i'm of the general opinion that most babies look like winston churchill, but that baby is just plain pretty. beautiful little girl there. so SWEET!
oh my freakin god she is so sweet! she doesn't have that usual 'old man' look most newborns have! what a pretty little girl! congrats again!
Thank you to everybody! I can't believe the amount of support we've had all over the world and especially here in the forums. Everyone here has been great and we very much appreciate it. Little Moire aka Baby Hippysphere is doing well. LOVES the boob. can't get enough, it seems. While the birth experience was far from ideal, we're just so grateful that we had a vaginal birth, which means we can try again for a home birth in the future. And that the baby is doing so well. Holly was amazed that she's already sucking on her hands. And holly's doing well herself. Not as much discomfort as she was expecting. She even refused the wheelchair on the way down. Stubborn woman. I was tempted to take the wheelchair for myself, but I'm a lazy guy like that. I'm still amazed at how that baby came out. Holly was so tired after so many hours of pain and labor. She was wanting to give up. Then the doctor had her feel the top of the baby's head. That was enough for her. She kept on pushing and pushing and not letting up. Then she started throwing up a bit. While she was spitting up, the baby shot out like a torpedo, did a somersault, and landed upright in the hands of the doctors. She deserves at least a bronze medal for that one. Wish we had a video camera for that. I started bawling like... well, a baby I guess. She's the most precious thing I've ever seen. Thank you all again for your positive vibes, prayers, well wishes, and kind thoughts. We'll have more pics to come. But for now, I'm tired and need another nap. Love, Daddy Mono
aww that story is sweet, mono your going to be a fantastic daddy... much love to all of you guys. The baby is beautiful!
thankyou guys for sharing the good news, particularly you monosphere *shakes your hand bigtime*, congratulations to you all!! And please give your two precious ladies a big sloppy kiss from me. *squish hugs everyone that all is good and beautiful and that teensy munchkins can make me feel so squishy!*
Awwwww. What a great story, Daddy Mono. I am so glad she got out the Yoni route! The first baby is usually the most difficult. That child is just beautiful. You are both blessed. And Moira is blessed to have you two as parents. YAY! They often just want to hang out there all day and night. That's cool. Auntie Maggie is very proud of Holly. Good work mama. Take good care of her (Holly), daddy Mono. Briing her good things to eat and drink and hold that baby as much as you can (I am sure you are in love with her little baby self.) Try to sleep, both of you, while she sleeps, and love her love her love her love her.
Oh, I do love her with all of my heart. I think most babies have this paralyzing "cute" virus that spreads immediately to the parents. I'm weakened by her cuteness. And totally pacified by it. Hell, after a night of screaming and crying and absolutely no sleep, all she had to do was look straight into my eyes and give a little smile when I kissed her little nose. sudden cute attack. put her on my chest and she passes out. Yeah, I think I can easily get used to this. My little poop factory(and she really is) will never be without love and that's a guarantee. I'm continuously astonished by all the support and love given by everyone here in the forums. It's amazing! If only we all lived locally so you all could see this bundle of joy which really is a result of hipforums. You guys rock! Lots of love to all of you Brian aka Monosphere
"poop factory" LOL. We know she's getting enough milk! My dh used to call our first baby "The Cheese Monster" because her burped up milk smelled just like Parmesan. After our youngest, Sage was born, her sister (the former Cheese Monster) could never eat a Cheese Blintz again, because she said, "OMG, they smell just like Sage's spit up breath." Gotta love the habits of sweet little babies. Wow, I am looking at the pic of that child. She is really beautiful.
hehe. too bad you can't experience the bittersweet joy of a baby that just doesn't wanna let go of the horrifically painful nipple. it hurts so bad but it's so perfect. makes masochists of many of us...
*is crying all over again* oh my....oh oh my... all i can ever say to you guys when i speak to you is "i love you"... and thats because it rings true so deeply from within my heart! i miss you guys so much and im so amazied and astounded by baby Moire...... ....... man i cant wait untill i get there and see you guys again...i will honestly burst into tears as soon as i see you
