Oh Sammie.... What a week youve had! Welcome beautiful baby Colt!! You hold him with every oppurtunity you get hun! There are women out there that tell us not to hold our bubs too often and to put them down to sleep so It wont spoil them.. I never listened to them once with my son and I will never with any of my children! Im so sorry hes been through a rough entrance to the world, but Im sure now hes turned a corner lots of mummies cuddles warmth and affection (plus of course that amazing breastmilk!) will see him up and running around with a magnificently contagious lil smile on his face in no time! Cherish him your lil golden baby
When I saw my son going through the worst of his condition when he was a baby sometimes when he would cry and cry and cry I would just hold him as tight as I could and cry with him.. I dnt think anyone should underestimate the healing powers of a mother and fathers affection. And now hes so full of life and so cheeky and unstoppable we lose our breaths just trying to keep up with him
CONGRATS AGAIN SAMMIE! My lil jelly bean may be sharing a name with Colt.. Not his first name.. But if it is a boy we have Jesse Picked out as his first name Or if its a girl she will be Katara!
feeling a lil on the mend today I even walked 1and a half K down to the shops with my son and picked up some extra groceries so I must be doin ok
I agree London Miss -=- Not just for babies too but for any kind of health problem we'd all be screwed back then.. Me and Dh were watching a horrific doco the other night about the first brain surgerys that were carried out on thousands of people as short a time ago as the 1920's.. Basically anyone with any kind of mental health problem (or sometimes not even that) were lobotamised with pretty much an icepick hammered into there brain with a hammer and wiggled around a lil bit! I cant imagine what things would have been like in those times.. Id rather not go see the doctor IYKWIM!!
Lise-=- sorry to hear your havin a bad time too keep our fingers crossed we'll both be on the mend proper soon eh!
Paula -=- Your avatar is the cutest! I love the lil belly hehe those things are so adoreable!
Well a big CONGRATULATIONS to Sammie on the birth of little baby Colt. What a great name. I can't believe the experience you've had though, but I'm praying that all is going well and that Colt is growing stronger everyday. Make sure you take care of yourself too.
I've looked back on my posts and it seems I only ever seem to get on here about once a week, so will try and catch up.
Paula / Wantbaby / Kyra - thank you all for your positive comments about us having a boy (and Paula you're right... everyone of the little girls in here needs a boyfriend). I'm sure it's probably just the fact that I'm a girl, so it's easier to relate to having a girl, so it was a little bit of getting used to when we actually found out it was a boy. But I am absolutely thrilled we are having a little boy.
Lise - how are you feeling? Any better? And I completely agree with your comment about the baby stopping their movement when DH goes to feel. My DH only felt his first kick last weekend and he was so excited. The look on his face was priceless actually. But since then, he's been trying to feel movement on my stomach and baby charlie just won't cooperate. Then as soon as DH goes away, baby starts moving again. It's so weird.
Hi to all the other lovely gals on here who I've missed.
AFM - had OB appt this week and I wanted him to do another scan (to check that everything is still ok, but also to reconfirm we're having a boy). But he wouldn't do it. He said he doesn't like doing unnecessary scans, so I was a bit disappointed about that. He used the doppler though and heartbeat was good. We plan on having a 3D scan at 28 weeks, so I'll just have to wait until then.
Went into my old IVF clinic this week too, as I had to pay embryo storage fees, but I found out that my favourite nurse has re-signed. She was still there when I went in and I was able to have a bit of a chat to her, but I was so disappointed, because I really wanted her to still be there when we go back for #2 baby. Such a shame because she is really great.
Just a quick question about this infamous "list" of when everyone is due. I'm not sure where it is (as I'm curious to check out when everyone is having their little babies) and I'm not even sure if I'm on it. Where is it?
Oh, and I forgot to mention that we bought our first big purchases for baby last weekend too. Paid for the pram, car seat, bassinet, nursery furniture etc, so that was really exciting. The shop was having a sale too, so because we bought a particular type of car seat, we got a free port-a-cot, so that was great (both our families are interstate, so a port-a-cot will come in very handy when we go to visit them).
We were able to take home the car seat, pram and port-a-cot, but everything else has to be ordered so I can't wait for it all to arrive. Then I can start setting up the nursery. Yay!!
