Showing off DD

[DeadDoorpost]

So I gave birth to DD last Sunday. My nan died the same day, 2 hours before she was born. So I really don't feel like I can show her off to people as they're mourning the loss of my nan. Parents and siblings have met her, but any interactions feel...put on? Like they're being polite. And it feels wrong to be posting photos of her to friends and family when I should also be mourning.

So can I show her off to you guys?

Congratulations on your beautiful baby, she is lovely And hope you are recovering well.

Oh, wow! She's a real beauty, OP! Well done!! Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. Hope you are doing well.

And, of course, sorry for your sad loss

So gorgeous! Do you mind telling us her name? Hope you're doing ok xx

She’s beautiful!! She’ll be the gift everyone needs when they’re ready to start feeling better. Congratulations!

And I’m so sorry for your loss

She is just stunning!
Congratulations! ❤️

I am also really sorry for your loss x

She is absolutely perfect. And love her pose . Will you sniff her head for me?

I hope you are feeling OK. You should be very, very proud of your DD - well done. I am sorry for the loss of your nan, and that the timing was...well...pants.

Congratulations, good job well done. You've baked a perfect baby girl. So sorry for your loss, it's a difficult time for you I'm sure, what a huge mix of emotions. Good luck for the future I'm sure your nan is proud of you too

No you absolutely can’t because she makes me realise that my boy (7 weeks older) is no longer a tiny newborn and it makes me sad. Also my ovaries can’t take it so there’s that too.

Sorry for your loss. She is gorgeous. Your family adore her I am sure, it’s just not something anyone quite prepares you for is it? Celebrating life and mourning a loss all at the same time. Congratulations, you will all grieve less in time

Congratulations. Your little girl is absolutely scrumptious, well done you! 😊.

Oh my goodness OP she is just beautiful!!!

I'm sorry for your loss but congratulations on your beautiful little one! She is just perfect.

She’s beautiful, congratulations.

I’m sorry about your loss

Congratulations OP she's beautiful

Oh what a little poppet!
I'm so sorry about your nan. What a mix of emotions you all must be feeling. Don't let the sadness detract from the happiness though. xx

So sorry you’re feeling like you can’t share! She is a perfect little thing congratulations, hope you’re doing well and have support through this difficult time

She is so beautiful! Love her blue blanket

Awwwwww. She is beautiful.

She's an absolute treasure!

She's lovely OP, my DB was born the day my grandfather died. They say life goes in cycles, I'm sure she would've adored your daughter, it's ok to be happy even when something sad has happened

Shes absolutely perfect, it's a bitter sweet time for your family. Congratulations to you, she's beautiful xx

She's beautiful. Sorry for your loss

She's beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss.

I do know how you feel. My son was born on the same day that my friends 9 year old daughter died. She was amazing, as I was naturally reluctant to show him off. She said m son represented hope for the future and she always took a great interest in him. Hopefully your family we take comfort from the circle of life. Maybe in a little while he will be bringing them comfort.
