Nickelbabe has a baby

[DutchOma]

Here is the new thread. If I have put my foot in it, well.....

oh. lovely. i'm weeping again. i really must stop it. but all lovely and Eleanor Katherine is a beautiful name and you did so bloody brilliantly. Well done.

Glad you like hat and bootees. I put my hand up to making a new thread, someone had to. Didn't know what you had in mind for your Christmas name, so kept it as simple as I could. You can always start a new thread yourself now.

Love the new name Nickel & pleased the card arrived safely [still excited]

lovely name nickel hope you're well

Ah how lovely, and thanks again for sharing your story.

I have an Eleanor Rose, its a beautiful name! Congrats and best wishes to you all xxx

Congratulations Nickel

Thanks for updating us all - sounds like you were amazing and that Eleanor is settling right in. Take it easy x

many thanks for updating us nickel and welcome to Eleanor Katharine - i have a Kathryn :)

hope its all going well

Congratulations, lovely name and you did really well to do the lot on gas and air! Clever thing.

But what's Eleanor like?! Is she all gorgeous and snuffly and pink and perfect?! Were you surprised she was a girl? Who told you what sex she was? Does she look like either of you or is it too soon to tell?

Congratulations nickel, thanks for coming back to update us.

Wishing you, Mr nickel and Eleanor a wonderful Christmas together

hello, lovely

Gorgeous name for a gorgeous little girl.

Well done nickel - sorry you had a bit of a rough time at the end there but congratulations on your lovely baby girl, and what a lovely name she has! It's lovely having a tiny baby at Christmas (mine was 3w old on his first Christmas Day) - especially if you get one of those mini-santa suits for them !
DS still plays with his first ever Christmas present - a 14" high stuffed reindeer

CONGRATS NICKEL!!!! Beautiful name.

I'm sitting here cuddling my new baby Jonah, born in my kitchen today at 18.14 on his due date. Can look forward to Crimble now!!

Congatulations - as someone said upthread it was a privilege to be virtually in amongst Eleanor's birth. You were very brave.
There's nothing like a girl born on 12/12!

Congratulations nickel and family :)

Lovely, lovely name - so pretty.

I hope you're enjoying lots of lovely cuddles, I'm due in 5 weeks so your story is making me all excited!

Congratulations to Hardertokidnap too. In your kitchen? Wow!

Great to hear from you again Nickel. Eleanor is a lovely name.

I keep thinking about you and have been wondering how you are. You had such a long second stage, and rather a nasty time really. So pleased to hear you sounding just like yourself. I like the bit where you complained about the un-iron-y food and tea. Good for you.

Do look after yourself. Don't go out till you are ready. Don't do any more than the minimum for a while. You need to rest and to heal.

Hope you have a lot of chez Nickel.

Congratulations harder !! Happy christmas to everyone !

Congratulations too Harder. What a lovely Christmas you'll be having this year.

Congratulations, Nickel and MrNickel. Hello and welcome, Eleanor Katherine. Lovely names.

Thanks for the update nickel, what a story!!! Hope you look after yourself. I had a big tear and blood loss with DS - spatone really helped and I drank shed loads of ovaltine too and didn't move much for the first month

Aww its been such a lovely thing to join you (have lurked throughout) in your many, varied and amazing birth threads! Hugest big congratulations on the birth of Eleanor Katherine, to you and MrNickel.

Congratulations Nickelbabe! I've just come out of hospital and want to see the story. Can someone tell me what page it is on??!

I delivered ok on the 11th december 9.02pm, Charlotte Erin, 9lb 14 but had a huge haemorrage and ended up in intensive care. Hence the silence! Luckily I am now all fixed and home :)

Desperate to hear how you went Nickelbabe - and huge huge congratulations. It feels like we've been through it together. I would love to read this thread properly but not concentrating yet, only just out!

ooo, scary, usingapseudonym! - glad you are ok and another set of beautiful names for your new DD! Congratulations to you too, take it easy.

just for you, usingapseudonym - it's half way down pg 4 (if you're 25 to a page) and nickelbabe Thu 15-Dec-11 12:43:16 this is the time of posting. It's a mammoth post or I'd repost it for you! but you should find it easily enough now.

Glad to hear you are all fixed now usingapseudonym and on the mend, congratulations on the birth of Charlotte Erin (another lovely name), 9lb 14 wow and ouch!

But what's Eleanor like?!
Is she all gorgeous and snuffly and pink and perfect?! yes, she definitely is! and she does this cute forehead crinkle thing
Were you surprised she was a girl? yes we were, and so happy, because deep down I wanted a girl
Who told you what sex she was? the midwife held her to us to show us so we weren't told iyswim
Does she look like either of you or is it too soon to tell? she seems to have my mum's lips and DH's mum's nose
