17th March 2012 - Ashlee's BellyBub has arrived. ULTRA Early

[Ashlee]

I got my first lot of skin to skin for an hour last night to settle him, it was bliss, and all of his stats were perfect the entire time he was in my arms. He is looking for food and even sucked on my pinky very effectively to settle himself - hopefully that means we can try suck feeds soon!

Congrats on the arrival of your precious Liam, and yay for skin to skin, that must have been amazing for you both!

Congratulations Ashlee! What a beautiful name, love it. Glad to hear you had your first skin to skin contact, must be the best feeling to cuddle your new little one. Take care of yourself and your new precious bundle.

Congratulations on your lil man Liam's early arrival. I hope you get to go home with your new prince very soon! xx

[Ashlee]

Thank you everyone. He is off all monitors and having ebm in a bottle for the majority of his feeds. If he continues the way he is, I'll have him home for Easter! I'm so wrapt, his journey has been bump free and I cannot wait for him to be officially all mine!
