What made you smile today?

Oh @Jen congratulations!!! I love that it worked out this way so you didn't have to sit around waiting for D-day.

Rory is wonderful, and what a beautiful name too. Does he have a middle name (please let it be Stanley, please let it be Stanley...)?

C section babies often look a lot prettier than v birth ones not so squished.

Yep! I love it when people have a newborn, natural birth, and people say oohhh they're beautiful and I'm thinking "umm, squished up alien right there!"

OH and I sat in the hospital after Nathan was born questioning whether he looked cute or whether he looked like an alien but our biased eyes could only see cute

Oh he is just beautiful @Jen
Congratulations!!

 

[Jen]

Does he have a middle name (please let it be Stanley, please let it be Stanley...)?

No middle name OH wouldn’t agree to Stanley, so nothing else seemed good enough.

Tbf, OH didn’t like Rory. It’s his middle name and he’s not a fan. But it’s been my favourite all along and after the birth I knew I could’ve got away with anything so I took advantage

Have a good rest Jen and enjoy your lovely men.

Did I say more photos please?

 

[Naya]

Wow, well done, what course are you doing?

I’m doing an undergraduate degree in Leadership and Management (in 7 months!)

I was sitting at my desk at work and noticed that my pencil has an Ella hair in it. I have no idea how it managed to get in there

@Jen and Nathan, congratulations, Rory is gorgeous. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the c section.

My 15 year old daughter painted this - I’m trying to convince her to do more about it

 

[Jacqui-S]

Wow! she is really good @Leanne
Does she not realise how good she is?

 

[Cath]

Wonderful

 

[Leanne]

She is really great at Art but does the whole panic every time her test results etc come back... she had a teacher in primary who told her that she wasn’t naturally gifted at Art and it’s really stuck with her, despite the fact that her Art teacher now thinks she’s amazing and she’s expected to get an A in her GCSE

 

[Leanne]

This is some of her work

@Jen how was your first night being a human mummy? Has Stanley met Rory yet?

 

[Candy]

She really is just a little bit very good, isn't she?! I think you have very talented children, Leanne.

 

[Jen]

@Jen how was your first night being a human mummy? Has Stanley met Rory yet?

It was ok. I couldn’t really do a lot with having a csection.

No hopefully we’ll be able to go home tomorrow but it depends on how mobile I am and how the little guy js feeding x

 

[Leanne]

@Jen just remember that you can feel a bit flat for the next few days... totally and utterly normal!

 

[Candy]

Absolutely second that! Just take the time you need. We'll all still be here and so will Stanley. xxx

@Leanne your daughter is incredibly talented. What kind of teacher says that to a child regardless of their talent or lack of it? He/she is in the wrong job.

@Jen, I hope your recovery is speedy so you can go home and settle into your new life with your gorgeous little one.

Can’t resist smiling at this



This is her post walk snooze and the sun is coming in onto her bed. One contented dog

It was about 8 years ago now (she bears a grudge! )
