Oh wow congrats and love the name.
(were you spying on the poll lol)
good job on the labour, you sure got a
pretty little girl out of it.
And has to be said "cheeks" lol
time and patience with the breast feeding,
time and patience. It's a big job for you
both to learn, especially when neither of
you has done it before.

Welcome "little" Rowan!!!!

Wow, look at her- she's fabulous.
She's a big girl, i've never seen a
newborn so kinda plump and smooth looking,
and such a nice skin-tone, most of them
(including mine, nobody get offended) look
a bit like strange boiled little
creatures. I can't believe she's happy to
lie all sprawled out and unwrapped like
that.
And her hair!!! She's awesome.
Does she have an extra nipple there, or is
that just some kinda shadow or smudge or
something?
And well done you. Congratulations.
Don't feel bad about the breastfeeding,
it's hard to learn- for both of you.
Well done for sticking with it, it's so
.H.A.R.D watching your baby scream and be
upset, and feeling helpless, and thinking
they are hungry.
Somehow, I think loving them so much makes
it harder- you just .L.O.V.E them soo soo
much, and they're so vulnerable.
It just breaks your heart doesn't it.
She's probably just finding the outside
worls strange and confusing, she feels a
bit 'wrong" somehow, and doesn't know what
to do about it.
She'll settle.
You'll be a fantastic mother.

Congrats tanya! She is beautiful. I know
the first few weeks-actually months are
very exhausting. Hang in there. It
becomes so much more rewarding when they
start to give a little back.

She's adorable tanya! I love the name,
it's pretty, and suits her. I'm sorry
you're having a hard time, but like
everyone else said, you'll be awesome.
It's so funny that most of the recent
babies have had lots of hair, hers a cute
color ^_^.
Congrats!!!

Holy caca .Tanya, I thought that picture
of your mother was of you 
i'm so glad you're ok. I was so
worried!
She's absolutely gorgeous! And she does
look huge  . I just wanna
reach through the screen and hold her!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
I know what you are going through trying
to breastfeed. I had a horrible time as
well. I kept at it(as stressful as it
was), and it got better. I really hope it
gets easier for you and .Rowan awwwwww!!!
I love her name!
Support is always here for you!
I can't wait to see more pictures of your
beautiful bundle

Wow! Her hair is really light. My son
was born with extremely dark hair and it
turned blond. Your baby is so beautiful.
El: you're right, most babies do look like
"strange boiled creatures!" ha ha. Tanya,
yours does not.

she barely opens her eyes! Sometimes
she opens one a little bit and peaks at me
with one eye, it's so funny. I really
see erik in her but people have been
telling me she looks like me. Both my
parents thinks she looks a lot like my
sister when she was born. And the last
picture is also my favourite bridget!
Out of all the pictures from the
hospital.

of course... But it was really more
important for me to do the right thing
than do what made me happy. I still
feel sad that she should have a proper
family and I can't give her that.

yes she'll sleep completely naked, she
doesn't care about that, and I think
that's why she fall asleep so easy at the
boob. I always get her in her diaper so
she'll be a bit uncomfy and stay awake but
it doesn't work at all. She also just
smushes up her face when I wet it with a
wet cloth but doesn't wake up or move!
She's funny.
And no she does not have a third nipple!
haha

oh geez yes. It even hurts when I

i wouldn't say it was "easy" but I mean, I
didn't have time to think really and I
seriously forgot almost directly after it.
Like if someone said "describe what
labour feels like" I really wouldn't be
able to... But seriously i'ld rather
redo my whole labour than this
breastfeeding hell. She really doesn't
look that new bornish to me, like not all
floppy and stuff. I like it because i'm
not scared to bring her into the bed and
handle her and such. Cause she's always
on my boob she's always in my arms ( she's
been down on her own for less than an hour
since she's been home), and if she was
really tiny it would be a lot scarier for
me.

no, I couldn't think really, it just felt
so sureal, like it was happening to
someone else. I watch a baby story and
always imagine those woman feeling so many
emotions when they see their babies, but
really it was just a shock, too much at
once to really think and feel. I know
that they only put her on me for a second,
and I asked why she wasn't crying and they
took her away right away and then when I
was looking through the pictures my family
took she had an oxygen mask put on her
face and stuff. I had no idea at the
time but I remember I kept asking why she
wasn't crying and being terrified
something was wrong! I cried when I
watched her sleeping, mostly because I
thought about how in my pregnancy I wished
I was the type of person who could take
the easy way out without hating myself,
and looking at her and thinking that even
for a minute I had wanted an abortion made
me bawl and feel really sick. I
couldn't imagine her dead, and I can't
imagine feeling like that, watching her I
just felt so horrible because she's so
perfect I couldn't believe I felt like
that.

oh my gosh kania is so nuts during labour!
She gets so serious and mean, and she's
really mean to the nurses, did you
realize? The nurses there are sooo
great though. Lacey said she went and
saw your little boy and that he's
beautiful and made her want more babies!
And thank you everyone for your lovely
comments! Today, even though she's had
two cluster type feedings, each for about
6 hours, it's soooo much better. I
don't mind at all, I can just go on the
computer or watch tv or my favourite, eat,
and do it. What makes it really better
is that she isn't getting upset like she
was in the hospital. I really think
that in the hospital I was extra stressed
and all those people around and the noise
made things worse, and that she sensed
that stress and fed off it, because she's
seriously so much calmer today and so am
i!
One more for you!
