Welcome to the world little boy and Good Morning to everyone from a beautiful sunny morning on the S.E. Hampshire coast.
The washing machine is busy doing the laundry, DH is busy doing his crossword and puzzles and I am busy checking up on GN. Looking forward to the champagne later to celebrate the new kitchen extension and of course, the new baby! Hope you managed to get some sleep Alea.
Just popped in to say Congratulations to grandma Alea A lovely wee boy, what a joy!
While I'm here just like to say hello to everybody. I'm usually just in the corner of Soop's kitchen quietly listening whilst you all have your 'blether'
Photo at 4.25 -or should be! However, if you twist my arm I will repost. DD3 has taken food into the hospital for them (!) , prob more the sort of things they like than average hospital food and said she saw SIL but not mum and baby who got to the ward around 2. SIL is still shell shocked probably somewhere between cloud 9 and comatose after 3 days and nights and was unable to give birth weight, name or even how the baby arrived - clearly his ante natal preparation had NOT quite prepared him for this
Oh, absolutely gorgeous alea. Poor SIL, it's all been very exhausting for him! Hope the champagne's cooling nicely, hope you get to see the little one soon, and hope we get all those essential details before too long. ?
He is absolutely gorgeous- I do not know about your DD and SIL but we have all had a very long labour! It had to be a boy, lagging behind for so long! I am assuming that all the family will be home sometime today? He is so peaceful, he has no idea how many folk have been biting their nails waiting for his arrival.
Hoping actually they give DD another night as she only got to the ward after 2, and was frankly exhausted by Saturday morning! My goodness wasn't it different in our day? I had 8 days each time (C sections) with enforced bed rest before lunch which at the time seemed so long, but once home and the reality kicked in, sometimes I longed for a friendly nurse and another pair of hands, especially in the middle of the night!!
Alea I think that your SIL could do with a good 8 hours sleep before the baby and his wife come home. Let's face it, it will be the last undisturbed night he may have for many years to come!
Babies being nature's way of getting back at the teenage years when they either kept us up worrying about where they were or woke us up coming in at 5 am!!
YAY!!!! and much more besides. Alea It took some time for me to fall asleep. I thought to myself, this is crazy. The baby will come in his/her good time. I'm absolutely delighted for you and your family. He is absolutely gorgeous. As is Loopyl's new grandson. Virtual (((cuddles))) are in order. Pop the Champagne cork. Let's all celebrate.
