@MarleyandMarleyWoooo im sure there will be a few am I being unreasonable posts in the next few weeks 😂

I honestly haven’t attempted to text anyone yet because … I’m not sure if I’m ready for it haha !!

Oh bless you! It’s a crazy time, if you choose to keep it a bit quiet for a day or two (or more!) I wouldn’t blame you. Just enjoy that lovely newborn bubble.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds - I love your choice of name.
You are so brave; congratulations!
Have a Christmas as a feast for the soul, with your wonderful children. Light of the World shone for you all.

Congratulations on the birth of your lovely Lucy @Grinchismybestie ❤️ I hope you’re both doing well. What a beautiful gift to have after such a hard time.
I hope you’re soaking up every ounce of that newborn smell and the little scrunched up cuddles 😍 there’s no feeling like it. What age are your other children? I bet they’ll be over the moon 🥰

Congrat’s OP. Are you going to call her Holly?

When someone can't even be bothered to read to the end of a TWO SENTENCE post 😅.

Huge congrats OP. Lucy is a beautiful name 🥰. I hope she brings you and your family lots of comfort. The best Christmas present. Enjoy your quiet time with her and don't feel pressure to message people until you're ready. Thank you for sharing this wonderful news with us.

HazelBite · 17/12/2023 07:07

Enjoy your lovely Christmas present!
Congratulations xx

SendARavenToRiverRun · 17/12/2023 07:08

How lovely! Congratulations. What a fabulous choice in name as well. Xx

VillanellesCoat · 17/12/2023 07:08

What a rollercoaster of emotions this must be - hold on to the love and euphoria of the birth of your daughter 💜
I tend to judge names on the people I know who share them. All the Lucy’s I know are beautiful inside and out; strong, loving, wonderful humans. Great choice!
Love to you and yours, OP 💐

Weehectorreturns · 17/12/2023 07:09

Congratulations on your beautiful girl with a beautiful name.

Bittersweet I’m sure - and sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your family luck and love as you move forward.

Lovely update OP.

SweetFemaleAttitude · 17/12/2023 07:10

❤️❤️❤️❤️ welcome to the world Lucy.

Lucy has a strong, wonderful mum x

Mikimoto · 17/12/2023 07:10

Lucy will gradually discover she has one parent who loves her so, so much that it counts for 2 or 3 "normal" parents!
Merry Christmas to all of you!

menopausalmare · 17/12/2023 07:11

Welcome to the world little Lucy. Xx

niclw · 17/12/2023 07:16

Congratulations. Enjoy a few more hours with just the two of you x

Love from New Zealand too!
