Congrats primal!!!
Congrats to you both they are adorable :)
I can't get a pic to upload from my phone. Will keep trying.
Little baby Jones super cutie!! Primal Felix is just gorgeous, pretty amazing photos, how are you feeling?? Baby beau how you doing? Is BF getting any easier ? Love to see a photo when you get time!! What did you call your princess ? Xxx
♡ cute babies everywhere
Recovery is WORSE this time than either of my emergencies. They got me up to shower this morning & I fainted 3 times & when I came around the 3rd time I had forgotten where I was & that I had ever been pregnant let alone had a baby. However, Felix is lovely & I am rather besotted. My older boys are fascinated with him, they came to meet him yesterday & Eamon asked "Can we keep him mummy? Can he live in our home?" [emoji170] Here's a bit more baby spam because AWWWW! Attachment 25274Attachment 25275Attachment 25276

Wow, what a scary recovery. I hope you're feeling better soon. Did they put a drip in? Such a gorgeous little man and what an adorable comment from your son.
Yes Boysway I lost 950ml blood in surgery, my blood pressure had dropped to 80/50 & my hemoglobin was only 83 so they put a drip in & were also looking at a blood transfusion but I declined because there is a shortage of blood donors here ATM & mine will replenish over the next few days. I would rather leave it for emergency victims.

You poor thing, I thought you must have lost blood. I haemorraged after I had my last child because the labour was so fast. They kept me in the birthing unit overnight and I passed out when the midwife was out of the room while getting myself ready for a shower. I had to have IV fluids through the night and had an unknown amount of blood loss. Make sure they talk to you about upping your iron levels. I was lucky enough to avoid the shots for my iron levels but needed to be on a high dose of iron tablets for 6 months after I had bub.
Coolest pics ever Primal!! He is wonderful. Congrats! I'm sorry to hear of your rough recovery. I hope it gets easier soon.
I hope you are doing better Primal! Great pics of delivery, just amazing!!
Just had a half wit tell me I have to keep going til I get a boy, pardon my language, but I really wanted to scream - go f**k yourself... sorry had to get that out. I can't cope with the stupid comments they just depress me
No no no no, just not on... xxxxQuote:

Congrats on the new Bubbas!! Gorgeous pictures.
Primal, what an amazing c-section! A fantastic birth in pictures to cherish!
I hope you recover well soon.
Sorry I haven't been on here much - have been busy with my little monsters...had a few bad days there and then with GD especially when I found out my step sister is expecting her first bb and its a girl and just random bb girls everywhere lol ....Diego is adorable though, a very chilled out and contended baby , he also sleep through now which isn't bad at 11weeks!
Thinking of you all. Love for now xxxx
Raaahhhh Babybeau people are dicks. I haven't left the house yet (Felix is only 6 days old & I'm still tender from the caesarean) but I'm bracing myself for the "Oh, ANOTHER boy?!" remarks when I do. I am so in love with my new little son, I'm thrilled he is here & wouldn't swap him for anything... That being said if HT was introduced in Australia in the next couple of years (unlikely) I would be VERY tempted to have a fourth given I would know for sure it would be a little girl. But in reality - I'll be 35 in a few weeks, we are now a family of 5 living in a 3 bedroom house & I want to go back to University to study midwifery. So I think my days of babies & pregnancy & birth are sadly behind me. I can't believe I will never grow another person in my body, & that this little guy is my last newborn ever. The last 6 years have changed me & it's hard to remember what life was like before I had babies, but time has gone in a flash & I can't believe I'm on the other side of the motherhood hill, the side where kids grow up & no one new comes in to take their place & the baby goods are sold or given away instead of packed away for the next one, and no one in the whole house will wear nappies. Sigh.

Wave Lavie!! Update us with another PIC of that gorgeous Diego. Isn't GD a bitch!!! I'm with you primal this is my last and its bittersweet... She is already out of her newborn clothes and into 0-3 mths time is flying I just want it to slow down a bit. I just know I will want another when she gets to 18mths - 2!! But it would be literally over my husbands dead body!!! He has made me promise I will not nag him for another.... Xx
Primal you have taken the words out of my mouth, I am so depressed thinking about how I will never be pregnant or have a newborn again... If I was guaranteed to def get pregnant with ht I would seriously consider it, but all that money for it not to work is too much of a sacrifice. I'm 35 now, and would def not want to be much older if we were to try again. Also we couldn't afford a bigger car and there's the mc risk I couldn't cope with again.
I was nice with the lame ass comments with DD3 but I wouldn't be so nice this time around.Quote:

Here is Miss Hazel, seven weeks old already ( still rocking a very full head of hair) time has flown by!! How is everybody? Xx

