Newborn pics
Here is Ms. Magpie, still in the hospital at three days old. We think she is beautiful.
Delurking to say she is absolutely perfect. I am so, so thrilled for you. I can't even say how many tears I've shed for you. So pleased to finally have happy tears.
Oh just LOOK at her! So perfect. So lovely! (can't wait to meet her! trying to get down in early December!)
And well done on the photos. One of my greatest regrets is that despite having approximately 35gazillion photos of Hen, I have only a few (bad ones) from his first few days. And they grow so quickly...
Hope things are a bit easier in the feeding department & that you're getting a bit more rest. Thinking of you all every day.
So beautiful and what a lovely head! I know c-sections are the pits, but man, those newborn photos with perfect round heads almost (well, not really) make it worth it... maybe?
Also, I'm sure your doula told you, but it's totally normal for csection mamas to have a delay in your milk coming in. Plus, you were on pitocin and that slows things down. I know you're on the mend, but I just wanted you to know that you're not broken! It's all working and it just takes time. I'm sorry you're dealing with nursing struggles but I'm so happy to hear your working to find a breastfeeding solution.
What a lovely small person! Hello Ms. Magpie-- so glad to see your sweet face! Hoping that sleep has continued to improve and that nursing is a smidge less overwhelming. Also really hoping that you're done with the night sweats, because those were the pits!
She is absolutely beautiful. Try not to stress out too much about the breast feeding, she is perfect and will continue to be with or without breastmilk. Congratulations on your gorgeous daughter!
You are SO right - she is absolutely beautiful! Really and truly - not just in the "I'm saying this because it's a new baby" way - she has the loveliest little face! Well done you two!
You are SO right - she is absolutely beautiful! Really and truly - not just in the "I'm saying this because it's a new baby" way - she has the loveliest little face! Well done you two!
She is just lovely, and I am so thrilled for you both. I look forward to reading about the adventures of your family and how Magpie grows and how your puppy dog likes being a " big sister".
I am not quite sure that beautiful even accurately depicts her because she is beyond beautiful!!! Just so incredibly beautiful! Many congrats again and I can't wait to watch her grow and read all about it.
That is one beautiful wide-awake baby.x One of my friends used to say 'this one's been here before'...hmmmmm Hope you are all settling down together, as one of my (UK)Health visitors ( I don't know what the US equivalent is ) used to say....''Trust your instincts,,What do YOU feel is right for you and your baby '' She was a wonderful lady and gave me so much confidence in myself, even though it was a good few( !!! ha ha many ) years ago. You have one beautiful little girl there.x Anne.uk.
Long-time lurker coming out of hiding to say congratulations - she is truly one of the prettiest babies I've ever seen...so very happy that you are finally holding your dream.
How absolutely precious is that little face? Good heavens, she is a pretty picture. Give her a hug and a kiss from me please. Much love to all three of you.
She is beautiful, indeed! My daughter is five months old today, so I know how overwhelmingly happy you are. (And how overwhelmed in general.) I now encourage everyone to get a night nurse/doula, particularly during the first few weeks-- even if you're breastfeeding constantly, a night nurse/doula is a huge help and you definitely get more rest. It's worth it, I promise! And congratulations again!!!
I don't say this lightly, because I'm not one of those people who thinks all newborns are beautiful: She is perfect. Lovely and so alert! Congratulations!
Delurking to say she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I'd been hoping we'd get to see Ms. Magpie, and she is lovely. I hope you're doing well. Love the pictures, and the top one with the tiny newborn fingers? Ooooooh, preciousness! Longtime Lurker Chris
Love the photo, and am looking forward to your *ONE MONTH OLD* post soon! Wow-- so glad that you're a mama; and I hope that the feeding issues are getting better and that sleep is coming more easily and life is slowly transitioning to a new for you normal.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and what a lovely head! I know c-sections are the pits, but man, those newborn photos with perfect round heads almost (well, not really) make it worth it... maybe?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sure your doula told you, but it's totally normal for csection mamas to have a delay in your milk coming in. Plus, you were on pitocin and that slows things down.

ReplyDeleteBest. Looking. Newborn. Ever. Gosh, at three months ... you will have Helen of Baby Troy on your hands. Not sucking up.
ReplyDeleteI would cast her. ;-)
Enjoy. Congrats!! So happy for you.
Best wishes.
She is ridiculously cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI was in labor for like 18 hours and threw up for about half of it. Soooo not fun!
Um... your anesthesia FAILED??? OMG!
The first few weeks. No, ok, the first few months, are really tiring. But it gets easier.
Wishing you rest and healing. Love and snuggle her lots (like I have to tell you that, right?), but it really does go so fast.
Hugs!
ADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous! Well done. Xxx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just a dream come true?!? She is beautiful
