Shroomboom · 22/01/2014 09:44

Thanks so much everyone Grin
We cannot believe how lucky we are, she is perfect!! Had quite a scary labour, at one point a hairs breadth away from being whisked in for an emergency c-section but we made it and it was all worth it for the sweet little girl lying asleep next to me. Keep welling up every time I think of how lucky we are and when she was born I sobbed.
Will come back on with full birth story when I can, but until then thank you each and every one of you, your support, thoughts and messages mean so much xxx

on a different subject - mls, nits. yuech. we had them for 6 months when dd1 was 4 - nightmare.

4everhopeful · 22/01/2014 11:01

Oh Shroom Grin Grin just welled up reading your post! I'm so very happy for you, I know how long you longed for this day, & how you wondered if it would ever happen, and how scared to believe you were during your pregnancy, cos felt exactly the same during mine, but hey my lovely, you never gave up your dream, and now she is laying there in your arms and she's not a dream anymore, she's real, she's here, she's beautiful, and she's yours forever xxxxxxxx just made myself cry again!

moonmrs · 22/01/2014 14:28

Another one welling up, brings it all back to me how I felt when J finally arrived. I love this thread and am so happy to be part of it all.

Loueytb3 · 22/01/2014 21:48

Grin Grin shroom so glad you got the birth you wanted in the end. You and mrshroom look ecstatic in the pics

CloudOfStarlings · 22/01/2014 22:24

shroom just completely amazing!! Bet you can't stop staring at her and am so glad the birth turned out ok in the end.

mls you poor thing with the nits..we had the dreaded letter last wk that they're in ds' class..so we are a-combing every night which ds HATES so has to be bribed with smarties.. we had the letter a couple of months ago too & I cut ds' hair off cos I was so sick of the fuss with combing, it's just got to a lovely curly length again so I'm not cutting it again! Thankfully haven't found any yet, long may that continue!!

Still massively Grin Grin Grin for the Shroom family - of FOUR! Grin Can't wait to hear the birth story! Oh and you must please post or mail or tx a pic for us non fb'ers! Can't wait to see your beautiful little Lily! Must tell you that if Teddy had been a girl he'd of been a Lily too! Smile Such a lovely name!

Lovely seeing our wonderful little thread brimming over with such palpable elation! Big waves to all returning lurkers! Must let mermaid know! She will be thrilled!

Am up doing night feed, was literally awake almost all last night with a very unhappy little chappy, burning temp, distressed, wouldn't be put down, DH discovered the cause today - the appearance of Teddy's first tooth!!! Grin
Been such a busy time here, busily arranging his christening in 2 weeks time.. Smile Both him and Summer are a delight and have such a special little relationship together, she makes him laugh and laugh like no other!

4everhopeful · 24/01/2014 03:50

Yawn.. another bad night here
Have just added another couple pics on profile!

CloudOfStarlings · 24/01/2014 13:32

Awww 4ever he is so cute!! Starting to look like Summer too I think :)
Sorry you're having rubbish nights :( so hard.. ours are ok at night but currently struggling with the too-early wake-ups...driving me crazy, they're awake 5.30/6 and then ds1 is just SO tired & grumpy by the end of school, but refuses to nap before it! gah! But then every few days I put him to bed super early to make up for it...he was snoring by 6pm last night so that was nice Grin

Hope the shroom family are all doing well, thinking of you lots!

Oh 4ever he is gorgeous, they both are Smile So lovely that you can see that they're siblings.
So glad you like the name Lily too - we have a reason behind calling her that and at the risk of being boring I shall share it with you! In Belgium every May they have a tradition of giving little posies of Lily of the Valley for good luck - when we were ttc ds our very elderly neighbour left me a little bunch in our gate, and lo and behold shortly afterwards I fell pregnant. Fast forward to last year and a friend at work was given a bunch - when she showed me I told her that they really do bring good luck and I believe helped us get ds, so she gave me hers. The rest as they say is history Smile

All fine here but not getting much sleep. Off to try to get a nap now before the inevitable sleepless night. I love that we have that ahead of us though, still think someone's going to pinch me and I'll wake up Smile

Hope everyone's okay xxx

Neeko · 25/01/2014 19:29

What a lovely story Shroom Smile. Love hearing you so loved up. Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Hope everyone else is ok. Must get on the laptop to view these gorgeous baby boys.

moonmrs · 25/01/2014 20:39

Aww Shroom that's lovely, how I love a happy ending and a little miracle. You'll be able to tell Lily that story when she's older.

Neeko I'm.on phone too so need to get laptop out to see pics as well! Phones are too handy sometimes they make you lazy!

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

moonmrs · 27/01/2014 16:25

Happy news - my sister is pregnant again after her ectopic pregnancy last year Smile had an early scan, its in the right place and heartbeat seen! So happy for her, just had to share.

Shroomboom · 27/01/2014 18:53

Oh moon that's fantastic news Grin You all must be so happy! How many weeks is she? It bodes well that there's a heartbeat Smile I hope she has a very uneventful rest of pregnancy...

Little Missy's just waking up from sleeping on and off ALL day so am off to feed her. Another sleepless night is on the cards for us I reckon Grin

moonmrs · 27/01/2014 19:58

She's 14 weeks. I'm so excited! And so happy for her.

How's it all going Shroom? Are you managing with 2 ok? Hope you're getting some sleep, those early days are a killer.

4everhopeful · 27/01/2014 20:01

Fabulous news moon! Grin

Shroom how's your babymoon? Still Grin for you! Are you home and settled? Does DS adore being a big brother? How's bf going? Are you just staring at her in awe and still pinching yourself? ! I'm still pinching myself with my 2 to this day! Grin

Happy burns night to Rumours Blue & Neeko Grin

Been a small catalogue of disasters here, cracked corner of the screen of my beloved Samsung galaxy phone last week, then the computer monitor fell forward and cracked yesterday, then my bloody tooth cracked in half tonight! ! Confused
Thank god I still qualify for my maternity nhs exemption, hopefully will be all sorted before Teddy's christening Confused
