Quote by JamesLlewellynFolks, listen up! I have an important announcement!
Curious Annie has just had a baby boy! That's one reason she has been missing from LushLand for so long: she's been pregnant and busy with more important things.
So, in honour (note the spelling, Jake) of Annie and son, I'm giving everyone a Dixie cup of champers, on the house. And if you want more, then the usual Rumps' Special applies - One drink for the price of two! Such a deal!
Thanks, James, for letting everyone know and I am sure you will all understand if I seem to just flit in and out of Lush. And apologies in advance for the stories I am struggling to find the time to read, I’ve being saying for the last fortnight, must start with reading Susie, Jake, Tam and Curvy’s latest and I haven’t managed them or any others.
While pregnancy has ended 😇 it wasn’t quite the way I expected. An emergency Caesarean, earlier in the week. He got stuck, which given he emerged at over 4 kilos may not be altogether surprising I suppose. Home from hospital this weekend, and all is good with baby, though mamma is sore and very tired; though in more positive news the birth and blood transfusion gave me an idea for a horror story 😊
Let me shout you all another drink to toast the new-born. Real champagne too. I was expecting that after 9 months off the booze, I would join you, but pain medications have put paid to that. Happy to PM with anyone about my little one, but I won’t be posting much in the forum on baby matters. I hear that sigh of relief.
There are a handful of friends here who have my eternal gratitude for their support, particularly during the first trimester, my experience from hell. Susie especially has been telling me since February that I will forget the bad parts and that it is so worth it. And she is totally right, though I am still not yet convinced I know why second children exist.
