Emsbet, congratulations on possible team blue!

And now my announcement. Will try to post the long story separately in case it disappears again.

So, Emilio and Maya were born today (32+6) at 9.35 and 9.55am. I had epidural in case things went pear shaped anxious both of them needed help with forceps. Emilio wad born 1980g and 45cm long and Maya slightly lighter as is suited fir the girl at 1860g, but taller at 47cm. They are doing well and breathing with just a bit of help using pressurized air, CPAP. No cuddles as yet, but if all goes well, maybe tomorrow we will be allowed to hold them.

I am ok, just had the 'wonderful' hospital meal and OH was asked to get me pate from Booths. I had episiotomy/2nd degree test, apparently, so have a few stitches.

How are you BB?

Just got home, felt like I was at the hospital FOREVER!

Confirmed Bell's Palsy, but they don't want to give me the steroids due to being pregnant. However they said that in 70%+ of cases it disappears of its own accord after a few weeks - fingers crossed! Have got some eye drops and an eye patch in the meantime...sexy! I'm just relieved that it's nothing that could affect the baby - I don't care what happens to me! (within reason, LOL!)

Also saw the consultant re measuring large for dates and possible gestational diabetes. Had another scan, and baby is perfectly fine, and normal, although measuring on the 90th centile! :eek: I think I may have to re-think my drug-free birth plan....! Annoyingly baby has also turned back to being breech again, so have to go back at 36 weeks for yet another scan.

So all in all, good outcomes today - no diabetes, and nothing wrong with baby. Slightly scared about the size but there's nothing I can do about it and what will be will be.

Thanks again so much for all the support and kind messages, much appreciated

Congrats Gin! Glad all is ok BB! Glad the scan went well emsbet.

Got our moses basket and stand today. And some bedding, the blankets are so soft, I want one for me!

Now looking at monitors - does anyone have the BT monitor and pacifier? Looks good!
