You guys were next to know, I swear!

Yes, yes, yes... My wee Henry is here.

1 week ago today my cervix was closed up tight but the early morning hours on Thursday saw a lightening fast labor - 4 hours.

DS1 was sleeping when we left for the hospital and got to come visit by lunchtime. He's responded really well to the new baby and we're all really happy and healthy, though DS1's happiness is probably greatly augmented by the fact that MIL is visiting from the UK and lavishing him with tooooonnnns of attention.

Thanks so much for the shout out and the happy thoughts! I'll PIP when I get a chance(my laptop is still fairly new and I still(embarassingly) need DH to upload pics from my phone and camera.

Pics to come as I still haven't had them put on my lappie.

Middle name is Ian, Henry Ian. DH picked it out. I wasn't copying, honest

He was 6lbs14oz and 19.5 inches; 8/9 Apgar(the cord was around his neck, which slowed him down in the beginning); perfect everything ever since. I just went to the BFing clinic to have him weighed and check my supply and he's almost back to his birth weight, my supply is rockin' and he's nursing like a champ. We just need to get rid of the last of the jaundice.

Yay Stever!  Congrats to you and your family!!  

I am in LOVE with the name you choose.  Henry is the American version of my grandfather's name I would love to use it but my DH is not sold.  (I don't know why we even come up with boy names I'm going to end up with 5 girls anyway, LOL!)

So glad for a speedy delivery!  My second came quickly too and it was so much better than the 16 hours waiting for DD#1.

Can't wait to see pictures!

I wouldn't have cared if you HAD copied! I absolutely love Ian. DD hated it, however. So, the over PG >35 has three Henry's in 2 mos, lol. 

Glad the BFing is going well. Here's hopin you have a speedy recovery. I recommend Mama Bottom Balm once the stitches start healing. They helps with my skids.

My bum is killing me so this will come in handy. Sadly it's sold out at diapers.com so I'm getting Bottom Spray to tide me over until it's back in stock.

Congrats!!  Your kids are too cute!!  We were on TTC after 35 board together.  We are trying for baby #2 this is our first cycle of trying.  My daughter turned two a few months ago and wanted her to be around three before we had our second child.  I am now 38 and wanted to have our last pregnancy before I turned 40.  I am excited and scared since we lost our first pregnancy and was scared most of the time during my second pregnancy with our daughter.  Hoping for a healthy and happy pregnancy this second time.  We will see how long it takes us hubby is hopeful it  will be in the next few months he is so excited. I was glad to hear your son was able to visit you in the hospital I am not sure if they will allow my daughter to visit us but will be checking on that since I don't want to be separated from her for too long though I know she adores my parents and they will be taking care of her. It is good to know your son was able to see you in the hospital I would love my daughter to be able to see us as well.  Congrats again!!!

Yay! I remember you. You used to be Jrosehistory, right?

And yeah, I loved that DS1 was welcome at the hospital. I'd never spent the night away from him so was in a bit of a panic, but we got to see him a few hours after I delivered

 Good luck with TTC#2! And don't be a stranger!
