Oooh well done, how was it?

Have you named yet?

Wow! Congratulations, how lovely!

Is she right there next to you? Does she smell all warm and new and lovely? Any hair? Any name?

You really have just had a baby. You must be feeling wired...I remember the feeling well.

I know it's hard, but try and get some sleep if you can you're going to need it

Oh, and congratulations again!

Wide awake here due to morning (or all bloody day) sickness!

Well done, congratulations!
Hope you're getting some well earned shut eye now

Wow congratulations. Like rinders I remember how wired you feel but agree you beed to try to get some sleep while you can.

Such a truly special time.

Congratulations!!!!!! How lovely how are you feeling??

Aw. Lovely. Just a bit jealous!
If you're bored you could always try answering my tumbleweed thread about my burnt formica worktop. hopefully you are not that desperate!

Aww, thank you all! Yes, she's just here next to me, being all beautiful and snuffly and new.

I luff her.

She is Nancy, and she is brilliant!!

Congratulations!

Ooh your first night with your new baby, I have such lovely memories of those <happy sigh> soak in and enjoy every moment

When you're holding her give her lovely newborn head a sniff for me will you? Nothing better than the scent of baby

dammit I'm broody now a I cannot cannot have no.7, can I?!

Wow - congratulations!
When I had my DS I kept the light on for about a week at night as I thought he might disappear in the night! I couldn't quite believe I "made that", well not just me but ykwim

have and from me! congratulations!

Yes, I confess, I am also very very jealous!!!

Welcome to the world baby nancy, I hope your life is long and happy and filled with joy

wipes away a sentimental tear at the miracle of new life

Oooooo fabulous! I remember the feeling - you are a Mum!! Now gaze at that baby as much as you like, she's 100% yours to love :-)
Don't be afraid to ring that buzzer if you need some support tonight, and seriously - try to sleep!!

Congratulations! Love the name - that was my choice for DD but DP vetoed it. So annoying of him - how could anyone not want to name their DD after Nancy, Captain of the Amazon pirates?
V envious of you for giving birth on your due date. And having a quick labour. I am 37+3 with DC2, currently up with restless legs and just want to meet my baby.
Enjoy your little girl!

yes I agree, ring if you need anything and do try to sleep, I know you probably cant because youre so pumped up

Also cuddle her as much as you want, dont let anybody tell you youre making a rod for your own back!

Welling up hear Jambalaya.God bless you baby Nancy. Mxxxxx.

Here(even).

Oh that's lovely news. Congratulations. Are you just sitting gazing adoringly at her? Try really hard to remember these precious first few hours, they are so special. Hope you and your new family have a happy and healthy future.

Awwwww <weeps>

Welcome to the world baby Nancy

<weeps some more...it's ok, I'm eight weeks pregnant...everyone's already learnt to ignore it >

Room-sharer on ward snores like crazy. Not Nancy, that'd be cute.

My room sharers are snoring too. That's why I'm on here. Dh is snoring away and dd came in at 3 and fell asleep. They are both all elbows, knees and snores!

Snuffles were so much nicer!!

Congratulations!

Hi Nancy! <waves>

I'm so envious of your labour! I'm awake and having contractions but things aren't regular/speeding up so I'm letting everyone sleep for now.
Hope you get some sleep soon.
Shame your DH had to go home but hopefully you'll get to go home soon too and start adjusting to your new arrival as a family

Massive congrats, and boo to staying in. I've had to twice and didn't sleep a wink either times

Tge snorer in our room with dd didn't even wake up when her baby was crying a mw had to go and wake her

Aah congratulations!

You've reminded me of the first night with DD, when she amazingly slept through the night (this was not a taste of things to come), but I couldn't sleep a wink as I was so buzzed.

Enjoy bringing her home!

Awwwww congratulations.

The next year really will fly. Enjoy every moment.

How fab, congratulations!

Congratulations

How brilliant. One million cheers for you and Nancy.

Oh huge congrats!! I was in shock for DS birth so just worried all night long so absolutely made the most after DD was born

Oh lovely gorgeous newborns, I bet she smells divine. Well done you
