OT: new arrival!

[Myra Vaninwegen]

Hello evryone!

I am now a proud mother of a little baby girl, Ellen Rose. You can see pictures of her here:

http://simon.trinhall.cam.ac.uk/swmpics/2003/baby/

Her health is perfect, and her little leggies are already gaining in strength, and she occasionally
shows them off by kicking around vigorously. She will make a fine cyclist!

Everything is going swimmingly with me, other than the fact that I'm exceedingly tired. It's a
combination of recovering from the operation (I had her by Cesarean section because she was a breech
baby), getting less sleep at night, and breastfeeding, which requires alot of energy even
considering it only as a chemical process of manufacturing milk!

However Simon is home with me, taking very good care of us both. I simply could not have survived
without him!

-Myra

Congratulations, Myra and Simon. I'm always amazed by how small infants' fingers and toes are.

By my calculation you have about 15 years of relative peace and quiet until the troubles start ;-)

Hello Ellen, welcome to uk.rec.cycling.

Congratulations to both of you. I'm told the secret for the sleepless nights is to murmur "it's your
turn" without actually waking up.

That and other things. Being a bloke, I cannot speak from experience about wimminz hormones, but I
have been a teenager myself, and I know how I (mis)behaved at that age. Thank goodness I wasn't my
own mother. Poor woman.

Congratulations, she's lovely. I see you got the picture of baby holding Mummy's finger, that's nice
for size comparisons later.

(Oh, and wifey says that's a nice blanket, meaning the one on the
17/03/03 page).

Wossat then? ;-)

It does get better (for Daddy at least, Daddy learns to sleep through the screams much more easily
than Mummy does).

If you're too tired, perhaps Simon'll have to take her cycling instead.

Congrats!

Eat chocolate !!

A while after Elinor was born Helen started a bit of mild dieting. Elinor's weight gain started to
slow down. We (us and the HV) decided that there was not enough fat/energy in the BM. The HV
suggested eating chocolate.

The HV was always welcome in our house.........

Congratulations, too. I think, though, that 15 years is a little on the optimistic side! Although,
15 might just be the low point, my eldest is a girl of 12 and is sinking, nay plummeting, into the
depths of teenage puberty... And to think she bought a tear to my eye when she was born!!

Still, 'tis just the sins of the father visited upon him by the daughter ;-)

She looks LOVELY and very alert. Congratulations to you all.

Maybe only 350Kcal per day now but likely to double. I rather liked the chocolate suggestion from
the Health Visitor in Leeds!

Hurrah for that man. He seems rather fond of the little lady...

Never fear -- she'll come out of it by the time she's thirty.
