congrats! I had a midnight baby too! Actually more like a few minutes before midnight, but when we went to register her, was told the hospital put her birth after midnight Hmm. So, she has an, official birthday and when we really think she was born Wink

Lovethesea · 15/12/2011 15:56

Congrats! I've lurked through all the threads and have been checking this one every few hours since your last post! Welcome Eleanor and hope you heal fast nickel. Be gentle on yourself and eat a lot of dark chocolate (very good for iron obviously!)

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 15/12/2011 16:20

Nice to have you back Nickel :) It does sound very painful, but most definitely worth it!! Was she bang on 8lb? Good to hear she's latched on well, that makes life much easier!

OhFraktiousTree · 15/12/2011 16:49

Congratulations and welcome baby Eleanor!

Hope you're doing okay and not too sore. Take it easy and enjoy those snuggles. Sniff the top of her head while you can Smile

nickelbabe · 15/12/2011 17:35

I've changed my christmas name, so I'll update that in a few mins (after making all that fuss when people "stole" my christmas name idea Xmas Blush)

Pesto - thank you for your card, it was a lovely surprise

and
DutchOma - thankyou very very much for the hat and booties! they're wonderful, and we shall be using them when we finally venture outside of the houe! Xmas Smile

I've put pyjamas and a bra on now, and have been downstairs Xmas Shock, and i feel so much more human! Xmas Grin

Well done, Nickel, welcome Eleanor!

What weight was she?

sittinginthesun · 15/12/2011 17:42

Congratulations, Nickel, and welcome to the world Eleanor!

Glad to hear you sounding so happy and upbeat. I had a very similar experience with DS1 (but in hospital) and I know it does take it out of you.

Take it easy, and enjoy. x

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 15/12/2011 17:42

Thats going to be my new earworm! Congratulations on baby Eleanor (beautiful name).

CointreauVersial · 15/12/2011 17:44

Durrr. 8lb - just read it.

Bigger than any of mine. Grin

bigTillyMincepie · 15/12/2011 17:48

Well done Nickel, but OUCH! I'm glad mine were 6 1/2 and 7lbs (and even then I had to have a stitch for DS as he plopped out like a baby lambGrin)

Lovely names tooXmas Smile
