[monnie]

Hey guys

Arielle...how you doing? Hope all is going well...

Nic...you'll be fine! I can totally relate...I remember feeling the same about my c/s...but the staff were amazing and really helped to alleviate my fears. Just focus on why you're there...keep thinking about how soon you will be holding your little one...it really is within minutes of having the needles!
You'll be a champion!!!

BW...hope the iron tablets kick in quickly! You poor thing! So exciting about your scan! Gorgeous!

Hey...did you guys see KTgirl's birth announcement...her twins have arrived! How wonderful!

Hope everyone else is doing well...mums-to-be, mums-about-bursting and mums-to-bubs!!!

Just wanted to finally say "helloo" as have been reading this thread for some time, but have been too tired to write anything... Hope you all are doing well today

Just popping in to check up on Arielle. Any news hun. Hopefully you're holding your precious bubba in your arms now.

Nic All the very best for Monday. Not long now hun and you'll be holding your gorgeous boy in your arms too.

Hi to you all

[arielle]

Sorry ladies! No news yet.
We've had 4 accupuncture sessions so far, and I think (?) todays may have helped somewhat. Have had some decent period-like aching going on, stronger BH's, with some lower back pain thrown in. Also (TMI warning) some old blood coloured discharge (sorta mucousy). Nice!! I hope this is the beginning?? Don't want to get too excited just yet.

BW- so nice to see you've got a ticker. Hope those iron levels pick up soon. I've had trouble with mine too, and know how crp it can make you feel.

Nic - if I don't touch base with you beforehand. BEST of luck for Monday. I wonder who will be first? I look forward to hearing from you, gorgeous lil' man in arms. xo

Numa - hello to you too. How are you going, apart from the tiredness? Don't worry - your energy levels should pick up when the 2nd trim begins. I LOVED the 2nd trim. Felt on top of the world!!

Lis - so nice to hear from you, with your "hold-me-constantly-mummy-nevermind-the-rest-of -the-world" baby. LOL! Sounds like it's quite a feat for you to get online these days. Hope you're loving being a mummy. Can't wait to join you, Monnie and Mako in the LTTTC Mummy ranks v.v.soon!

Shannon - how goes it with you and the terrific two?

Must fly!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Just wishing Nic all the very best for tomorrow. Can't wait to see your B.A hun.

Arielle Hopefully you are holding your little bub in your arms now too.

How's everyone else doing???

Gosh, it's a bit quiet in here ladies!
Wishing Nic all the very best, and I can't wait to read your BA.

Arielle...I hope you are a mummy now...or are you being made to wait a little longer?

[arielle]

Thanks for enquiring after me lovely ladies. I'm very excited to be able to finally let you know that:-

It's a SPROGETTE!!

Lew and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our bewdiful baby girl:-
LAELA JASMINE, 7pd 9oz, June 29th @ 11.48pm

We're in LOVE , and over the moon!!

The birth went great. Labour was around 6hrs, and I got by on gas and a little peth. Pretty happy with that! Feeling well today, and colostrum is flowing nicely. Wooohoooh!!

Laela has given us a bit of a scare with some breathing difficulties (?possible lung infection & / or fluid on lungs), which haven't fully resolved as yet, but she's in an oxygenated crib, and picking up very quickly. Should hopefully be in our room by tomorrow.

Once again, I'd like to say the hugest thankyou to all of Laela's wonderful Cyber Aunts. All your encouragement, and cheering has helped immensely. You all ROCK !!

Nic - thinking of you hun, and can't wait to share in your fabulous news with you. All the best hun!! xo
