Amelia Violet- my baby girl!

congratulations!!! I'm sure she's absolutely beautiful (no facebook either lol) and I also love the name

 

Congrats!!!

 

Labor sounds crazy! I couldnt see the pics either , you should post them here! Congratulations!

 

Being home is surreal and amazing.


Facebook said the link should work for everyone... lies. When I get a chance I will try to post pictures.

 

what? no apostrophe? do I have to get all elaine from that seinfeld episode on you? :tongue:

 

I don't think the problem is that we don't have Facebook, I think the link you posted doesn't work. Notice the ... in there, most URL's don't have that. Go to your Facebook album and copy the link from your address bar instead.

 

Okay... maybe this will work.

Awww.. Sweet.

 

The first link worked for me! She's so cute! I want to cuddle her.

 

i assume you named her after amelia bedelia and violet beauregarde..?





just kidding, congratulations:cheers2:

 

Violet was my great grandmothers name and Amelia came out of nowhere. John is worried she will get made fun of... Amelia Bedelia but I don't know.

She is such a good baby, naps all day and is finally getting the hang of breastfeeding! It is hard, hard work.

 

kids these days dont even get read the amelia bedelia books, i dont think.

its a fine name, and if she gets made fun of then she can just start going by amy :cheers2:

 

I have a friend named Amelia. Some of her friends called her Amelia Bedelia, but it was like a sweet thing, not making fun of her.

 

You could get made fun of most names tbh. At least with that name they'll need to be creative with their rhyming.

EDIT: I'd like to now point out that I've never heard of this Bedelia woman, book, thing... So chances they won't are in your favour.

 

Hiro....wow...that was a tough labor. Man, I didn't have a good story either but you beat me.

Congrats. I love the name too! Also don't have facebook. But I could see those links. She is gorgeous and you look absolutely radiant!

 

yes, but you're british. in the civilized world, children get things called "picture books"

 

The scribble book. The most amazing book EVER. Fuck Stephen King or Rowling, you scribble in it! Checked it out at the tate modern.. It has things like, kill the evil monsters by scribbling over them and draw in the food or the pollution from the exhaust pipes. On one page you needed to scribble the petals on flowers, on another you had to scribble the weather in.

 

Yay! I could finally see the pics, and she IS absolutely beautiful! Ohhh, I just wanna hold her so bad! I miss holding little babies. Awww!

And you've got the new mommy glow going on pretty mama!

Glad to hear all is well, and yeah, I won't lie, it's hard work. But you'll get through it, I promise! Before you know it, you'll be a pro. And if you ever need to talk, vent, whatever, I'm here. I remember what it's like in those beginning days!

{{{Hugs}}}

 

You are absolutely too kind. I am having such a hard time with bf! Amelia is finally gaining weight back to 8 lbs 4 oz!!! Since Thursday! I am worried I just don't make enough milk! I pump only .25 oz after every feeding.... which is not enough. Amelia is still sleeping well but fighting naps during the day so I am trying a new formula...

John and I have an amazing routine down with the baby at night and in the mornings before he goes to work. All in all I really happy but wishing she would nap more during the day again... She gets fussy around 8 because she hasn't napped a long nap during the day and then is over tired!
