Shelby baby update?

[thom]

Has anyone heard if her baby arrived safe and healthy? I'm not trying to nose for details, but it's been awhile since her last update and I hope all is ok. I'm just anxious for her I suppose.

Thinking of you & sending my prayers and good wishes shelbyann!

Her last update on GP was awhile ago; She had been in labor for 40hrs.... Nothing since then. Hope all is well for shelbyann & baby shelby.

Holy crap! 40 hours!? Hope theres been some progress! Good luck shelbyann !

[Brit]

I was thinking about her also. I hope things are going well.

[blndsnbrdr]

holy crap.

marathons will be easy peasy after this!

[Deleted]

I've been thinking about her too.

[rfs13]

OMG 40 hrs??? I hope she and baby are doing okay!

[runblondie26]

I keep checking back too. Hope you and the baby are resting comfortably

[clseale]

I always get anxious waiting for these updates. I'm sure it's just because she's busy snuggling that beautiful little girl, and (rightly so), we are the furthest thing from her mind. I just hope she finally got a break, and things went well.

Thinking of you, shelbyann! We can't wait to "meet" her when you are ready to share her with the world.

[shelbyann]

Aw, thanks for thinking of me! I haven't been online until this morning but it means a lot to me.

I just posted a really long birth story (and pics!) on GP: pandce.proboards.com/thread/293892/checking-loooooong-birth-story

TL;DR version - 50+ hour labor, scary delivery, baby born blue and not breathing but going to be fine, still in NICU but hoping to bring her home this afternoon. Hardest thing I have ever done hands down, marathons are not even close.

Oh my, how scary. I am so happy for you! Congrats

(We were in the NICU for a few days if you want to chat or need support!)

[breezy8407]

Okay I just read the story and got all teared up. She is beautiful!

I'm sorry you haven't had the BF'ing support you needed. The NICU nurses were way more helpful for me than the LC I saw.

[Susie]

She has such pretty rosy cheeks! Congrats and way to hang in there. Best wishes for this week.

[runaways]

Holy cow, what an experience! Congratulations! She's beautiful.

[clseale]

OK, I totally just teared up reading that. I am so sorry you had such a scary experience (that's where the tears started, even though I knew she was OK! lol), but I am so glad that she is here safe & sound. She is gorgeous. Seriously, you would never know she had such a tough entry into this world, she is a peaceful, beautiful, little bundle of perfection. Congrats!

ETA: I love her name, especially her mn. It was my mom's mom's name, and DH knows I want to use it as a mn, if & when we have a girl. 

[cinco]

She's beautiful and I love the name!
Congrats!

[kams]

She is perfection! So glad to hear that she is here. Congratulations!

[runblondie26]

(high5)  She is perfection. Congratulations!

Congrats shelbyann, she is beautiful and I'm glad you and her are doing well despite a difficult l&d.

[MrsE]

Wow what an incredible (and scary!) story! I'm glad you are feeling OK and that your beautiful little girl is doing well. Congratulations!

[sadlebred]

She soooo cute! Congratulations!

[sassystace]

Congrats!! She is gorgeous! Such a scary moment when she was born, your birth story had me in tears.

Hang in there with the breastfeeding (and the hormones)--it is not easy. Newborns can really take a while to 'get' how to breastfeed and it takes a lot of effort for them to suck hard enough at first. Keep trying to get help from a LC, eventually things will click for you two.

[jamalynn]

Aw, she is gorgeous. Congratulations! You are a trooper!

[enfuego23]

Congrats! So sorry to hear about your rough delivery - glad everything worked out and you have an awesomely cute litte girl:)

[rfs13]

Congrats shelbyann and welcome to the world Annika! She is perfect and I'm so glad that you are both okay.

[emuni04]

Congratulations! She is perfect! Sorry to hear about your rough delivery.

[Brit]

Congrats! I'm glad everything turned out ok.

Hang in there with the BFing. I had the same situation at first with DD wanting a bottle of pumped milk (and with her being in the NICU when she was born). DD figured out how to latch/suck eventually, just give it some time.

[thom]

Ok.., I'm off to read the story. So happy & relieved all is ok shelbyann. Congratulations!! You are a rock star.

[hannahb]

How scary! I'm glad everyone's doing well now and I must say she is adorable!

[Deleted]

She's gorgeous! Congrats! Hope she gets to go home today!
