I sent Ali a message to see how she's feeling today, here is her response:

Really good. Yet to see physio to see how much movement I have but don't look like I had a baby yesterday!

congrats Ali

looking forward to seeing what little Leah looks like, and am hoping that your physio recovery starts soon, so you can start getting better yourself.

thanks Dani for posting the BA and your updates

wonderful news!

I think they were meant to be coming home either today or tomorrow. Leah was being discharged from SCN today, she was in because she was having withdrawals from codine from the pain killers Ali was on. I haven't spoken to Ali today though.

**AnyDream** · June 18th, 2009, 09:51 PM

Oh Ali I don't know how I missed this (well I do actually, it's treatment) BUT I'm so thrilled for you and DH and the girls on the safe arrival of little Leah! Congratulations!! You know how deeply and sincerely I say this when I wish you a prompt recovery. Enjoy these precious early days xxx

Thanks Girls!!!

She is very tiny!! In 00000 even with her big fluffy butt!!

I am recovering better than anyone expected. Still taking it easy but not using the frame or a chair any more, just building my leg strength and balance back up, and being guided by pain levels. I will post my birth story soon, but her position is likely to be what aggravated my pelvis so much. She is absolutely gorgeous, feeding well and not a spiller

. I have more than enough milk for the whole hospital, and just expressing for comfort has given me a huge freezer stock. I am able to go longer between pumpings now though!!
