Home again!

[oloriel]

Am alive, 31, and recuperating.
In-depth birth report will probably follow. Sometime. And pictures. (Not of the birth, just of the baby!)

For now, please give a warm welcome to Julian Moritz! Born April 28, 2:52 pm (yes, we were fast this time!), measuring 52 cm and weighing 2960 grams. SO TINY. Currently looks like a very fair-haired version of his big brother at that age, pointy ears included (though I had forgotten that Felix ever was this tiny.). Also slightly yellow, but nothing out of the ordinary. Somewhat more sweet-tempered (unless you change his nappies!), but I'm sure that's going to change when he grows older and more energetic ;)

Also, thank you for the kind wishes and sweet messages both on the occasion of Julian's birth and my own birthday. I'll hopefully manage (despite "nursing dementia" ;)) to respond to you all individually, but for now feel collectively hugged and thanked!
Massive hugs and love go especially to sermanya and flower_star for the parcels that were waiting for me today when I got home! Wow. Looking forward to trying out the tea (whatever doesn't hurt during pregnancy is also great when nursing!), looking into the book and having the chocolate stolen by Felix eating the Mozarttaler. I also used up the rest of my wildflower seeds this spring, so the new ones come in handy! And the kids are going to love watching the soap bubbles. (I'm not letting Felix have his own yet because that'd give no bubbles, though he'd have very clean hands for a short while at least! ;))
flower_star, your quilt is gorgeous and has been admired by everyone who's clapped eyes on it so far. How did you know that our "nursery" is predominantly yellow and blue? Also, HOW DID I DESERVE IT, I haven't even sent you a tiny thing for that creativity meme. >______> Seriously, my mind is blown!
In conclusion, thank you so much! <3333

Welcome to this world, Julian! I wish you a wonderful life full of love and wonders, and please, let your parents sleep at night asap.

Much love to all of you! :-D

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Und Willkommen Julian :D

[flower-star.livejournal.com]

Yay, welcome, Julian!

And I'm glad the package made it and you're loving the quilt! The colours were pure luck, I just love yellow lately and wasn't in the mood for typical boy colours ^^. And you deserve it by being a nice person and giving me an excuse a reason to do a quilt!

Welcome to the world outside, Julian! :) Und happy, happy birthday to you - both of you, I suppose! :D ♥

[elfscribe5.livejournal.com]

Oh congratulations on the new baby boy! Fantastic, and what a great birthday present for you. Best wishes to you both!

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

Belated happy birthday to you, and more importantly, a very happy birthday to Julian!

And wow, that was extra-fast indeed! Less than five hours -must have been a relief. :)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

It was a serious relief when it really was over that fast. When, on the other hand, the unpleasant but bearable contractions turned into fast, brutal, 12-out-of-10 contractions that tore my cervix from "four centimeters dilated" to "eight centimeters dilated" within five minutes, thus making the anaesthetics team we'd just called for my epidural turn on their heels ("Seems we're not needed anymore!")... I wasn't relieved at all! ;)

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

Okay, I do see your point there. I hope you've now recovered from that ordeal.

*winces and crosses legs in sympathy*

Lieber Julian Moritz,
die Welt ist ein toller Ort.
Mach sie dir zueigen!
Das Leben ist ein Abenteuer.
Pack es mit beiden Händen,
Und halt es mit Herz und Kopf fest.
Willkommen!

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! So happy you and Julian are both safe and well! Congrats to all of you and, especially, to Felix on his new status as elder son and big brother!

Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Julian!

[sermanya.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved to read that everythings's over and better than last time and that you seem to be doing fine.
Bubbles were never ment for the kids. This is serious stuff!

And of course:
Welcome to this world, Julian Moritz!
:)

Happiest of Birfdays! From Cowboy R's mom. Glad you are recuperating from the birth, and happy birfday to Julian, too! That does seem tiny, but healthy is good and he will grow like a weed!
