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)

Oh my goodness, what a little muffin!!! He's adorable!! He does look bigger than 4 lbs - must be that cute little rounded tummy. Awwww... I love newborns!
Congratulations southsea!!! (again)

I must have missed the double-handed pumping post... LOL!

Congratulations Southsea! Wonderful news and gorgeous photos. So glad you are both okay after this ordeal.

Good luck on your first trip out - wow it's a whole different year now Grin

Gorgeous, so many congratulations and you look so beautiful too. I have a big tear in my eye, lots of love to little Thomas (I have a Tomos, same but Welsh version) So lovely, I'm going to grin for the rest of the afternoon.

Huge congrats and dramatic to the very end! You sound over the moon, am very pleased to have got to this good news end to the story! Enjoy your son and your new found freedom Grin

franke · 13/02/2011 16:47

Aw, what a lovely little baby Smile He looks very robust.

oopslateagain · 13/02/2011 16:58

Ahh he looks gorgeous, I'm sure he's being spoiled well looked after by those lovely nurses!

Southsea, when you get discharged, remember he IS in the best place for him at the moment. Take a few hours, go and have a lovely relaxing bath, and DO NOT FEEL GUILTY for leaving him for a little while so you can take care of yourself.

systemsaddict · 13/02/2011 17:07

Thanks so much for posting the pictures, he is gorgeous! and doesn't he look big!

Hands-free double pumping with 4 hair elastics and a nursing bra here - no special equipment needed!

What a gorgeous boy.

Lovely to see photos so thank you!

BoobyMcLeaky · 13/02/2011 17:25

He's beautiful Southsea. Congratulations (again).

eatyourveg · 13/02/2011 18:53

I'm sure someone said it way back somewhere in the first thread, but you really should print off these threads and put them in Thomas's memory box. It is such an incredible tale to tell him about when he's older.

Love the pics too

oooggs · 13/02/2011 19:24

great pictures he looks yummy

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 13/02/2011 19:44

Oh wow! Thomas is gorgeous! And you don't look too bad for all those hours of labour either! Gin Such a shame I'm miles from southsea, I'd love to come to a meet up!

HalleLouja · 13/02/2011 19:50

Photos are beautiful - well done you. Small babies doesn't mean less pain well that is what I heard!

Lcy · 13/02/2011 19:51

He is gorgeous. Well done you xx

smokeybacon · 13/02/2011 20:04

What a gorgeous boy! Well done you.

sparkleshine · 13/02/2011 20:06

Awww he is adorable and sooo cute, I could just take him home myself.
Well done...you look great post birth.

Also agree he looks much bigger than 4lbs, but sometimes I guess you can't tell unless they are compared to another object IYKWIM

Have a lovely long soak in the bath, you deserve it.
I'm sure you will be having so many mixed feelings about leaving tomorrow but the frsh air will do you good for starters.

muddyangels123 · 13/02/2011 20:13

Southsea,He's beautiful.
Well done you.

bubbles12 · 13/02/2011 20:19

Another congratulations message!
Such a lovely name and such a special time for you all.

tadjennyp · 13/02/2011 20:26

Aw, Thomas is lovely southsea Grin . I have a baby Samuel Jude born in the US 8 days ago on the 5th - so I think Samuel is a great name to celebrate his American-ness! Smile

mejon · 13/02/2011 20:26

Well done, congratulations and welcome little Thomas! I've been following your story but not as closely this past week or so as I have my own newborn keeping me awake all night feeding so my MN time has been limited. Great photos too.

Pumble · 13/02/2011 20:51

Congratulations to you all! My DH and I have been following your thread lurking Blush from the beginning and are so pleased that you are all doing so well - and Thomas is beautiful. :)

Coppernoddle · 13/02/2011 21:12

He's beautiful! And you look well after a long few days!! Really hope tomorrow goes well for you! I'm sure as soon as you leave it'll be a sigh of relief! Either way, think it'll be very moving for you x
Have a lovely day and hope the sun shines for you x x x