Here is miss Adalynn Grace.
She is just shy of 3 months now. Where has the time gone! She is 14 pounds. And is 98% taller than most babies her age accirding to her doc. Lol . My babies are never small. She sleeps through the night mostly but only naps in the day for like 30 min a time. But no complaints. She is a happy baby.
How is everyone else doing?
Kitkat Hazel is adorable! !
Oh my goodness those babies are too too sweet!!! :kiss::HH:
Robin Miss Adalynn is so beautiful!! And lucky you ( jealous) she is sleeping through. You can cope with anything if nights are good.
Baby beau how is your princess doing? Do your older girls dote on her?
Primal how are you recovering from your section?
Xx
Yep I'm pretty good now kitkat. Felix is 2 weeks old now & has developed reflux & a windy tummy which is pretty disappointing for everyone but at least it means I have to clean up my diet. I've eliminated dairy, grains (especially gluten), legumes, capsicum, garlic & onion & hoping I don't have to go too much further than that. I've also introduced more fermented foods again (kefir & sauerkraut) which I needed to do for my own good anyway after all the antibiotics from the caesarean but I was being lazy. He has a lot of issues with really violent hiccups too so I'm taking him to the Chiropractor today, it helped Darcy enormously who had the same issues as a baby.

Primal your boys are so gorgeous! And Felix is soooo cute! I have had a very windy baby here too its been much harder this time round especially the NOT sleeping at night. She seems a lot better at 7 weeks. Hope the chiropractor makes a big difference, I have heard they can work miracles! Xx
I'm melting here! Your babies are so gorgeous ladies Xx
Covered in blue are you TTC now? x
Yes :). I'm CD5 of second month. Xx
I had to go to the shops Today & I was carrying Felix in a wrap. An old lady asked how old he was & then asked if he was a boy or a girl. I said a boy & she looked at Eamon & said "Oh ANOTHER boy, I bet you were disappointed, TWO boys" and I said "Actually I have THREE boys, the eldest one is at school & I couldn't be LESS disappointed if I tried. They're wonderful." And she said - and I am not joking - that she would have shot herself if she had 3 boys.

What a f**king old witch. Tell her to piss off and die, the miserable crone.sorry, just makes me so mad!!:hair:
I bet she's a lonely old git. She'd have shit a brick if she knew I had 5 the same lol
Kitkat my 9 year old (DD2) is besotted with the baby the others love her but she's the one who wants to look after her, and goes on about how cute she is lol
Must be something about all of us bcos she's very windy too. I'm back to 95% breastfeeding after all the drama at the start. It still hurts for a few seconds then is ok. Not sure why?
Omg!!!!! I would have gone totally batshit crazy on her! What a horrible disgusting thing to say. I probably would have retorted with something like her kids would be better off then (if she shot herself) Haha! Yup i am horrible!Quote:

Awesome BF has worked out for you, probably just your nipples getting use to your babies latch?
Primal I would have been so mad what a horrible horrible cow. Sounds you handled the situation really well I would have wanted to swear at her!!!
Really people like that don't deserve our time at all.
Big hugs!
What are you ladies doing to treat the wind? Xx
Omg, I would of lost it if I were you. Why do people think they can say such hurtful things?? Ridiculous
I was so shocked I just went "oh." And I'm so annoyed at myself I keep thinking of all sorts of witty retorts I could have made but too little, too late. I took Felix to a pediatric chiropractor yesterday for his wind. They were miracle workers with Darcy. She released his diaphragm, he did an enormous belch & fell asleep in my arms almost instantly. He slept for about 6 hours straight! Then woke up and started going the other end - big loud farts & poos for ages. He was in a bit of pain getting it all out but his little belly looked so much better than it had done and was so much softer, it had been like a balloon stretched to maximum inflation point. We had a restless night last night but I think that was because he had slept all day. I'm hoping he continues to get relief from it, we are taking him back in a week.

If I had a dime for every time someone else I'd shot myself with all boys...3 boys 4 boys etc. now that I have 4 it's worse. My comments are I love all boys. I'm the queen of the castle. I'm one away from a basketball team. MY buys are the next jk as brothers. Etc etc etc. people are cruel aren't they? Sorry it happened to you primal.

How is everyone?
I'm still really annoyed at things I didn't get to do and how my birth went. Just found out dh asked to cut babys cord and was ignored, midwife went ahead and did it. I never got my water birth (again) despite asking again and again. This was my first time at that hospital and it was exactly how I imagined. No help with b/feeding and no pain relief offered for afterpains which were the worst I've ever had (plus the fact I had the placenta removed manually with only gas and air) no little card with babys details on it for her cot and I didn't even get any ID wristband. Useless.
Baby beau I am so sorry that you didn't get the birth you wished for. It seems that a lot of mothers are feeling disgruntled at how they were treated here in NZ as well. Perhaps you should write them a letter or email it might be healing for you. We are good Hazel is smiling a lot and cooing which makes it all worthwhile! Xxx
That's terrible beau. I would making a complaint. It's your right to have your choice, it was your labour!
