lord_seagrave Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 After an agonisingly long labour, Little Lord Seagrave was born yesterday morning at 2am. 7lb 5oz Lady Seagrave exhausted, battered and bruised, but smiling today. Our massive thanks to all at the Birth Centre at St. Mary's Paddington. Absolutely 5* attention and support from an experienced and capable team. Had I not seen it myself, I would not have believed that such personalised and dedicated care was available on the NHS - I don't think I'll ever gripe about Nation Insurance Contributions again.

keg Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Congratulations sir!. We had an ejection seat job and the NHS were brilliant, they made her and delivered her. ( IVF and emergency C section delivery :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Congratulations, it's a magical (and exhausting!) time that flies by all too quickly - enjoy every minute. When we had our first I couldn't believe the midwife just let us take a real life baby home without some intensive training or some form of licence, I'm still learning too.

Gordon R Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Congratulations and I hope all are well. Kiss goodbye to the contents of your wallet. We tend to gripe at the NHS - and it has its flaws - nearly killed me - but overall, they do a fantastic job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Well done, the pair of you, and if I can offer a little advice, given to me by my first chief accountant (who seemed terribly old and wise at the time, but was probably only 40), some 38 years ago, when we had our first-born. You will be there at silly o'clock, pacing the bedroom floor, cuddling the young master, who will, of course, be bawling his head off. You won't have slept for weeks. You may even have a work deadline first thing in the morning that you have to be alert and ready for. The little tyke has a clean nappy, has been fed, winded and Calpoled, the nursery is the right temperature and favourite teddy is in the cot. Yet still he won't sleep. So you think - Can this get any worse? And the answer to this question is ............ ........ there is no answer. As soon as you find a solution to one problem, the little devils mutate and another problem arises, and so on for the next 20 or 30 years, when they present you with grandchildren. Then it starts all over again. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margun Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Congratulations mate! Had ours last weekend with a similar story to yours, but what a great (and tiring) feeling! Know how you're feeling. Did you drive home looking in your mirrors like you're taking your driving test again? Word of advice, there's no such thing as a nappy that's too tight. No prizes for a well channelled and powered baby shi-ite up your arm over the nice new nursery... Best of luck chap, pm me if you fancy comparing notes!

All of the above - a bizarre and terrifying situation. He's 2 1/2 days old and already breaking hearts. Thanks for all the best wishes, guys.
