I really should know better than to surf the cellar while eating lunch! Thanks for that, Ali!

Lovely placenta you've got there.

I think the slimy, just out shot is absolutely adorable. What a sweetie!

Sorry Zen...you're welcome though. ;)

Wolf, I got into trouble for bathing him. Apparently the trend now is to leave all the afterbirth on the baby for 24 hours. Helps with immunity apparently.

I hadn't thought too much about my placenta being nice. Mav said it was yuck when he saw the pic. He said the same thing about the black poo. :D

Woo Hoo!!! Congrats!!! Pics! Pics! Pics!!!

Congratulations to all of you!

Great News! Congrats woman. :D

wonderful baby boy. Congratulations! and take it easy!

Fascinating, I had never heard anything like that. Now I'm off to google...

Go, we're tiny when we come out. Congratulations.

Thats just eww

We got flowers from the Cellar!

They're really lovely, and completely unexpected. Being into day 4 now I've become quite emotional and let me tell you, when I got home yesterday and they were here I just started blubbering. It means so much to me that you would care enough to think of doing something that sweet. Thankyou to whoever it was who had the idea. I have my suspicions, but I guess if I were meant to know there'd have been a hint. Oh, and nice work with the whale penis reference. :D

Thankyou all for your well wishes. We're all doing well. I had over 6 hours sleep last night, and almost 8 the night before. He's feeding well and seems quite contended most of the time. I did wake this morning with an aching back, uterus and breasts though. So far so good with breast feeding. Hopefully by tomorrow my milk will be more or less in. Maybe I'll have more luck this time around. Here's hoping.

And here's a snap I took of Max last night. :)
