Well congratulations to the new Aunts and uncles. The baby arrived at 6.51pm weighing 6lbs 7 oz which is very good to say she was only 36 weeks.We were waiting outside the ward when she was born and got to see her when she was an hour old. There was a delay because unfortunately my daughter had a haemorrhage about half an hour after the birth. That caused a huge flurry of activity, but mercifully she was fine
We spent a few hours with them and i got lots of holds of the baby, we have now come back to the house and left them at the hospital. It will be about midnight before they are moved up to the ward assuming by daughters observations continue to be good.

LOL.......Sue just explain to your bemused son that there's a weird Welshman 12,000 miles away encouraging you to be daft.

We're all nutters in Wales, it's the mountain air :)))

Oh Linda - I feel all teary. How wonderful. Your first grandchild:-))) What a good weight for an early baby. Oh I'm all excited:-))))) Give your little girl a kiss and cuddle from Aunty Sue.

I'm sure your daughter will be fine.

Sue xx

I will do Aunty Sue

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is that weight in real (metric) measure :0))

Allan

I have no idea Allan

6.5 pound = 2.948 350 405 kilogram

In two weeks this thread has been going for a year. Haven't we seen each other through a lot in that time. We've lost people but happily we have gained a new little one. Such is life.

Congratulations to the proud Mum and Dad, and the proud Grandparents - what wonderful news to cheer us all up.

Soooo pleased for you all, especially for Mum and baby daughter.

Tec.

They haven't decided on a name yet, they had a short-list which they were going to whittle down,but the early arrival caught them out

Thanks, Linda and congratulations to your daughter.

Sue, I'm a pragmatist, and a male, I don't wish to know all those gory details which women revel in at these times: I just want to know if anyone got the weight right! :0))

It takes me back to when I was working. If any of the staff were pregnant we wouls actually run a book on the birth weight. Apart from a small prize for the winner, or closest, the rest of the money raised went on buying a present for the baby and flowers for the mum!

Allan

Thank you all for your congratulations, I am really tired,so am off to bed now. If all goes well, my daughter may come out tomorrow. They were talking at first about giving her a blood transfusion, but she seemed fine, so hopefully they won't need to and she can come home to get some sleep. Poor thing looked desperately tired as she has been in hospital since Sunday night and hasn't slept.

The bubbly is opened - the corks are popping - pass your glasses, and come back soon for a refill............

I would draw a picture but don't know how - Persey does!

Tec.

Goodnight Linda, you must be tired, hope your daughter can come home tomorrow. sleep well tonight,

Tec.

Goodnight our Linda - dream of pink dresses:-))

I'll have a glass of bubbly Tec although it's still early. We must wet the baby's head:-))

Well done CC..........

Sue......I've got two cases, so it's a bottle each I reckon - cheers,
Save a bottle for Berona, and all our other friends.

Tec.

Good night Linda, and once again congratulations on attaining that exalted status, Grandmother.

Allan

A bottle each - oh dear. How will explain being tiddly at this time of morning. OH will understand because he knows the reason but my future son in law is dropping in this morning:-))

Sue xx

Hey CC I'm very competitive ie a bad loser :0))

Allan

Enjoy your day everyone Down Under,

~~~~~~~to Diane,

Goodnight
Tec.
