…but he is not on is way.
He is here!
After trying for several years the “natural way”, last fall I underwent IVF treatment in the pursuit of our second child. In November we finally succeeded and this summer, august 2nd our little boy arrived.
I know people usually share news like this a lot sooner. I had several reasons for holding back. One of them was worrying if everything would turn out well. Perhaps because it took us a long time to become pregnant I had more “what if everything doesn’t work out” thoughts during this pregnancy.
For each milestone (week 12 when risk of abortion is reduced, and then later on week 25 when the survival rate for premature babies increases) I have thought "now is the time to share", but then changed my mind
- just in case.
Well no more just in case. He is here!
He came five days prior to due date. What started and almost finished like a normal birth (v- birth) ended up in a dramatic C-section. I prefer v-birth a hundred time over c-section, but due to the circumstances I am happy the doctors made the decision they made. We spent six days at the paediatric intensive care before they let us bring our little bundle home. I have enjoyed every single day after that.
…do you think one can kiss and hug a baby too much?
Oh my god- look that face. He's beautiful! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and kisses!

Oh my gosh! He is totally and utterly adorable! Congratulations to you and your perfect little family!! I am so pleased for you. can't wait to see more pictures (and knitting) as he grows!
ReplyDeleteAnd no - I am not sewing the ends in of the stripes as I go along - not clever enough! But now you've put the thought in my mind I might just go and do it - I've only knitted 4 stripes so far!
Smiles from Scotland!!
Tillykke med ham. Hvor er han bare utrolig sød :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful baby boy! congratulations so much. I completely understand that you wished to hold back. I've going back and forth about it too, because I am expecting our third child now, but I decided to share it on the blog about halfway through the pregnancy. I am, however, reluctant to focus too much on it on the blog, also I don't post many belly pics, like some do.
ReplyDeletewhen I saw the photos of your little boy, it made me well up and feel so grateful to have this in store in the very near future. can't wait! (we are having our first boy, too!)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a beautiful baby. I understand your feelings waiting to tell, I was very anxious and a bit superstitious during my pregnancies and it felt a little strange to write about them on my blog. But I am so glad he is here safe and well, and I am enjoying reading your posts again.
