Welcoming…

We are delighted to announce the safe arrival of Evelyn Kathleen. Born at 4.02pm and weIghing 2.385kg (5lb2oz).

Evelyn is spending some time in the Special Care nursery, just while they assess her feeding. However she has avoided a nasal gastric tube, due to her ability to breastfeed for 40 minutes straight. Not bad for a suspected Preemie. (34ish weeks, but she’s acting like a 36+ week baby at present.)

I am doing as well as can be expected, which is to say I am hormonal and teary. But my vagina isn’t broken and that is always a bonus!

    How wonderful. You are so beautiful, Evelyn. You share the birth day with my friend’s baby Ellena who was 8lb15oz when she was born in Gladstone yesterday. She is nearly twice as big as you.Well done to your special family. I was sure you were going to wait until Wednesday to arrive!

    Hooray! Congratulations! I can’t believe she made it out only two weeks after Henry (almost exactly too!). Finally got to click through to Facebook and she’s goooorgeous. Looking forward to all the updates as she gets big and strong. Much love to you all.

    Congratulations to you all. I can’t wait to see pictures of her! Here’s to Evelyn getting out of special care and beside you as quickly as possible. Being parted from your newborn is torturous, I know. Hang in there, as long as she keeps feeding well you’ll have her soon. Mind you, it’d be nice if they realised that feeding would go more smoothly if she were with you constantly. Ah doctors, so intelligent and yet so utterly stupid. Love to you. xxxxxx
