    Gorgeous story. I remember feeling that weepy feeling with S, too (he was also really alert and just looked at me as soon as he was born - it's just breathtaking, isn't it?) and it settled down after about 10 days, I think.

    Have a wonderful time getting to know each other

    Congrats again and thanks so much for sharing.. you did a wonderful job, what a beautiful birth!

    The family bath sounds amazing, sounds like a great hospital!

    All those emotions your feeling hun are normal, when i left the hospital i was freaking out, i felt sick thinking OMG theres no-one here now but DP, myself and this tiny little girl... ARGH i wanted to run screaming for the hills.. it gets easier until you accidently cut their finger while do their nails or they fall over cos you weren't quite paying attention... their job is to show us the most pure love and make us feel insecure all at the same time... keep up the great work!

    Oh how embarrassing, I have tears pouring down my face and I am at work lol.
    WOW . . . what an amazing Birth Experience. I only hope I have one "exactly" the same Well done, keep at it with the breastfeeding, my friend had cracks, holes punctured in hers etc and they were bleeding, but kept at it and it quickly fixed itself up and she loves every second of it "No pain, no gain they say". Good Luck for the journey ahead, I am very happy for you xx

    WOW! What can i say but what a truely beautiful birth story! what a fantastic experience! and that family bath!!!!!! im yet to have one of those LOL!
    your hubby sounds wonderful, and ur little man is adorable! u deserve it all!
    As for those "baby blues" i understand completly how you feel - i think mine lasted 2wks! it was just a build up of emotions on everything, trouble breastfeeding, having this tiny bundle that depended totally on me, adjusting to it no longer being hubby and I, it was everything! and having a supportive husband is what helps and will get you through!

    Big HUGS and Big CONGRATULATIONS once again!

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us xoxo

    Hi everyone, I'm catching up on BB while bubs is asleep awwwww he is SO BEAUTIFUL! Many of you have asked what hospital we birthed at, it was Selangor on the Sunshine Coast, they have such a fantastic reputation and I know why now! Thank you for all of your lovely replies to my birth story, I'm so happy to be able to share it. Bubs is doing well and I've managed to go 2 afternoons now without crying so things are looking up. All in all bubs is doing great and dh and I are getting enough sleep to keep up sane. We are just so happy words can't explain
