Now a proper MUMsnetter!

[ninja]

Hi Folks - thanks for the support and entertainment when I was pg - well now I feel I can finally join the ranks of all you mumsnetters.

I won't bore you with the details but I gave birth to a girl at 13:49 05/05/03 called Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva) - it's Irish like my dp - and he still is my dp as he was a star through the whole experience and even let me come on mumsnet as soon as I was home!

congrats - take it easy though - don't do anything for a while expect dote on littleun. No housework...in fact do a sophie wessex if you can.

Welcome Caoimhe, well done Ninja!

Well done you - and what a lovely name!

Thank you all, my parent's have been up and they're not sure about the name but I knew I could rely on you lot to be positive. I have found the internet is a great way of stopping the phone ringing (and giving dp quality time with her).

Demented - yes there is now another cloth bottomed baby in the world - exclusively since she came home. Mainly muslins and Mothercare shaped for the moment, she seems so tiny (only 6lb 11oz) and dp has done 90% ofvthe changes - what a star. you'll have to excuse typing just come in to feed!

ok you can have the labour story but later - still a little tender, long, stiches and some help. enough for now but thanks again

Great news ninja - you'll now be a regular on the b/f and sleepless nights threads - wonder if you'll dare to venture onto the GF threads too

Only onto the ones that have a Yurt Crystaltips! - Have to admit she slept in with us most of last night so I guess I am already turning to the dark side (according to Gina).

Ninja - isn't it lovely though to wake up and see their beautiful little face and hear their soft, peaceful breathing... sigh........

Glad DP is helping loads It gives your body a bit of time to heal. And the quicker you heal, the quicker you can start trying for number 2.

M2T Broody as always....

congrats Ninja,and welcome baby caoimhe what a beautifull name.xx

Thanks M2T - you're right, but I haven't quite forgotten the labour for no.1 yet - body feels like I've been fighting and I can't sit down (I'm sure you all know why that is! - actually both possile reasons)

She's so beautiful, I'm loving the feeding, and now the phone calls have calmed down and we have been left alone for the evening just being a family. Enough sickliness for now - thanks again for the responses

Congratulations Ninja, welcome to your new baby girl.

Congratulations Ninja!

Guess now you have a lot to deal with, but at least it's outside your body and so it's easier to check on! And of course you get the reward to see her smiling!

Well Done Ninja! And what a gorgeous name!
Hope you're getting some sleep....
