Devon's baby boy - 24th January 2009

I am delighted to announce the arrival of my gorgeous baby boy, born on the 24th of January 2009. 4134 grams (9lb 2oz), 54 cm long. Wonderful, drug-free labour.

Has been a bit of a scary start, he had some breathing issues and a suspected infection, and spent his first week in the special care unit. He's doing really well now though, and is just beautiful.

Thanks to all the girls who've been asking after me on my profile page - sorry it's taken me so long to post my announcement.

Will do birth story soon - when have more than a second to spare!!!

Devon

Congratualtions of the birth of your beautiful boy! :loveshower::leap::bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer :So happy for you Devon :D I've been trying to find the time to check this thread to find out your news. Can't wait to hear more details and maybe see some photos... Take care and rest when he sleeps (everyone told me that but it took a while to learn, and here I am sneaking a peak on BB!)

Thanks so much everyone for your congratulations.

I'd love to announce his name, but I've had stalking issues on BB, so I'd better keep it private :(

We've been having some feeding probs, and he hasn't been gaining weight. But I'm expressing like mad after feeds, and he'd put on 50g this morning since yesterday (although he did a huge wee and poo all over the scales immediately after he was weighed).

Other than that, he's just gorgeous...and waking up...

Congratulations, hun! I haven't been on BB much in the last few days so I haven't seen your announcement til now, but you've been in my thoughts a lot!

:confetti: YAY! DEVON HAS A LITTLE BOY!!! :confetti:

I really hope the road forward smooths forward for you and your little boy - you sound so very happy, and I'm sure the feeding will get better as your supply gets established more and more.

So glad that he's in your arms now and I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful time getting to know your little one.

Take care - really look forward to hearing your birth story.

Miss C :hug:
