Christmas and the New Year will bring with them a flurry of sneeze births and we Brook No Argument! (part 14)

[MissLToeishavingsantasbabyboo]

Thought I would treat us un a festive thread

Ooooooh no fair, I don't have Facebook!!! But I'm assuming its something lovely and warm and snuggly?!!!!

Ooh how lovely, Gen. So excited for you.

Why was MW surprised Bartlett? Not usually doc's territory? Why was DS HB a surprise tho?

Too busy today, making me

Any news Nuts? Xxxx

Have sent you a PM, sparks.

tock, I think doctors, including me until not long before DS arrived, are very nervous of HBs and significantly overestimate the risks. I only know of one other doctor who has had a HB but generally my friends have been very surprised/shocked that I would even consider it. I can't even have a sensible conversation about the HB studies that show safety without most doctor friends rubbishing the studies without even having read them! The problem is that, after medical school when we have to do a certain number of normal deliveries (I've assisted at normal deliveries and at elective sections as a student), the only deliveries doctors get involved in are the complicated ones that have gone a bit pear-shaped.

The MW who delivered DS said after it was all over that she was surprised to see a doctor book a homebirth but she hadn't wanted to say while I was actually giving birth! So I just think that MWs don't expect doctors to go for HBs or to have done it before.

We are trying to be busy today, but DH is working much harder than me, so I should probably go and help.

My parents are both doctors, bartlet and still haven't quite got over me having HBs even though my brother was nearly born in the car

Awww I'm guessing Gen has some good new squishy baby news! Hope it all went well and mum and baby are well?

Nothing happening here.... Had to wait in all day for an awesome (huge) parcel! Little bro sent (German) DP loads of crisps - which DP loved and they also sent us a loads of beautiful knitted things from little bro's DGF's Mum... So errr MIL once removed? Anyway, some pink, some blue and all beautiful! And a knitted teddy! Will try to post some pics later.

DP obviously got very excited about the crisps ate two packets (small normal size packets), then a cookie (which I cooked yesterday) and is now asleep on the sofa... I'm fairly sure men are only adult shaped, and miss some adult thinking ... So I'm tidying up and wanted to go out for dinner with DP but since he's had crisps and a cookie and keeps moaning about his weight (sympathy pregnancy weight gain ) I'm not sure he's really in the mood

Although... He is probably tired because he was up late last night and awake early this morning because I am very hormonal pregnant occasionally... And getting fed up with a developing head cold... Bless him. He is a big soft sweety. Will try and do more sports with home in the new year poor DP. He's awake now and I owe him some cuddles.

I want to divorce my DH for general twuntery!! he has been twunty in my hormonal opinion all twunting day!

boo better not let my DP and your DH see this... they might collude against us... or are we already colluding against them??? DP offered to vacuum then decided he didn't want to... so I left the vacuum cleaner out for him while I cleaned the bathroom and did the washing up tidying the kitchen in general... he hasn't vacuumed...

boo my dp is also twunty today, due to getting in at 2.30 steaming drunk [ hmm]

Loving Gens fb news, can't wait for more details.

Stupid twunty men :(

sorry for slow update! DS born this morning by c section. his heart rate was dipping a bit so they decided to get him out sooner rather than later. good job too as he was a bit wedged under my ribs with cord round neck 3x. scary but all was well and he is gorgeous

Ooh congratulations Gen

So happy for you Gen. It's always seemed like you've been a tiny bit ahead of me during the brooking process, through the bad times and the good. Now you have your lovely little boy, I feel very emotional for you, and slightly freaked that it means I'll have mine soon!

So Nuts and Tock up next, with Whims not far behind. Then its our turn, triple whammiers. Lots of excitement still to come!

thank you!

Huge congratulations Gen. I'm so happy for you. My very first brooking cycle buddy! So thrilled you have your baby at last.

Congratulations Gen he looks lovely

Congratulations Gen! He's beautiful

So glad you're both well. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

Congratulations Gen!! Great to hear that all is (now) well and you have a happy healthy baby.

My bean is cosy where it is... But if anything changes I will let you all know

So pleased for you gen, so glad all is well. DS is gorgeous! Hope you're back home as soon as possible. Xx
The babies will be coming thick and fast over the next few weeks!!

Bit late to the party but marvellous baby news from gen and stacks

Good work girls!

Really really pleased for you both xxx

:::::Twirls::::: Tis I, Boo, MissLToe seemed a bit out of season now, I will be looking for a permanent name change soon, I have decided that Princessishavinababyboo is a bit too .....erm....... in the news, cos there is an actual princess (sort of) having a baby :( Any suggestions welcome as long as I have my Boo!

Hi everyone. I'm at home with DS now, and a little... occupied. Hoping to get some time tonight to catch up and post from laptop.

Congrats Gen!

Ah, those little newborns do like to keep you occupied! Glad to hear you're home Stacks

Hope everyone is enjoying family life over the festive period. Anyone bothering to go out on NYE? I've never been a fan of it, pregnant or not, so don't mind staying in at all.

Ooh baby snuggles on your own sofa that is great news Stacks :)

I'm staying in too Little I have never liked going out on new years, far too busy everywhere, plus baby sitters are very hard to find and I like the idea of starting the year as I mean to go on, my little family boo all together :)
