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?

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

Oh yay Arielle, such great news. I hope beautiful Laela gets out of her special crib and in with her mummy and Daddy soon.

BW, have read your thread about the family - you are super strong and will be such a great mum

Thanks, Jo. Haven't even started on the antics of the in-laws yet... I just want to bundle up all my relatives and send them to Mars so I don't have to deal with them!

Anyone got suggestions for muscle cramps? They are extremely painful and are just about crippling me tonight.

Oh Congrats Arielle and DH on the arrival of princess Laela.What a gorgeous name too.I wish her all the be strong vibes and I hope she's out of her special cot soon and in with her mummy and daddy. Oh and yay for the flowing colostrum hun

BW I'd say PFFT to your relo's sweet. Just know that you have a huge amount of support from us BB'ers and you'll be a fantastic mummy who'll provide such a loving and caring environment for that special little "parasite"in your tum
I can't offer any advice on the muscle cramps but I do remember them well. Maybe a nice warm(but not hot) bubble bath might help

Nic I'm sure you've got your little man in your arms now. I wish you a speedy recovery hun.
