Florence had arrived

Post by caz1 »

just popped on to say our beautiful darling MIRACLE arrived on Thursday, weighing 6lbs 9.
She is wonderful..........little bit jaundiced but wonderful
Labour was fine - epidurals ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! But the hard bit definately starts afterwards - I feel TOTALLY unqualified and not sure I'll ever sleep again

Big XX
Thankyou for all you support - will try to come on soon

Congratulations Caz and welcome to Florence!

You'll be amazed at how quickly you adjust to being a Mummy ... and to the lack of sleep. Enjoy!

Hi Caz,
Congratulations! I am so happy to hear you have your beautiful daughter after all the worry of the last 9 months and the efforts before. I almost think no one else can understand what a rollercoaster it is for people like us to have a pregnancy which is for some the easiest thing in the world.
As for feeling incompetent - tell me about it! I felt like the most inept and insecure mother ever when Alexander and Nadia first arrived. This also changes! Not that I feel like I know everything 3 months on, but we are coping and that already feels like an achievement.
Florence's birthweight seems quite fine by the way - after the worry about the small bump and protein in the urine - I guess it was indeed a false alarm.
once again, I am very happy for you!

Caz

What fantastic news! Welcome to Florence. It's a lovely name. A great friend of mine has a Florence who is a very placid, even-tempered little girl, so...........!

She was hardly very small. It just goes to show they don't always get it right.

As for being a mother, don't worry. You will pick it up as you go along. Trust your instincts and your common sense and you'll be fine.

Enjoy being a family.

Love Fiona
