Waters gone.... Yup. Contractions started.... Indeed. Anyone want a nice birth thread with Flamesparrow?

[FlameIsOnDay2]

Waters started trickling about 6pm. Contractions are still vague and spaced out but there iyswim.

Erm, that's about it for the updates atm

Oh, will go change my name...

Congratulations Flame and a very happy birth day to Carys. She is absolutely lovely. You must be absolutely exhausted after the last 24 hours. Chocolate and a cup of tea must be in order.

I sat at work all day today refreshing like mad to see if she had arrived yet. Of course, I missed it. But I am so happy to sign on to see that she has safetly arrived and mum and baby are doing well.

Flame that's where her 9lbs 9 really comes good...her first pics make her really beautiful!!

looks like her mammy!

Congratulations Flame

aww, she is beautiful, congratulations.

Absolutely beautiful. x

she looks just like flamechick1 and flamedemondude did at that age

utterly scrumptious!

Awww, she's all pink and chubby - beautiful.

Ah, fat little baby cheeks

Lovely photos

Well done Flame!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gorgus

What a sweetheart, she is absolutely scrummy. Now you go and get some sleep, for tomorrow is a beautiful new day........

Congratulations!

A beautiful name and such a clever mummy

Well, I missed it after all - does mean I get to say congratulations and isn't she beautiful all in one post.

Well done Flame, and welcome to Carys.

Am I supposed to go 'oooo, gorgeous'? She looks like a baby. Well done, you have produced a small human! Good job!

Congratulation Flame, she is gorgeous

Awwww, she's a beauty.

And you, Flame, are a MN star. It took me 7 months to post a birth announcement, and you've practically done it live!

Ooh what a sweetheart she looks very cuddly and squishy
congrats!

(I had an hour long placenta delivery too, my sympathies! It's just yuk until it's out, isn't it!)

wow

congrats!!

you did a fine job of nourishing that one in the womb - looks like my ds did (though he was a tiny 8'13) lovely and cuddly already.

i think TTC threads will see a resultant uplift in activity....

Congratulations Flame!!!!!!!!! She is so gorgeous.

What a fab weight too!!!

I hope this thread sends vibes to babyMel...
(what with Heather's waters going on EE aswell!)

OH WELL DONE FLAME

Sorry for shouting but it's soo exciting.

Am very so you will just have to come visit Trinity and I with Psycho and bring flamechick with you so I can have baby cuddles

Congratulations again and welcome Carys

Millions of Congratulations Flame

love and hugs

oh gosh, flamey, she is just delicious, so pinky and yummy. congratulations to you and yours, and carys is such a lovely, lovely name.

Congratulations flame, she looks gorgeous (and big!). Enjoy that first properly-exhausted-soon-to-be-interrupted sleep, it's one of my favourite bits about having a baby!
