Any news?

@Kelliria. I had the one nurse, the doctors helper and then my doctor himself. Doctor has been so good throughout the entire pregnancy. With my job, I deal with nurses and doctors so have dealt with him before.

@neomasie. I think you need just a few more esclaimation marks as one can have as many as they like.

@dragonfly23 - Congratulations! He is so precious. Enjoy all the newborn cuddles and I hope your DH steps up and helps with him. It does sound like he will. I’m glad it all went well.

Isn’t is something to think that a year ago I met you on these boards and we were both TTC? Now your journey is complete and I am overnight half way there. Thank you for all the love and support you’ve given me this past year and I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness with your family for four.

@dragonfly23: OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS Mama!!! He is finally here!! Welcome cute, little Isaiah (lovely name!! :)). It's great to hear that you're doing well and that he's breastfeeding nicely already! :) Great job Mama! :) Now get rest whenever you can and eat! :) Isaiah is so sweet! :) Awwwwww..... I'm SO happy to hear the news! Big hugs!! xoxo

Dragonfly- congratulations!!!! He is precious!! I love the name that is on boy list as well!
Yes get some rest and eat and enjoy the new journey. again!

Ooops my page clearly hadn't updated when I put my last comment. Congratulations Dragonfly23 what a beautiful baby boy....enjoy! Hope all is going well for you?
as for your husband I'd probably just ask him to be honest why he didn't say rather than worry Congratulations again on the safe arrival of your beautiful boy xxx

Way to go @Dragonfly23! He is absolutely beautiful!! I absolutely plan to find out gender. I just ordered the sneak peek test and so anxious lol. I currently have 3 boys so my prayer is definitely that this is my baby girl!
@Beaut1ful yay, cant wait to see the new scan!
@kelliria and @neomasie thank you ladies

@Lakarmw re: your baby shower organized by your sister-if you're really uncomfortable with it, i'd just insist to her that she shouldn't go through the trouble and that you're not feeling up to it. The unfortunate part about it is if you go, you really cant dictate who is invited as its organized for you. as frustrating as it may be. and i fully agree with you that this sounds like more of an event for her and like she's kind of doing it out of obligation, as opposed to genuinely doing it out of the kindness of her heart.

I had sort of a similar situation going on where my sisters knew i didnt want anything but felt obligated, i think, to some extent. But what they planned was kind of a half ass type thing that wasn't much different to a normal family sunday where we all go to my parents house, except there'd be snacks. no friends. so it'd just be the 3 of us. I realized that i'm sure part of the reason for this was because there is just so much going on in our lives at the moment that i just told them i appreciated the gesture, but to not go to any trouble and lets just nix the idea all together. Look, i didnt want some big extravaganza, but I also didnt want some pity party.

@dragonfly23 glad to hear you and baby Isaiah are doing well and all set to go home!
I hope you're able to stave off PPD but as you know, please get help if you see the signs creeping up.
please dont be a stranger, but we perfectly understand you taking time off to enjoy your new addition and spend time with your family!

and we love you too and thanks for the well wishes!

Thanks @Neomasie, I'm just going to turn up, smile and thank everyone i think...easier than causing a drama in our family, I'll only be accused of being 'hormonal' it's only 2 hours of my day I guess and I could always leave early if I don't feel up to it. She has booked it at a venue and i know theres a cake so I guess cancelling would seem ungrateful. Thank you for your kind words...I hope your doing ok?
Dragonfly23 glad to hear all is going well hope your breasts feel better soon and all goes to plan.
I turned 36 weeks today it's seems so close and still so far all at the same time....I feel quite grumpy today, for no apparently reason just everything annoys me haha. xxx
