Congratulations to all - gave me a very warm fuzzy feeling (though with the

heat of today could have done without the warm) How wonderful although

though her husband couldn't physically be there, he was there with her when

it mattered.

is an uncle (and I am a granny!)

Just wanted to share our good news. Hayley was born yesterday, weighing 7

pounds and 5 ounces. I got to be in the OR room during the c-section. WOW,

it was a wonderful experience to say the least.

My sister flew down and made it in time - without her, I could not have gone

into the OR. 's husband was able to call in from Iraq and be present

during Hayley's birth via speaker phone. I'm really impressed wtih this

naval hospital. has been welcomed there - even in the birthing

room. Had not needed a c- section, he could have watched Hayley

being born. Bran's doctor has a niece with Down syndrome. At one point,

got bored and wanted attention. He laid on the floor and

demostrated how to push...lol!! I'll post a picture of holding

Hayley when I get home.

My sister has been at the hospital since she arrived - she has not left

's side - which is a good thing because developed some type of

infection and is not feeling well. I would love to be with her myself, but

my sister would have a hard time with (not knowing his little

nuances like how he gets up at 4:00).

I just can't get over the staff at this hospital. Everyone has been so good

to my daughter and granddaughter. It's hard to imagine that many of them

have been to war or are getting ready to go. I'm sure being in the birthing

floor is a welcome change from being in a makeshift ER in the desert.

Congratulations to everyone especially at this wonderful time of the year!

I was an uncle three times before I was even born! I came along kind of late.

My brothers and sisters are a lot older than me and my parents were in their 40s

when I was born, the youngest of their six children by 14 years. Anyone else

ever had this experience?

Congratulations to the new Grandma here ! And the new made Uncle.. Glad

to hear he was so welcomed!

We were just informed that our daughter is pregnant. She is 18 yrs. It's

a girl ( supposedly :-) ) and she is due in Mid Feb.

This will make my youngest ( 15 months ds) an Aunt at 17 -18

months. Others are ages 9, 6, 4, & 3. We don't have actual " plans " on

having another at the moment. Not to much Infor for you.. but we use an

only natural method of Birth Spacing. So its likely and we 'expect' to

have more children. God willing we are blessed again in a year or two

or three.. LOL.. then it will also make that unborn baby an Aunt or

Uncle before he or she is born!

HA my kids will love it. They are now calling the youngest two.. baby

aunts.. LOL

EGADS.. that means I am a Granny. Hmm.. To crisis or not to crisis.. (

just kidding) . I get a kick out of calling my DH 'Gramps' now.

LOl that sounds like my sister-in-law's situation. She has a 26 year old

daughter with 2 children. Then later in life, she(SIL) adopted 3.

(uncle) is younger than , it was funny because they went to

preschool together....now the 3rd child they adopted(about 2 months ago)

just turned 1-the nephew is 5 and the niece is 4.

Our eight kids range in age from 29 to 3. We have grandchildren who are 8

7,5, and 10 months and another on the way. The older kids LOVE calling my

3 yr old " Uncle Chip " .

Our Ruthie, now 2, with DS, was born when I was 45 and my husband was 48.

She is the youngest of 6, her oldest brother is 18 years older than she is.

We don't have that big gap between the last two, though, our kids are now 19

(20 next month), 17 (18 next month), 14, 12, 6 and 2.

I have 6 children, 27, 24, 22, 6, 4, & 2. My youngest (of the first three) was

16 when I got pregnant with number four. I have a daughter (27 now), that was

pregnant with her twins when I was pregnant with my 6yr old. My 6 yr old was

born 2 months to the day before the twins were born ( & they already had a big

sister too). I also had 2 other children after that, Shayli (4 DS) and Sophie

(2)...they were born aunties!

From all the other posts...it's not that uncommon to have a big gap between some

of our kids!

My hubby is the youngest of 5 kids. His sisters are 10, 13, 16 years

older than him, and his half brother is 22 years older than him. His

mum had just 40 when she fell pregnant. She thought she was going thru

menopause!! Trents dad was in his 60's when he was born. And there is

another half sister after Trent!! So his dad was very ........prolific

I am the oldest of 2, and my parents were quiet young. when I was born

Aussie Leis- mum to 9 , Natasha 4.5 and 3!!!

You have to think anyway, so why not think BIG?

,

My milk came in very late with my first baby. He wasn't nursing strongly

enough to stimulate my milk supply. From what I was told babies usually catch on

as they get a bit stronger. Even with the help of several lactation

specialists my son never did get it so I pumped for six months.

If is in pain and has an infection those are stressors on her body

that may also be interfering.

If they gave her an electric (hosp. grade) pump then it doesn't matter if

she gets much the first few days. The point is to keep it up to stimulate the

body to produce milk.

On the subject of , I know it must be frustrating for you not to be

able to be with more. Could you start looking for an agency around there

that may be able to provide someone to do respite with ? Even if not

for this trip then for future trips. I know that wasn't something I could do

for but just might work for someone else.

Good luck and Congratulations,
