Oooo good luck blonde. How exciting!

I was a bit freaked out today when someone on our December antenatal thread had her baby. It made it all real!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 25/10/2012 21:57

Aww sorry you're sore blonder. That baybee doesn't really want to come out, does it?! Just think though, within 48 hours you'll be a Mummy and it'll all be worthwhile! :) hang in there!

blonderthanred · 26/10/2012 21:55

He's here. 4.50pm, CS, 8lbs. Blissfully happy.

FriendofDorothy · 26/10/2012 21:58

Oh, oh, oh!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

How wonderful!!! What's his name?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/10/2012 21:59

Oooh I've been waiting! Congratulations! He's here! [hgrin] so happy for you!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 26/10/2012 22:03

Yay!!!! Another ESH boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations lovely MummyBlond !!!!!

cakeandcava · 27/10/2012 03:05

Hi everyone. DS was born this Monday after a marathon labour that started with painful pre-labour contractions on Thursady evening. Was in established labour by Saturday, had DS Monday morning and was then on post natal ward until Wednesday. I literally didn't sleep for a week. Hence no mumsnetting until now.

I didn't get the natural labour I had hoped for, he came by foreceps in the end. But it was a really good experience, and I felt well looked after. My fanjo is carnage, but I'm healing well. The cut was clean and well done, and I didn't tear too badly.

Blondie, massive congrats! It's incredible, isn't it? :)

blonderthanred · 27/10/2012 05:10

Oh that wasn't next question if we had heard from cake. Congratulations lovely, yes it really is the most amazing feeling, wherever has gone before is obliterated by the rush of love, I felt my heart burst and have been astonished by it ever since. Oh I am so happy for you.

Slept with my hand in the cot and Junior holding my little finger. Well, I say slept...

blonderthanred · 27/10/2012 06:12

was my not wasn't

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 27/10/2012 07:20

Oh my, TWO ESHboys! How lucky is this Fred! Congrats to you, too, CakeMum!!!!!

It's so wonderful to hear both of you describe the amazing feeling you have for your new sons and I'm ignoring the bits about difficult births...

queenrollo · 27/10/2012 08:42

Grin i was waiting for news too. This has set me up for the day, so SO happy for you both and hope that you have lovely snuggly babies that let you sleep. Feeling a bit teary eyed now and going to give my hulking 7 year old boy a squishy hug.....(while I can still get near enough to him to manage it)

EuroShagmore · 27/10/2012 09:06
CamelKnees · 27/10/2012 09:17

Hurray hurray hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrray!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done cake and blondie! Totally totally thrilled for you both Grin

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 27/10/2012 10:05

Hello cake! Congratulations! Grin I'm glad to hear that although it was hard work you had a positive experience! Brilliant. Two ESH baybee boys.

FrankelDeBeauvoir · 27/10/2012 10:14

Congrats cake and blonde [hgrin]

blonderthanred · 27/10/2012 11:01

Oh it's so lovely to read your messages thank you. Can you tell I am in a bit of a hormonal fog? A good one though for a change! But it does mean a lot.

So nice to have a bit of 3G reception in this ward so I can potter about on my phone and be in touch with people.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 27/10/2012 11:40

I think you're allowed to be a bit hormonal at the moment! I can't quite imagine how it feels to meet your baybee after so long?!Smile

FriendofDorothy · 27/10/2012 18:16

Hurray! I am so excited, and now I am a bit scared!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 27/10/2012 18:22

Yes, won't be long dor! :) I am still not thinking about having to go through labour!

Thank you so much lovely ESH. Wishing the same for you all.

Northey · 28/10/2012 06:33

Yay! Congratulations both of you and a special ESHly welcome to the two babies.

cakeandcava · 28/10/2012 09:03

Thank you all so much. The ESH are lovely and have always been amazing support.

Fanjo of doom is totally worth it!Grin It really is amazing, unlike anything I've felt. Hoping you will all have it soon!

blonderthanred · 28/10/2012 13:19

Gosh I came very close to the 'rush of pure love' line yesterday didn't I... Mind you it's pretty accurate and I don't claim it for the conception, that was more like a rush of oh-we're-quite-tired-but-better-do-it-anyway-just-in-case (we probably won't ever mention this to our son).

Just waiting for my blood test results and for the paediatrician to check the baby and then we might be able to take him home this afternoon. Physically I'm still quite reliant on help getting up which made last night quite tricky doing all the feeds and changes on my own so it will be amazing if I can be in my own bed with TBI. REALLY wish we had a bednest instead of a Moses basket now, started looking them up on eBay about 4am.

As he escaped from the emergency exit my fanjo's ok but the first day of blood really was like the last 9 months' periods all in one go. Mmmmm.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 28/10/2012 15:14

Massive congrats to both cake and blonde. Welcome BESHboys! Enjoy it.
