The long awaited arrival of *Beema's* 'Flicker' ~ Anastasia ~ 35 weeks

You know hun, that I admire you. You have done so well keeping little Anastasia safe and nice and plump for her long awaited arrival. I am so happy that it is all over for you now and your gorgeous princess. It was certainyl one stressfeul and eventful pgcy, yet you really did end up with the best outcome, your take home bub.

The happiness just beams off you Beema (hehehe)

I read your post wholeheartedly and I just loved the photos. Such a beautiful little baby girl. Little N is looking so good. I hear you so much on not wanting to go through the same things as you have been and are still going through with N for this little one. I am the same with this pgcy, praying like crazy that this one doesnt go through what V has.

Anyhow Congratulations again beaming mumma Beema, your post was truly wonderful, and I am so glad all went well and you got your Take Home bubba. Woohoo...... hugs

Thank you so much for sharing Beema.

Having a premmie with your first child teaches you so much about yourself as well as a system that not many will know the intimate details of - the premmie rollercoaster - you and I know it well and that fear - having to do it again. You have done so with such dignity and inspiration and I know I have cried many times during this journey with you... tears of sadness, tears of elation - tears of utter joy!

Thank you for walking this path and providing strength and encouragement to those that walk the path behind you (ie me)... I draw strength from members such as yourself when the premmie rollercoaster fears catch up with me.

Congratulations to you and DH on the earthside arrival of Anastasia and to big sister Miss N.

what a beautifully written birth story.
she is such a strong and precious little one.
just adorable. those photos made me tear up.:crying:

Thankyou all so much for reading our story and being there for us throughout our journey, it was good to get it all written down in one piece :)

I finally "cracked" last night, aside from a few tears in a couple of appointments with my MW or OB, I hadn't actually let go, and just couldn't stop crying, it felt good though, like I needed to do it, release all the emotions that I had been protecting myself from letting out for so long.

I am sorry that our story made so many of you cry :hug: you have all really held me together throughout the pregnancy :grouphug: you are all amazing and were a huge part of what got me through each day :loveshower:

xxoo

Oh Beema, what a beautiful story. I am so glad that Anastasia hold on for 35 weeks, and I am so proud of you for going into this well-informed and determined. I have happy tears for you, for achieving your goal of breastfeeding despite the hurdles. You are so empowered and determined - well done.

I speak for myself but I am pretty sure for most of us it was a case of 'tears are the champagne of the soul'.
PS - can't wait to see a new avvy with A in it! hint hint!

Oh yeah I will have to get back in to make a newbie or add to this one.......

What an amazing story. Even having seen now and then on BB the next drama you were facing, reading your birth story, with every little twist and turn of your journey so honestly and beautifully recorded really brings home just how much you went through.

I have so much respect for you, you coped with so much while at the same time making yourself so well informed to make sure you got the very best outcomes in a tough situation. Sounds like you had a great team supporting you too. So well done to you all and hoorah to such a fantastic end result!

Beema your story is just beautifully written and you really are an inspiration. You fought so long and hard to give your beautiful daughter the best start in life. Your an amazing lady. Congrats again on the birth of little Anastasia :clap:
