I haven't posted before but have been following your threads.

HUGE congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son. I wish you a wonderful and happy life together.

[JaxTellerIsAllMine]

Hi waves. So very proud of you! I'm on IPad and can't see your gorgeous baby. Will have to wait until home.

Take it easy, just a little bit. And so glad twunt has been helpful in his way. Too little too late though.

Some healthy soup & bread to ease you back to eating

[Wuldric]

How lovely :)

Congratulations

Thank you for sharing this with us, Waves

[saffronwblue]

Waves this is just lovely. I am so pleased that your STBXH was respectful and supportive. Hope you are getting lots of rest and as much food as you can handle.

[Jux]

Jax, hope you don't mind. I've sent you a pm saying how I see profiles on iPad.

[Jux]

(and just realised you're probably using the app. It's one reason why I MN via Safari.)

[Tortoiseonthehalfshell]

Waves I am so delighted for you. Perfect natural birth! Perfect son! No sickness! Graciousness and diplomacy to the ex and relations! Every bit of this thread is making me beam. Especially the photos.

HUGE congratulations, and do stay around and let us know how you get on.

[KalevalaForMePlease]

Jux, could you pm me too please? I use the app but also when I'm on mumsnet on safari I can't see profiles. Thanks!

[KiwiJude]

Caspian is gorgeous waves. You've done so well the whole way through, this probably sounds quite dumb but I feel so proud of you! :) I do so hope you are able to eat and keep the food down, enjoy it and get goodness for you and Caspian from it.

As an aside, one of clinic managers we had here (I work at a fertility clinic) was a male midwife.

Awwww Waves HUGE congratulations my lovely.

Welcome to the world Caspian, a beautiful name for a beautiful boy.

Back online after an unscheduled absence, wide awake when I should be sleeping but couldn't wait to check in! So glad to hear of Acrobat Caspian's safe arrival, yours is the most amazing birth story, the weekend thread is wonderful, you are one amazing woman, and that is the loveliest blanket I have ever seen.

When all good breakfast intentions fly out the window, you can always keep your strength up with and a hobnob or two !!

[JaxTellerIsAllMine]

Morning. Daily

Thanks jux. I'm on app. Might try with dh laptop when he's done!

Hope you slept we'll waves.

[JaxTellerIsAllMine]

Ive borrowed DH mac to have a quick look - I couldnt wait! OMG that is one of the most stunning babies I have met in a while! He looks like a healthy bubba waves

Congratulations again, so happy for you.

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

Keeping down food again must feel strange but now you can take in nourishment for yourself and Caspian.

4 hours of visitors! My goodness that was generous of you. Lovely for them to meet Caspian. (4.5 hrs -what were they thinking!).

How are DS1 and DD?

[Allalonenow]

What a beautiful boy Caspin is waves!!

Hope you got some rest through the night, and that you plan some calm days, for goodness sake forget the hoovering!

It's bound to be strange getting back to eating properly again, school room food like cottage pie and rice pudding might help, and all your favourites to tempt you of course. Oh! did I mention how good chocolate was for you, a complete food group in its own right.

Have a wonderful day waves.

[Allalonenow]

Caspian ~ my iPad altered that, I must feed it loads of Narnia vocab later!

[ClairesTravellingCircus]

Hello waves, I've already writren on the ither thread but here gies again: congratulations on Caspian's birth, he is abdolutely adorable!
His birth sounds like an amazing experidncd for you, so glad it all went well.
Enjoy your food

[MissStrawberry]

Definitely state a leaving time when people ring to ask if they can visit. 2 hours then 2 1/2 is ridiculous and not thoughtful at all.

[FreckledLeopard]

I've lurked through your other threads but wanted to pop up and say congratulations! Caspian is a beautiful name!

I'm so impressed by how amazingly strong you are and everything you've been through.

[Songbird]

sniff This is beautiful. You're beautiful. Caspian is beautiful. His mumsnet blanket is beautiful. His big brother and sister are beautiful......etc.......

[AgathaF]

It was very good of you to allow them to stay for so long (and very selfish of STBEx). I hope you're having a restful day today, with some good food and lots of lovely baby cuddles.

[themidwife]

Only just found this thread numpty but sending so many congrats to you & your lovely DCs to welcome Caspian home. You did brilliantly & have been super generous to twunt & his family. You are my hero!

[themidwife]

AND HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[wavesandsmiles]

Thanks for the baby adoration and ongoing support

Strangely enough I have had another busy day and tomorrow looks even busier. Yawn. Have been up since 4 with caspian and was hanging washing out at 5.30am. He loves cuddles and to be honest after hanging out a load with him in one arm I decided to figure out how to use the moby wrap. It is marvellous, and doing things like the dishes is so much easier.

I'm definitely going to take it easier regarding visitors as yesterday was too much. I don't think twunt really appreciates it to be honest. Ill not have his family round for a while now as it was ever so draining. Anyway, not a word from him re maintenance, so I will have to tackle that at some stage too.

I've had some cards already (from his mum and sister, my mum and my DCs, from a neighbour and my family support worker). He hasn't sent anything which is a little disappointing, especially as he actually does know what it took from my perspective to bring caspian into the world.

Anyway, my focus is now on my beautiful baby and other DCs who have missed having their fun and happy mum for so long. After caspian's various medical check up appointments tomorrow morning I am taking them to the park. Busy day ahead so fingers crossed I manage a bit more sleep tonight

Strangely enough I have had another busy day
