I'm sitting in a very empty quiet maternity ward having somehow managed to produce a beautiful baby boy this evening.

Absolutely knackered having been on the go since yesterday lunchtime but can't stop staring at him in shock, awe and love Smile

PS Why do boys get the good eyelashes?!?!

Congratulations!

Now rest up, you deserve it 🙋

Congratulations! He is gorgeous. I was stunned to have finally given birth after my first was born, and even more surprised that he was so beautiful. For weeks afterwards, I could just sit and watch him and admire him for hours on end.

What a beautiful boy! Congratulations OP x

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/10/2017 01:11

What is it about tiny babies that makes you want to squeeze them all up?

I remember that 'crap, I'm a parent now' feeling. Mind you I still feel like that sometimes.

Lovely post. Congratulations! 🥂

I remember my first 15 years ago, a boy, with beautiful long eyelashes too! Never felt so proud.

Enjoy enjoy enjoy! Newborn cuddles are the best 💕💕

Another self indulgent post but I've currently got a gently snoring 2-monther on my lap. He's been amazing and is starting to smile.

Today was the hardest yet as we seem to have hit leap 2 at the same time as his first jabs - my heart was breaking as he wouldn't stop wailing for an hour.

Anyway, sorry again for the self-indulgent post! Here's a photo of my little pixie boy at 4 weeks GrinGrin

Oh my god I'm a mum!

Aww 😍 this makes me smile! Another first time mom here, my boys 9 months now & i still feel completely amazed by him 😁

namechangedcantthinkofnewone · 21/12/2017 19:30

Aw this made me smile, your baby boy is beautiful.

It's scary how quick it flies in and how big they get, my first baby boy is 11 weeks, not so small anymore.

mogloveseggs · 21/12/2017 19:31
