hello

Hi Likel!!
Great to hear from you and so pleased your home with your LO!
Thanks for the advice re Cs's - I may have to have one and feel its all rather scary!!

Dont worry about the BF, if its not to be and all that........ she'll be fine.

Havent checked out your profile yet, but will do and await your new photos!!

Well Done!!

Welcome back Lilkel! Congratulations and well done. It sounds as though everything is going pretty well. Don't worry about the breastfeeding - there is enough to feel guilty for when bringing up kids without adding to the mix. And now you can also drink all you want

I do remember what it was like having a baby in scbu and when DS2 came along it was such a relief to have a 'normal' baby - it was a bit like a silver lining.

Enjoy your lovely new baby!

Congratulations LilKel - Glad everything went so well. Looking forward to pics of the little precious xz

Hi lilkel, great to hear from you and so pleased everything went well for both of you. I just find it it really funny that now you have a baby! We have "known" each other since the early days of this thread and we've always been pg. Maybe I'll have one too soon. Take care, and you WILL cope, I'm sure

lol sputnik
profile updated!
u guys r the greatest nonRL friends a girl can have!!

Wow Lilkel.... she's gorgeous and am so glad the section went OK...hope you're recovering nicely.

Don't beat yourself up about the BF...you DS isn't that old himself and I can imagine what a strain it all must be. I'm not entirely sure how long I'll last.

Enjoy these few weeks of getting to know your LO and adjusting to a new family member and all the routine changes and hiccups that will bring....

....I WANT MINE NOW...WAAAHHH!

Aww CUTE - what a sweet little one. Went to see the midwife again today, to pick up the HB box - and she said bub is well and truly engaged now. She's dropping the box in tomorrow. Also said it could happen any day (to my surprise!) so I guess I'd better replenish the midwife supplies (i.e. choccy biccies) which I have to admit I have dipped into a little...oops!

Awww lilkel - she's gorgeous, and so pleased everything went well for you. Good luck with all the settling down and recovery, remember that we are all here for when it gets too much! Which it won't coz you'll be fab!

Hi Lilkel - i'm delighted for you and your family. Sienna is truely beautiful - i'm not surprised you can't stop looking at her - it sounds like things are going really well and long may that continue.
we are proud of you but also very jealous as Daisy said - I WANT MINE NOW!!!!!!
LOL xx

Lilkel! She's just beautiful [sob!]

I'm so pleased for you, am sure that everyone else is taking alot of reassurance from your c-section! Its wonderful that it all went so well.

I remember trying to juggle the two just to feed and bathe. Its really hard, but comes good (honest!).

So well done you. Am SO

Bumper - re. the handwashing. Everyone who comes in and touches a newborn should wash their hands. The MW will do it a million times, you'll do it a million times. It is what everyone should do. And so you can say "would you mind washing your hands?" Or, "the MW has advised that everyone washes their hands before cuddles". Yours will be red raw from all those nappy changes, pukes, washing everything that is pood, puked over etc etc etc! so don't worry about that.

Thanks for the advice foxy! Will remember that - if this baby EVER comes!

oh I hope all your LOs come soon - and safely too!! It will all be happening before you know it!!

Just reading all your congratulations is making me all teary eyed - it's just so kind of you all to care & everything, considering you wouldn't know me from a bump in the wall in RL! Thanks a million!!! MN is such a godsend!!!

Bumper i'm SURE your baby will come out one day!!!
i'm at the stage now where people i meet look at me like i've lost a leg or something and say - "oh are you still pregnant then??" "NO. I'VE JUST SHOVED A FUCKING FOOTBALL UP MY TOP YOU MORON!!!!!!" should be my response but i tend to just say "yeah"
i'm not even due till monday so i can see this all getting very messy!!!!!!!

IKWYM ilkel i've completely dropped all my RL friends since discovering this lot - RL ones are just so boring!!!!!! - much more supportive and understanding on here.

oops sorry Lilkel NOT ilkel!

Congratulations on your beautiful daughter Lilkel.

Poke them in the eye Derlor.

C'mon, we need some more babies! Who is going to be next??

oh me foxy me me me me me meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
bet those two tuesday sections beat me and probably you too!!!!

i've got an AN appt in the morning - think i'll just ask the MW to do it vet style and glove up and pull the baby out - what do you think AIBU???????

I'm in a head to head race with Holly for this little one. Have a feeling she may beat me as an old timer - but I'm on the RLT and pineapple!

Just how much RLT do you think you need to drink?

I've got a MW appointment on Thursday...do you think she would have a look to see whether all these contractions I've been having are actually doing anything, or are they not allowed to at this stage? (I'll be 38+4)

Yeh, Daisy, get her to have a good old poke around!

Derlor - EVERYONE will be before me. I'm already thinking ahead to coming up with my own AN thread titles - something about Foxy's Fanjo is Fucking Sealed Shut is as offensive as I can manage at the mo.

I take it back, it's me and catsuit girl due on the same day. Just had a look at the stats thread (you are doing a brill job PA holly) and there are loads of people ahead of me! Hundreds in the first half of the month and not so many in the second half.

Hoep you are all well anyway. Haven't heard from many people recently, DKMA you out there? Doggus hope you are doing ok too.

Not long for you either way daisy. Are you hoping for natural labour now or not sure? Don't know about the AN appointment - sorry!

Daisy surely a little peek couldn't hurt!!
Bumper i'm on the pineapple and mango juice.(Foxy swears by mango) but still nadda - also taking RLT but that just makes things easier when you actually go into labour - ripens cervix aparantly - doesn't make labour start have been going upand downstairs sideways and squatting down on my hunkers but that just makes me pee!!

I wouldn't speak to soon Foxy, remember a lot of us are first timers, we could be sitting here drumming our fingers until July! I'm sorry, was that drumming our fingers or drumming our DH's into the ground with a frying pan!
