Swarley Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 thanks. I think the hardest part is not being able to do much to help. I'll update you all when it happens. Yeah I remember that, don't worry things will happen pretty quickly then you'll have plenty to do! No1 was 13 days late and only the threat of an induction (scheduled for T+14) "persuaded" her to come out. No2 obviuosly learned from this and arrived 4 days ahead of the due date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The wee one is 6 1/2 weeks old now and she's constantly reminding me how much easier this was when I was in my 20's. Well as the saying goes, life begins at 40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 All these things about a newborn that are now flooding back into the memory bank! What is it with old people and babies? Why do they always make a bee line for them and try to touch them? Not in a BEAST stylie but just an "ah isn't he so cute....". F#ck off I'm trying to do my shopping! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prominent "Donations Welcome" notice attached to a suitable receptacle placed in the pram will substantially reduce this unwanted attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bump! Swarley Jnr No2, aka Alexander Ryan, arrived at 01:22 on 4th December. Weighing in at 3.72kgs he was a bit lighter than his older sister. The Wife started to feel a bit of cramping at 6pm on Wednesday, continued through the night but too infrequent to be classed as proper contractions (her words not mine). I got woken up at midnight to be told that we had to go to the hospital NOW. Contractions in full swing now and coming fast. I wake up Swarley Jnr No1 and drop her off at a nearby friend's house. Race home to pick up wife and head to hospital. I think we arrived there about 12:30, they called the OB at about 1 and Baby had arrived by 1:22. No pissing about here! Now the fun begins, it's been three years since we've had to swaddle etc. I cannot remember what to do! It's ages since I've been in GN and this thread so I'd missed this. Congratulations Swarley. And congrats also Weirdcal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallo_Madrid Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Baby was born this morning at 8:31 weighing a whopping 8:11. Mother and baby doing well after 101 complications during the night Congratulations. Now the fun starts. The missus' due date for our second is a week today. We're hoping she doesn't come a few days late. First baby was a week over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightscamera Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Baby was born this morning at 8:31 weighing a whopping 8:11. Mother and baby doing well after 101 complications during the night Congrats, although the whopping 8:11 pales in significance to our two of 9:10, & more recently, 10:14(and a Quarter) Apparently all my fault, nothing to do with the massive amounts of food consumed by Mrs Lights...I can't remember the last 'small' baby having been born of to people that I know. Hopefully you don't get too many sleepless nights, if you do..... Well...Hope your a quick adjuster! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Cheers folks, it's utterly surreal to think about it. 27 hours in labour and I ended up wearing scrubs for the moment. I'm away home to open a beer, sniff it and fall asleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
