Two girls each weighing 3kg (7lb) were extracted at 8am (14th and Good Friday) today after Hippie Niece went into labour at about five weeks premature. Both are well, as is Niece. No humidity crib required. They have nice names, even though one is gender non identifying and the other a slightly hippieish name. I like the names.
Tradie Brother's dog broke the news to his neighbours.
Wonderful news.
ReplyDelete7 pounds, and over a month premature? They would have been HUGE if she had gone on any longer.
EC, she could barely walk at this point.
DeleteCongratulations to your niece and the rest of the family.
ReplyDeleteI repeat EC's comments about their size. I guess they knew it was time to say hullo to everyone.
Rozzie, they certainly did know it was time. I expect hey may have felt held back a little. Thanks.
DeleteMany congratuLatinos. Glad to hear all went well. Surprised they are so big at that stage. Hope she has lots of help.
ReplyDeleteMarie, they are part Cook Islander, but not Latino, hehe. Thanks. Yes, her Mum is terrific. All will be good.
DeleteGood news; especially as Gay uncles approve 😉
ReplyDeleteVictor, how could we not.
DeleteAndrew great news. New life has arrived for Easter. Big girls.Love from Poland
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia.
DeleteEXTRACTED Andrew?????? Really?????? Mum thought you had been to the dentist there for a while but thought 7 pound teeth was a bit too far fetched. What great news though, aye?? Tradie brother's dog did a great job on the announcement. I'm sending whippy, sloppy kisses to the little bunnies but Mum would like you to give them a cuddle from her. Could you do that?? Oh ...... and she said make sure you smell their heads. Babies heads apparently smell good to her. Go figure, aye???
ReplyDeleteCharlie, I wrote cut and extract because I can't spell the big C word, not that you will ever know anything about that. My first cuddle with them will include you. Babies do love a good dog lick. I like the milky smell of babies. Does that come out through their heads?
Delete7 pounds each?? No wonder she was nearly unable to walk. My biggest baby was a bit under 7 pounds and I thought that was quite big enough.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your niece.
River, we are pretty proud of her. Btw, I have subsequently learnt that they are in humidity cribs.
Deleteoh how exciting, and born in such a good month!!
ReplyDeleteHaha Fen, yes not a bad month.
DeleteCongratulations to all.
ReplyDeleteWow, well done to your hippie niece, so glad they are all well.
Thanks Margaret. We may see them tomorrow with Little Jo.
