Baby time!!!!

Postby Kawaiicaps » 27 Jan 2008, 09:41

While my due date isn't until Feb 10th I guess she couldn't wait to get out.
On Sunday Jan 20th my water broke and so Francis and I went to the hospital. I wasn't quite in labour yet but it was unsafe for me to carry on with no water for the baby to swim in so the doctor decided to induce labour. We started at 11pm on the 20th and weren't finished until 11:13 on Monday the 21st.

Baby Loralai Angelle Holmes was born 5lbs 10oz a full 2 weeks early. She was not premature but she is what they call a preterm baby. That's basically as early as you can get without it being unsafe. We had to stay in the hospital until the 25th of Jan (the next Friday) and we are so happy to be home!!!

Yay! Everyone happy and healthy, I hope! :)

One thing to remember - keep this 'preterm' thing in mind as you watch her grow up; is she going to turn out to be a 'hurry-hurry' impatient type of person who likes to be early for other things, too?

Warning: peanut butter not suitable for babies.

She is awfully adorable, though. So many babies look like a dyspeptic W.C. Fields but are nevertheless cute. She's cute without the squishiness.

Yeah...I can see that; I've always thought of virtually every baby looking like a tired and usually grumpy Winston Churchill. :)

Just yesterday I was helping my godfather (yeah, yeah) receive and 'organize' some digital pictures of his new grandson, and scanned in a shot of his own son (the newborn's dad) when he was a baby; the resemblance is scary - same hair tufting up in the middle, same tired "I wanna go back" squint, same slight puffiness of the cheeks, etc. etc.

But both cute beyond words...but neither coming close to Loralai; praise unto you for bettering the gene pool! :D

This is a fallacy.
It's believed that parents making their children avoid peanut butter when they're young is one of the reasons that so many kids are allergic nowadays.

Congratulations! Such a cute little baby. But five pounds! So small! Adorable!

(Is it creepy that for about five seconds, the only word I could think of to describe it was "delicious?" Man, I need to get something to eat...)

Peanut butter is only dangerous if you have a family history of allergic reactions, the baby could have one too, and that's really dangerous. (The risk for having allergic reactions is genetic, but the type of food that causes the reaction isn't?)

Some people say the reason peanut allergies are increasing is because we're exposed to peanuts too much. Ever notice how many food stuffs say "may have been processed on machines that process peanuts" on them? You have to weigh the benefits against the risks.

Honey is way more dangerous than peanut butter, though. Botulism! :O But I'm sure she knows that. Don't parents have to take some kind of class?

I always refer to very young babies as 'fresh'. I got it from my mum, who says it too. Apparently this is a creepy thing to say. But it's true! They're very fresh!

I am pretty sure warnings like that are because of all the allergy craze, not the cause of it. Very few of those machines actually process peanut products - most of them are just in the same factories. The chances of the machines having actually come in contact with peanuts is very slim. Slim enough that a friend of mine who was extremely (read: deathly) allergic to peanuts would willingly eat things that said "may have come in contact with peanuts" because those are really only there for the people who are so incredibly allergic that the tiniest bit of nuts kill them - or for crazy parents.

Totally worth it!!! While going through it I thought "never again, never again" but then after I had her in my arms for a little bit I thought "I would go through anything for this little baby"
