Christmas morning was looking like a quiet day. Did the presents, had a feed of prawns for breakfast, popped a movie on and sat back with my feet up. Two hours later we were in the car and off like a rocket.

Olivia Rose, now know as The Frog, born 1.30am Boxing day. 8lbs 5, 52cm.

I had hoped to log in earlier but the nephew, name changing to Magoo, got iTunes gift cards for Christmas and used my download allowance up.

Too bad if your not happy with the out come….might hurt a tad putting her back where she came from;P

>might hurt a tad putting her back where she came from;P

I’ve been around when doting mothers are showing off the newies, and suggesting putting them back because they aren’t done yet does NOT go down well..

Good for MsB, sympathies to Mum.
After my first I think I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.LOL
I literally couldn’t imagine putting myself through that torture again, but you do forget, and if it’s any consolation the next one is HEAPS easier. That’s if you intend to have anymore.

When The Frog was about 10 minutes old I was getting a cuddle before they whipped her off to special care and ms B asked me if we were going to have another, I thought the midwife was going to jump the bed and have her until I said yes :) We have three embryos in storage and I just loved being pregnant, so we are planning another try around August.

Ahh. OK. Now I get it.

Got confused with the Ms & Ms business. Don’t have a problem with that at all but the shrouded references confused me a little.

Congratulations to the Mses!

I think all first borns should go back after about 6 months. They are good to practice on so you can handle no2 with a lot more ease.

There are penguins on the teev last night that gave up egg #1 each season for the predators only to put a better effort into #2…

I used to call her Miss B when we were over at GA but found out everyone thought she was my daughter, had a little competition and the consensus was she should be called Ms B. Sorry for any confusion.
This is going to make her laugh, she says that the other gardeners here are the only friends I regularly keep in touch with :)

It took ten years to convince Ms B to start a family and now she wants to have seven (looking for the ouch smiley).

Oooh lots of cute rugrats :) Olivia is gorgeous.

We tried for the even half doz but one was a miss and we made it to 5.
I do miss those ‘little kids doing funny things’ days , so I’ll be looking forward to hearing about Olivia’s antics :D

WOW 10 years, no wonder the little sweetie is so perfect, would love to know more, weight etc……She sure dont look new born, such a healthy little thing :)

She was nice and fat from the womb, has lost a bit of weight now and prolly weighs just under the 8lb mark. She is 52cm long and hadnt started pulling her legs up yet in the photo, only two hours old there so looks bigger than she does now. Appetite is ravenous so there should be a growth spurt comming up soon.

Fascinating or daft? I ain’t sure? But apparently most mammals have a false attempt the first or second time they try to go full term….
