Was it not Oi? I'm going to stay out of this one, I've come up with two so far and I ought to let somebody else have a crack:o
I have an admission to make. Had a very unwise rampant shag encounter earlier, so am wondering if I should order a curry to compound issues? Hormones are a bitch >_<

I'll catch up properly soon, but yes our beautiful son was born today at 18:10 by emergency cs. He's 9lb, no name yet. Mum and son are happy and feel great! 
glad your both okay.

Congratulations Oi!
I'm drinking sparkling rose wine and milking myself. The Medela Swing rocks! And then later on tonight, I intend to pounce on DH. Good times

Hurrah for Oi and her lovely new son! 9lbs, wow- I'm impressed. Hope all progresses well post emcs.
Have been out all day on various missions- got reading material from second hand book shops for hospital stay (I know, I know, but I have an actual fear of being without reading material at any point in my life: comfort blanket for a bookworm), got the trad champagne and cigars (the latter for my OH!) dropped off a few Xmas presents and then took OH out for lunch as a combined 'thank-you' to him (interesting in light of what you were saying tinsel) and a last meal out without needing a baby sitter!
Then legged it to Mothercare to swap an outfit for a second time (don't ask) and get a few final odds and sods.
OH also assembled the cot, which is a relief given the disaster we had with my Dad's one.
hoho- don't blame you for having murder in mind
plu- how's it going, any more activity yet?
pully- that sounds like a pile of crap from your HV and I don't think she should do that. However, I have noticed on all my visits to the hospital etc, that NM is advertised and MN isn't, so they may have some sort of arrangement going with the DH. However, if they do, I think that's not on- like the Bounty thing that really pisses me off, free advertising through state services- and if they don't, tell your HV she may want to 'reposition' her sticker... 
benny, sorry to hear you feel so down today. Hopefully a good cry will get it out your system, and you've got a week for things to take their course naturally, so I really hope everything starts moving.
MOTD shortly, curled up in front of the fire/stove, with junior having his nightly hiccoughing session, happy days!

Hey, congratulations, Oi! Sorry you had the stress of an emergency CS, but a 9lb baby was not the monster you feared! So do tell: is he actually Ginger?
ChristmasWoollyPullOver, that really made me laugh, about the MW's disapproval. Fancy our enjoying something so contra-indicated by a medical professional! Makes me feel cool and rebellious again, instead of like a sad woman in a broken down body who can scarcely move! (honestly, I really can't move this evening, after lying down) (BaaBaaHumbug, I like the sweary threads, too! I can't find it now, but there was a good one a few years ago called: "AIBU to really love swearing". It must have been the "drunk thread" of that week, as it was heavily trafficked and luridly painted with effs and cees - and not of the CBeebies, variety, either)
Talking about medical professionals, it's crap that you are getting all sorts of conflicting advice, SoTired. I think aethelfleda's analysis is a very sound and subtle one: "if they think you are overfeeding baby then the thing to reduce would be the amount of top-up, thus getting you back towards your target of a breast-fed baby," - yes, why not reduce the top ups first, if you are reducing anything!? In my experience, small babies are very inefficient feeders, so the time they spend on the breast is likely to seem more extreme than a bottle-fed baby's feeding.
figgy, I had my show earlier today, and that seems to be it for now, so I am assuming that was the plug and that's that. Sorry for TMI, but it was extremely stretchy. Is that what you had, too?
Tinselperion, thanks very much for sharing those studies. It's a really good time to be thinking about generosity, not only for the time of year, when we may feel under pressure to keep others (and one another) happy, but also at a time of our lives when we really are really depending on others' help!
mopsy, your DH has been making a very generous effort himself, there! 
YBR, good that you have them being looked at. What a star DH, keeping track of them and nursing you like that.
TheFirstNoelChinchilla, someone mentioned a booklight in the maternity bag; have you got one of those, to go with your reading?
MerrySorelip, your post made me smile, as I had some wine this evening, too, and both Dh and my mother were a bit disapproving. I must admit, it wasn't as nice as I had hoped (maybe my tastebuds are conspiring, too), but it bloody felt good to have done it, and now I think I feel a bit better physically, too.
