23rd July 2008 ~ Brock Riley has arrived

Brock Riley arrived Monday 23rd June 11pm after a 17 hour labour that resulted in a ventouse delivery (shoulder distocia & prolonged 2nd stage). 49cm.

He is currently in the special care nursery and it is hopeful he will be released today (Sat) or tomorrow. I am on a little visit at home as I'm going stir crazy being cooped up in hossy so long. He had an infection and jaundice which are both under control now. Just having some difficulties putting on weight. Am really hoping to get him home tonight. I was discharged from the post natal ward on Thursday to a bonding room attached to the SCN.

Well, it's back to hossy now for me. Please keep your finger crossed for us that we get to bring our little man home with us tonight.

Congrats I hope your little man is home with you soon

Congratulations on your new bub!!!!

Congrats on your little boy - and welcome to the world Brock

Congratulations on the arrival of Brock!! I hope he comes home with you soon.

Thanks for all your kind wishes. We got home on Sat night. Yay.

I still can't believe he's all mine (well not quite, I guess DF had something to do with it). It was such a long journey to get to here, but worth it, that's for sure.

We are all doing well at home. Managing to get some sleep in between demand feeding. He's waking about every 3 or 4 hours which is great as in hossy he usually had to be awakened but that was because he wasn't well.

The best news is he does not need any follow up with a paediatrician (sorry I bet that's spelt wrong) and only has to have his hearing tested in about a month due to spending over 48 hours in SCN.

Thanks Gudism for pointing out my error in dates. My head was all over the place when i posted that.

Alioops - my hossy stay had the opposite effect - I lost half my baby weight in a week. Must've been all that healthy hossy food.

lee - I eagerly await your announcement - hopefully not for a while yet though.

littleme - your brother managed to get us locked out of the house yesterday. Thank god chemists sell ready to drink formula and presterilized bottles is all I can say as it was supposed to be a short trip so I didn't have any formula etc in the nappy bag. Lesson learnt - never leave the house without it. Was a nice trip to Rosebud to retrieve our spare keys.

CONGRATULATIONS SATYA! and welcome to little brock.

quick laugh about the keys :) grrrrr... def never leave house without formula! we only did that once too!!!

yay for 3-4hr sleeps aleady :) what a star :)
cant wait 2 give him another hug :)

Congratulations Satya
