May I tell you that at the same time you were giving birth, I was farewelling my school and I used an image of a butterfly flying out of a box as my final slide!
My farewell present was from a shop called Butterfly Silver!
And finally, two butterflies have been playing together in my front garden.
I am so, so happy for you and DH that Samuel Angus has made his way into the world.
Hope motherhood brings you all the joy you deserve!
another middle of the night message from BW - and an excited one this morning - Samuel has successfully BF! not a lot as still not much milk, but he attached beautifully and is doing quite well. he's also a lot more alert today than he has been, so she's a happy mummy
will leave details for BW to fill in, but i know there are a lot of BB'ers that follow her journey, so i'll post in here
her hope last night was that Samuel would be ready to go home for Christmas - if not, she is going to ask to stay in longer so as not to be apart from her boy at Christmas
Thanks for that BG - wow, it sounds like he's doing fantastically, and the more she can snuggle and BF the faster her milk will be. Mine took from birth on saturday 6.20pm until Tuesday evening 9 or so pm to come in and that was with 2-3hourly feeds, but DD still regained her birthweight and more in that time - that colostrum is great stuff tell her!
Oh i REALLY hope he can come home for christmas, that'd be such a great gift.
Wow BW I'm so thrilled to hear our news!! What a surprise, I had just read your post about your looong day of shopping etc! So glad to hear he is doing well and having success with BF. I also smiled a little as I remember you saying how much you wanted bub to come out early - wow the power of your mind is amazing! Can't wait to see some pics... Yay again!! xxx
Fantastic news honey - I'm so glad that your bubba Samuel is well and that you are doing so well too. All the best for Christmas with your little man - wherever you are!!!
after all that waiting little Samuel decided to be a wonderful early Christmas gift. Congrats BW and to your DH, and wishing all the very best with your beautiful little boy.
