I had a baby today and I'm too excited to sleeep!

[Whatsounddoesagiraffemake]

Had DS this afternoon after all sorts of horrendous complications, (not least a severe reaction of the induction gel and a mad dash to theatre for an aborted crash section), but he's so scrummy and I can't stop looking at him. Obv am pumped full of happy hormones but still can't quite believe what he and I survived today and that I get to keep him!
Just wanted to share really!

Congratulations! Enjoy it DS2 is nearly 10 weeks and I'm broody reading this.

What is baby called?

Also, hope you're doing ok after what sounds like a fairly traumatic labour.

Aww so happy for you.

Congratulations

Congratulations!!! My DD is 5 days old and I still feel like that

Oh congratulations! I know that feeling, too happy to do anything except stare at baby :)

Sorry you had a hard time, I hope your recovery time is short.

Thanks ladies! I know I should totally make the most of a good night's sleep before I go home to DD (2.2) tomorrow but I also know that I'll never get this time just me and him again. sigh

Oh many congratulations!! I can still remember that mad euphoria, and being so excited - and my youngest is nearly 12!

Congratulations! Savour every moment of this magical time.

Ooh a lovely snuffly snuggly baby, congratulations! Does he have a name yet?

Awwwww!
Congratulations!

Ohhhhh...let me sniff his head..just once? Why doesnt MNHQ make a scratch and sniff thread? Lucky lucky you..[hsmile]

Congratulations [hgrin]

Congratulations!! Enjoy these precious moments, thanks for sharing too, I've got a soppy grin on my face remembering that euphoric high!

Wow! Ive just noticed that you are going home tomorrow after a section! You had to stay in for a week in my day! How nice to go home and get tucked into your own bed!

Can I have a virtual hold????

Congratulations. [hgrin]

congrats glad your both ok after a hard labour xx

Congratulations! The first night together is surreal isn't it? I kept nodding off, then waking up, peering at baby...and remembering

Lucky you, on the merry-go-round again.

it is magical and goes far too quick, enjoy every second of it

What a lovely post, many congratulations

I had DD2 3 weeks ago & am still a little bit disbelieving that I got to be so lucky twice. It's an amazing feeling, cherish every moment.

Sorry to hear your labour was bad, hope your recovery is short.

Congrats! I was exactly the same after dd who is now 11 mo. she's my 3rd and last so I was extra excited and just stated at her all night.

Would happily just sleep now though

How lovely, congratulations!

OP you said "aborted crash section" do I take that to mean it didn't happen after all?

The same thing happened to DS2 and me nearly 3 weeks ago. Reaction to pessary, baby's heart rate dipped, rushed to theatre, told I'd need a crash section, baby managed to right himself, phew!

Congratulations! It's the BEST feeling in the world isn't it

I love that first night lying next to a new baby when you can't take your eyes off them.
Congrats.
