Her name

24 hours ago I was NOT happy. But now we are. Rob & Astrid Léan Leamy are asleep in the bed beside me. I have paracetamol & tea. Civilised!

I'm happy to hear all went well.

I'm really very delighted with all these reports about how the birth went, and about Astrid and you doing so well. I expect Rob is pretty happy too. It brought back memories of my sister's home birth and, although my mum screamed rather a lot, we knew what was going on, expected it and were very, very happy to have my mum at home and to see the new baby. The baby's father was a source of much amusement to us, as he flew about the flat in an utter panic, scared stiff but unable to do anything useful. We stayed quietly out of the way and held hands throughout.

I doubt somehow the novelty of New Person has worn off at all. I hope you're getting enough sleep and not having to use your arms for anything.

Many congratulations and much happiness! (Having missed the earlier posts because I was offline this weekend.)

Lovely!
Astrid's a favourite name of mine, having once met a very strong, wonderful at-the-time girl with that name!

I thought of Pippi, too!

Welcome little Astrid! May your life be a happy one full of smiles and love with enough of everything you need and a goodly portion of all you desire to go with it.

Beautiful name!!! :D

[the0lady.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I missed all the excitement! But what swell news to come back to after a weekend off-grid. Hope labour was not cupcake-induced, fantastic and inspiring name (Astrid is nice, too) and oodleplexes of love to the entire civilised lot of yez. *hugshugshugs*

PS Studepndous, in fact. The words I was looking for were "stupendous news". xx

[the0lady.livejournal.com]

PPS And when I say stupendous news, I in fact mean IN PARTICULAR the bit about the mother (and baby) doing genuinely well.
