Congratulations Lisa & Daniel!
Remember my friend Lisa, mom of 1 + 1 on the way? Well, she's now a proud mom of 2, which is some going considering the first one is just 18 months old! OMG!!
Little Alex was born last week at Birmingham Womens by emergency c-section, three and a half weeks early.
This next comment may be a bit shocking, but I think that most new born babies are ugly little spuds, my own included.. but little Alex was gorgeous, and perhaps his most endearing feature was his little 'breech legs'! Lisa pulled the blanket back to reveal his legs were set at a perfect triangle to his hips, with his feet immediately in line with his bum!
Lots of women would pay money to be able to get into that position in yoga!
I just can't imagine how anyone could birth a baby in that position, it's bad enough when they're pointing the right way; at least they're a tiny bit aerodynamic, and even then they don't exactly come out at the speed of formula one cars.
When I went to see him I had no problems getting into the ward, just asked the nurse and was taken straight to mom and baby. Very refreshing, especially after my last experience of visiting a new baby in the hospital.
Even though he was nearly a month early little Alex was still just shy of 8lbs, can you imagine what he'd have been like if he'd gone to term? They'd have needed to hook a block and tackle to the ceiling, or winch him out with a crane.
Anyway, good on ya Lisa. As mom of a toddler already you'll know you've got to enjoy every second of him while he's still tiny, really hope you make the most of every second.
