You weren’t kidding about the adorable. Congratulations on such a cute Little Raspberry. And may your recovery be swift and uneventful. ---

Congrats!! She’s gorgeous, and I love the name Bridget! I had a C-section 18 months ago, and I know how your belly must be feeling right about now. Be sure to take it easy and keep up with the pain meds. I made the mistake of thinking I could hold off on filling the Rx for my oxycodone after I got home from the hospital, and 3 hours later I was begging my husband to go fill the script. Stay on the meds as long as they are prescribed, you’ll be thankful for them. Also did you use a pregnancy pillow like the Snoogle? I found that wrapping my pillow around my belly while I sat in bed, like the “swirl around” pictured [here](http://www.leachco.com/snoogle/snooglepositions.html) was amazingly helpful in supporting my abs. It helped to keep using pillows under my belly in bed when I rested on my side as well. Take good care of yourself and rest up as much as you can, let your wound heal and don’t try to do too much too soon. ---

Congrats! Bridget sure is adorably cute. The adventure begins… Also, oxyclean plus stain treatment gets out spit-up stains. ---

What a cutie girl ! If she is that easy and happy now, that probably is her character and you’re in luck! Have you already checked out the [www.babycenter.com](http://www.babycenter.com) free weekly email newsletter, now that you won’t have time to read parenting books anymore? ---

Bridget really is a great name - not too unusual, not too common, not too P’rehCio-us. ---

Yay! What a cute little baby girl!!! > [@pbbth](#): > > The needles were the worst part. The nurse screwed up my IV and I bled everywhere all over the room, it took 4 tries to numb me with the spinal, and then they had to give me another injection and take blood over the rest of my stay. I did get through it all but not without panicking. Loud, screaming, crying panicking. This scares me. I’m 32 weeks and just starting to remember that having a baby actually hurts!! ---

> [@FrancisCastle](#): > > Yay! What a cute little baby girl!!! > > This scares me. I’m 32 weeks and just starting to remember that having a baby actually hurts!! I’m not going to lie. It was a horrifying experience and it really cemented my decision to have my tubes tied because I’m not doing it again. That being said, it was all worth it. I have the greatest baby in the whole world sleeping next to me and I don’t regret a moment of it. > [@Greg\_Charles](#): > > Congratulations! But, really? You gave her a real name, without feeling the need to convert all vowels and some consonants to Ys? Wow, this reinforces my general impression that you are awesome. Way to go! 🙂 I wouldn’t be surprised if she were the only girl in her class that doesn’t have a Y in her name when she starts school. ---

Congratulations to all three of you! What a beautiful little gal. Enjoy the tiny phase as much as possible, because they _really do_ grow up fast. (Toddlers are great too, of course, but…for these first few precious months, you can always count on her to be right where you last left her. :p) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/babys-here/603538.md?page=3)
