Either I'm too tired, or I'm missing it for the lack of good sight, though I looked through the thread twice - have the name given been named (apart from joking up there about combining davem and lalwende)?

Congratulations Lal and Davem! =) as we'd say in my family "que cosha golda!" ("cosa gorda" which is literally translated to "chubby thing" but that is NOT the meaning... it means rather a cute lil' one

)

I'm of the opinion that, when it comes to babies, the two are synonymous anyway.

He's adorable!
Lal & Dave, though I congratulated you elsewhere, why not here as well? Can't have too much celebration! Make the most of every minute - little ones grow up far too quickly.

A slightly belated congratulations to both of you, he is a cutie! Can't say how it pleases me to see the "dating-success" of the Downs resulting in a next generation (having been happily married to a downer for 3 years now, myself)

Congratulations!! That's so exciting, and I'm so happy for you both! He's gorgeous!

Folwren · 10-15-2007, 07:23 PM

Congratulations!

Something funny - I just met a one month old just barely the same weight as this newcomer when he was first born!

Hope all is going well with you, Lal, and your recovery. My Mom had three Ceasarians. No fun.

Blessings!

I'm back.

Well I have a thousand and one things to do and am verrry tired, but my first task shall be to come on here. We came home yesterday evening. Davem said he'd do the through the night thing last night and is now in a sate of severe shock - I'd already done four nights of this in the hospital so I was quite happy to give him a turn but the little tyke decided to give him the run around and not induct him in lightly. Meh.

It's quite funny how quickly you fall into casual talk of sore bums and the colour of poop. Saying "What has it got in it's pocketses?" adds amusement to the task... I'm quite taken with the concept of modern medicine as the hospital team did a great job and despite still walking around at little old lady pace and whining when I climb the stairs as I can feel the stitches pulling, I was up and on my feet within 12 hours of the event. There's nothing to be scared of really, painkillers are excellent these days and then afterwards nature shows you what to do.

Now I need to look up what Middle-earth events took place on his birthday - off the top of me head, I think this was when Frodo was fleeing to Rivendell wasn't it?

No, it hasn't. We're still thinking...... We do have one in mind, & I'll let you know when we've finally decided.....

a new little baby
such a heavenly sight
he'll steal your heart by day
and your sleep at night*

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I am so happy for you both (Wow, I thought my boy of 9lbs2oz was big!). He is so cute and smells good, too. Yes, I can smell through the computer. Just so excited for you both. It is an amazing feeling when a tiny little person has been on this earth not so very long but then you can't imagine them not being a part of your life.

Maybe not too quickly but for some of us we never learn. Mr. Holby and I are trying for our 5th. Take note, Alatar, we are going to break the tie
