New thread for well-wishers to leave messages! And for Southsea to leave links to photos of the Pebble (hint hint) [you don't have to Southsea)

Congratulations! Beautiful photos, especially the one of the kangaroo care.

diddl · 13/02/2011 15:18

He looks absolutely gorgeous!

And OP-you´re looking pretty good as well, considering what you´ve been through!

Not sure where you'd buy them in the USA but you can buy special pumping bras from express yourself mums - I think they are sourced from the USA so you may be able to order one from a US website.

My friend runs the website and they give support / help to those struggling particularly with premmies.

Congratulations to you all. He's lovely :) .

KnottyLocks · 13/02/2011 15:22

Lovely photos. What a gorgeous baby Grin. You look so happy.

Yesterday's mission accomplished: got you a copy of The News to mark the event. Fabulous front page story about a local drug baron Grin. Bet you're missing home!

Also, have a pebble from the beach for you. I'll write Thomas on it, date and time in my bestest writing - like a Not on the High Street special but crappier Grin.

Oh congratulation south sea. I remember your initial post about waters breaking but then lost track of you. Am so pleased to hear of the arrival of thomas. X

TanteRose · 13/02/2011 15:29

Habbibu · 13/02/2011 15:32

Thomas is adorable! Thank you for letting us see photos!

kampakat · 13/02/2011 15:57

Aw....He looks absolutely perfect and i have to agree with other posters - you look soooo relaxed and fabulous, and not at all like you should after all you have been through!

jasmine51 · 13/02/2011 15:57

Hey Southsea, have got us a big table at the 10th Hole but did you know they dont allow prams or pushchairs grrrr - if 200 of us turn up all with a buggy do you think they would get scared enough to let us in?

kampakat · 13/02/2011 15:59

just saw your posts knottylocks what a fabulous idea about the pebble. My eyes are leaking Grin

TheOldestCat · 13/02/2011 16:03

weblette · 13/02/2011 16:05

He is just scrumptious and you look so radiant! Congrats again X

pearlgirl · 13/02/2011 16:21

Congratulations to you all and welcome to little Thomas. What lovely pictures.

Fenouille · 13/02/2011 16:32

Congratulations from another long term lurker. Thomas looks a bonny chap (as my Mum would say) and you look great after all you've gone through. Hope they discharge him soon and all the best for the trip home!

Canella · 13/02/2011 16:36

Aw Southsea - gorgeous photos of Thomas and you!! You look really well!! Too exciting that you get to get out tomorrow but can see how strange it'll be to leave esp when he'll still be there!! I'm sure he'll get out soon enough and then you can finally make those exciting plans to bring him back to the UK!!!
