Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The thing I always remember being struck with after being handed my boy was his midnight blue eyes when he was born, they've completely changed now but just as nice [emoji4]I can distinctly remember two things about the immediate aftermath of BB1s birth. Firstly, being absolutely convinced at first glance that she didnt have the correct number of fingers and toes, then when she was lying on top of Mrs B for skin to skin, a deeply overwhelming feeling of "oh shit what have we done". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just looking back on my pictures. Here is my proud big brother son holding his 6 hour old sister, thankfully that bond has grown and here is them last week! She lovingly calls him Bam Bam and its a shame as she misses him when he's not here, each morning she gets up and goes to his bedroom door! Looking forward to getting the wee man back here tomorrow for the week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I made a jokey 'glad he's got 10 fingers' comment and then felt like an arsehole because the midwife gave me a look like she hears this about 20 times a day.Not as many as "throw and extra stitch in there doc HAHAHAHAHAH" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the experiences of Ruggys misses (sorry I can't remember her name) is absolutely nuts and it's a delight to hear how they've come through everything! Ha. I swear we should write a book about it all! In fact I deserve some sort of medal for pushing a baby out with a broken sternum and back with no painkillers Here we are out in the garden doing the Saints #passiton challenge. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Sure it wasnt her take on the performance of David Luiz?Could well have been, we watched the game at a Brazilian mate's gaff so she might have been entirely perplexed as to what Leandrao had been bumming that side up for. She's more into basketball these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly mate, it took my wife 90 minutes to get her to sleep tonight, 90 minutes later and she was up again and now in our bed so I look forward to randomly getting booted in the head at 4am with her big smile then in my face shouting "funny!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scrolled back and see she's coming up for two so it looks like you're going through a similar hell to ours. I feel for you. One of our tactics (out of desperation) was to buy a double bed and for each of us to to take turns at sleeping with him. Fucks up the whole family but one of us got a night's sleep occasionally. Now that he's 19 I, now and then, take him in a cup of tea and some toast about half an hour before he's due to get up for his work (he's on a gap year) with the 'Oh did I disturb your sleep?' look of innocence. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Edited April 9, 2020 by The_Kincardine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Being papped out of the hospital this morning, picking them up in a couple of hours. I’m sure I’ll keep you updated with whatever version of the above I end up with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
