Oh this has made me well up. Mumsnet does funny things to me
sometimes, how can I feel like this about someone I don't know (and haven't even read the story of)

I am so sorry for your loss. You must have had such a tricky time of it,
Congrats on your wonderful
Bundle.
. FYI st Lucy's day is this week too., (was Wednesday) and how fitting for a December baby born in these circumstances that Lucy means light.
Sending you so much love across the internet. X

CleansUpButWouldPreferNotTo · 17/12/2023 09:58

Congratulations and welcome to little Lucy! Your sadly departed DP would have been so proud - sending you, Lucy and her siblings much love and many good wishes 💐😘

Welcome Lucy, you precious girl.

@Grinchismybestie congratulations. I'm so sorry your DP isn't here to meet her. I bet he'd be so proud of you both.

Do you have practical support for the early days? Get some rest while she's in sleepy newborn mode 🥰
