He, in fact, arrived on his due date, here-time. We can call him Punctual.
Yeah, the only time I had more than a couple minutes between contractions was when I was getting ready to push. I ended up running the contraction timer since DH had to get the car in order right quick.
He came out so fast, his head isn't pointy, and his lungs were kind of gurgle-y at first (not enough time/pressure to squeeze all the fluid out).
While he's eating pretty well, a couple of times he's given the "feed me" signs and then just fallen asleep while Communing with The Boob without latching at all.
Congratulations to Debet and fam!!
Oofda, I'm all bedraggled and tired because JZ and Matilda got up at 4am in prep for their flight to Greece, and I helped them get ready and down to the street for the cab.
They've already completed the first leg from SF to NJ, and from there they go directly to Greece where family picks them up.
Debet! Congratulations! Bobby had the perfect apple head since he was a quickie too. Thank dad for the wonderful pictures. He made me tear up! It takes a few days for the feeding thing to work out. Right now he is likely pretty exhausted. Well done!
I'm sure it's exhausting to be a baby, so much to learn, like latching and breathing and what are those things on the ends of my hands and why does my bum feel wet and all that. He'll get with the program, I'm sure.
In the mean time, congrats Debet!!!!
YAY BABY!!!
And JZ and Matilda are going to Greece? That's so cool!
It feels like everyone is having an exciting vacation right now.
And JZ and Matilda are going to Greece? That's so cool!
Going to stay with family no less.
Her dad surprised Jacqueline for her 50th birthday last summer and said, "I'm going to send you and Matilda to Greece for your birthday!" And she said, "I need more than one week's notice because we plan out Matilda's summer about 6 months in advance. Also you are giving me a massive anxiety attack."
So we pushed it back a year and off they go. Matilda's first international travel. I think her last flight was to Seattle for the F2F.
I am looking forward to the adventures of JZ and Matilda in Greece. One of my basketball kids is headed there to play ball and I told DH that we really need to go visit him.
Debet, you need to post your announcement in Beep Me! I mean if ever there was a Beep Me event this whole giving birth thing qualifies.
