Wow ducky he was a good weight especially as he was early. Well done I bet he is gorgeous.

Siarie · 08/12/2014 18:45

Ahhhhhhhhhh CakeFlowers congratulations Ducky! I'm so pleased he is here safe and sound. Seems like you had a tough old ride getting him out but it's all worth it in the end. Xxx lovely!

Cupcake92 · 08/12/2014 20:10

Anybody else watching the royal variety show? Simply red are on, he's amazing! All his songs have always been so good ! Smile

LuluJakey1 · 08/12/2014 20:26

Ducky that is just fantastic news. I am just so delighted for you. What does he look like?

You sound like you had a bit of a time- can't bear the thought in 3 weeks 6 days time. But he is hetenow and safe and that is all that matters. They say you forget about the pain quickly.

Hope you get some rest tonight.

How is DH? Proud dad?

LuluJakey1 · 08/12/2014 20:29

Me and DH have had it all out tonight and cleared the air. As usual I was the adult. I have realised he is as pathetic about some things as most men but can see some goid points agan. Whilst, not fully forgiven we have had a hug and a bit of a cuddle. He definitely has some making up to do following the drivel I have listened to.

Ooohhh glad I distracted you cupcake!

And glad you are feeling better lulu Smile

I haven't slept in over 2 days but just can't stop looking at him! He is so lovely with little chubby cheeks! He had loads of really long dark hair but unfortunately they had to shave a lot of it off to get a canula in when he went to scbu.

I was a bit annoyed at h, I was there bleeding heavily, unable to move, not knowing where my baby was, and being violently sick and he just disappeared, didn't tell me where he was going, didn't reassure me, didn't ask me how I was/if I was ok. He did go to ds but it made me feel like he didn't care what happened to me Confused.

Oh and ds has been so so so so brave, he has had so many needles and things shoved into him and barely made a squeak! EnvyEnvyEnvy

Awww! DS sounds lovely Ducky. I hope mine is as good. Your DS sounds very cute and very brave.

Is he snoozing now? I love the way new babies lie looking very composed and serious.

MrsPopple29 · 08/12/2014 21:19

Congratulations Ducky! He sounds perfect :)

Really hope you recover quickly, so glad it's finally over for you- sounds like it was a horrendous experience!

Hooray for the first baby of the thread! Xx

Cupcake92 · 08/12/2014 23:04

Lulu I'm glad it feeling better and u and DH have had a talk :)

Ducky I'm so happy for u! Smile and ur little boy is so brave! I hope u both get better and get home soon!! :) :)

My bbs are killing me tonight!!!!!!!! Dunno if it's a good sign as they don't normally hurt before AF :s n my nipples sorta sting (tmi sorry!!)
Testing tomorrow morning. Sorta nervous :/

Siarie · 09/12/2014 01:48

Ahhhhh this girl has finally stopped lying transversed. So I was able to eat this evening without feeling very constricted!

Oh Ducky it's lovely that he is here, I expect your DH panicked so don't be too harsh on him.

Lulu I'm glad you've had a good chat, now just keep up the smile for the last few weeks. Hormones play havoc with the brain and men are lucky they don't have to deal with them changing so much.

Cupcake I have my fx for you xx

21questions · 09/12/2014 07:00

Cupcake92 · 09/12/2014 12:02

Cupcake92 · 09/12/2014 16:01

Oh no ducky is he ok? How are you feeling yourself?

Oh cupcake annoying! Hope they arrive nice and early tomorrow. I've just got my cb ov tests. Af finished. Time to start dtd Wink

Cupcake92 · 09/12/2014 18:07

I had ordered them 1st class post on Saturday night. So should have been here today as that's what it said. But they never showed! :( im desperate to test now lol! I'm officially a day late haha

and oh no ducky :( hope he's okay!
And hope ur healing well too

LuluJakey1 · 09/12/2014 18:42

Ducky- why is he in SCBU? I hope it is just a blip and he's back with you soon. I bet you are worrying. Can you go down there?

Cupcake - Christmas post! Hope it arrives tomorrow.

Sairie. I don't think I have much room for him to move around now. He still does but doesn't do the back flips and forward rolls he did before. Midwife says space gets tight.

DH is being nice and I am trying. I just can't be best friends straight away. He is making tea and I am lying on the sofa with my feet up and a cat. I've just lost a bit of respect for him.

Cupcake92 · 09/12/2014 21:29

Big hugs for u Lulu Flowers

Hope u and baby are okay Ducky

He's got jaundice Sad they told me he was only a little bit but it turns out it's quite high Sad I'm unlikely to be out for a few days Sad

It's awful being seperated, I can go down when I want but it's hard as I'm still in pain and can't sit. I have just been to feed him and change him but I'm just sat in my room all teary listening to the other babies on the ward crying Hmm

Cupcake92 · 09/12/2014 22:01

Aww Ducky it's okay, my cousin has just had her baby last week, he also had jaundice. They put a light on him (thinks it's the vitamin D they need?) but he's fine now and they are both home and doing well :)
He'll be okay :) and he'll be with u again soon, try and recover urself now and get some rest so that when he's back with u u are refreshed.
Stay strong Ducky! u and baby have done so well!! :) Flowers
