Of course not :-) everyone is welcome

Sorry for the quick one, but my new taskmistress is demanding attention (ie a feed and hasn't slept since the last feed)... And apologies for the copy and paste job...

We went to our weekly OB appt on Tuesday morning and within 5 mins of seeing her, the OB was on the phone to the hospital trying to find us a spot on the list for a c/s that afternoon. Bub had turned back to breech and there was nothing down low except fluid, so the OB was concerned that if my waters ruptured, not only would all the fluid gush out at once, but a cord prolapse was highly likely. Given the risks, we were sent home to get our bags and head to the hospital ASAP.

So, Amber Emily Rose was born at 4.07pm on Tuesday, weighing 7lb 5oz (3.32 kg). It was my absolute last preference for her birth and I'm finding the recovery tough, but she's making up for it by feeding well and occasionally even sleeping (just not at the moment)! Both DH & I are completely smitten!

Congratulations on your new bundle and that is a perfect name

[Danielle_NZ]

Welcome to the world Amber Emily Rose, congratulations Juniper74! what a beautiful name. How is your recovery going?

[Arimeh]

Congrats juniper!!!!

[juniper76]

Thanks. I'm doing okay. Finally starting to feel a bit more normal and less pain getting in and out of bed. Looking forward to the fluid retention ending, but was told that could be 6 weeks...

I am liking that I now weigh 20kg less than I did at the start of the pg.

[Danielle_NZ]

That's awesome news Ahurani! and not long to go either... what have you done during your pregnancy to stop weight gain?

[Ahurani]

Well I lost so much at the start with MS so thats helped alot really

[Arimeh]

I had put on 3.6kg and have now lost that and down to less than what I was when I started. I've lost it in the last 2 weeks by not eating crap... so who knows, I might actually hit the 90's when I have the baby.. LOL
