Blondes - I read your delivery story are you ok now? Massive congratulations. Hope you are setting into family life. How is sleeping and feeding? Xx

HP07 · 03/04/2017 21:33

Congratulations Blondes. Sorry to hear you had a difficult delivery.

Weaning not going so great. Baby HP prefers breastmilk to his delicious vegetables lol! We will just keep trying!

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/04/2017 23:39

I'm very tired and people keep saying ok pale

But I'm a mummy after all this time

Was reading my notes and thought omg at the amount of blood I lost and what happened in theatre

Doing mixed feeding and all going well. Sleeping food as well. Already put Herelf into a 3/4hr routine and she is just very chilled out

But was in the womb as wouldn't move for measurement scans and took till 23w to reveal sex

Hi everyone, I thought I'd drop by since I finally had my baby boy! It feels awfully surreal writing on a postnatal club, but wow, it feels fantastic.

I hope everyone is doing well and all your babies thriving xx

Welcome to the club Gengis! Congratulations on your little boy. It's great isn't it? All these lovely new babies, you're all making me broody again! Haha!

BabytoBoris · 04/04/2017 07:42

Gengis hello - how are you? How's feeding? Feeding in a hot climate must be sticky - I don't envy you that!

all good there, madam is asleep and ive just tried ut my new pump - seems ive brought prob the only one that has to be plugged in to a usb cable [Hmm

tho des mean its attached to laptop and i can pump and mn Grin

BabytoBoris · 06/04/2017 07:48

Blondes A pump with a usb?! How odd!! Can you use an iphone plug to plug it into the wall?

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/04/2017 13:38

It's got its own USB cable and we have sockets in kitchen with USB cables and plugs so go in there or attach to laptop

Just weird. Thought it was to charge it - but has to be plugged into socket to work

Just wanted to say it as everyone around me is sick of hearing it Smile

I can't believe a clever lab person picked a random egg and sperm and created this absolute wonder SmileStar

Blue that's how I feel about my Daughter

Photos up everywhere over fb - sure people get fed up - but I've waited years to be a mummy and enjoying every moment - even the korma yellow curry nappies 😂😂😂

You have waited years Blondes, congrats again. I don't do Facebook (and still have some friends struggling with infertility) so don't post pics anywhere but there are about 5 million of them on my phone. He's just so bloody cute!

Zenzie · 13/04/2017 00:26

Blue, yes! I'm in love with my boy too. He's such a delight.

Blondes, such joy to hear your news. Congratulations.

I'd love to hear names if anyone's willing to share? But fair enough if not!

stealthbanana · 13/04/2017 03:57

Congrats and welcome to blondes, genghis amd zenzie! It's a great feeling.to be here isn't it?!

Blondes a breast pump with a USB sounds very odd. What model is it?

And yy to loving them so so much. I still can't stop staring at my sons beautiful face, even after 16 weeks!

HP07 · 13/04/2017 09:03

Stealth, baby HP is 6 months and I still take thousands of photos of his peaceful sleeping face!

Grin I take thousands of pictures of his sleeping face too!! I'm pretty sure they're all the same but they all NEED taking Smile

Amelia is a beautiful name
