."
The Minor Princess weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces, and was 19.8 inches long from crown to heel. She is the royal couple's first child and will remain with Her Highness, the Princess Consort in the hospital for the next week while several batteries are conducted on the child, and mother and child bond. The Crown Prince is expected to spend his days and evenings with the Princess Consort and their new daughter, so they too can have bonding time, but will sleep at Cliff House to allow Her Highness the Princess Consort to rest over night.
"Speaking for myself, I am so proud of my wife," said the Prince Consort. "She handled this complicated birth with dignity and grace. She felt confident advocating for herself throughout the entire matter, and asking me for whatever she needed. She was very brave and she was very much in charge of the situation. She is probably the bravest woman I know, and I am so glad to be able to start our family together and have her by my side." Asked if the couple wish to have more children, the Crown Prince nodded briefly, "I do, but I suppose that Casey also gets a vote. We'll see how she feels about it in a few months. For right now I think its best to get to know this one a little before we go start on another."
For now, mom and baby are reportedly happy, healthy and getting to know one another well. And for the next few months, at least, it is expected that the Crown Prince will have a light schedule as the new family adjusts to the new member, before shifting into high gear in March or thereabouts to prepare for the Coronation. For now, we would like to wish Her Highness, the Minor Princess Nicolette-Mary Lindsay Ananto-Leigh a Happy Birthday, and say Congratulations to His and Her Highness, The Crown Prince and Princess Consort on the occasion of their new child.
