| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Thank you very much everyone for your kind words. I found out the weight last night when I went out to the hospital, 7 pound, 3 ounces. My MIL is down now as I picked her up from the airport this morning, so we will take some pics this afternoon when we all go out and visit. I will post them later tonight, my time, so everyone can see the little fella. He rocks...
Alexander met his new little brother last night and gave him a pat, then poked him in the eye and tried to stick his finger up his nose. Brotherly love is already upon us. I now have a house to clean... for those who have experienced / witnessed birth, you can imagine as it was a home birth. Some much needed disinfecting to do. |

Oh my goodness!
I didn't realize it was a home birth!
Because I worked on the hospital maternity ward... I know exactly what kind of mess you are talking about...
was there a reason Kerrie-ann didn't go to the hospital for the birth?
Or was it a personal choice? |

Ahhh just a little mess LOL, but I am sure well worth it. But it is truly a magical moment when intervention not needed is not there. But glad we live in a time it is there when it is actually needed! It is so special. I did not know they ship offf to the hospital after birth, any reason or just how things are done out there? My midwife stayed for about 6 hours after birth with me and help make food and get everyone settled in and make sure all went well into the morning.
I love the new brother meeting too funny, it already has begun!
I swear I still have padding and "catch-alls" in my upstairs closet. Yeah, I need to clean this place out, like why do I need them? Someone going to show up on my door step and unexpetedly have a babe LOL?
I "loved" one of my hospital baby experiences, ran out of private rooms. I had to share with a major screamer. I mean paint off the walls at every little contraction... I think I was screaming louder than her to give her the drugs LOL. Anything to chill that lady out. All I could guess was it was her first rodeo. Wonder if she had anymore?  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
