Oh my! I have just finished reading through the thread!

Thankyou all so much for your beautiful messages, we are just absolutely thrilled and her big sister adores her, even moreso since baby gave her some Lego

Firstly a HUGE thankyou to MummyTummy for doing my BA , gorgeous hun!!

We still don't have a name for our gorgeous little girl yet, we are getting to know her personality and we have a short list which is getting longer but hopefully it will take us less than a week as that is how long it took to name DD1!

We had a beautiful CS, and I can't wait to share the whole story, but will need a bit of time to write it all down, she had some difficulty with her breathing and her Paed was concerned about her developing HMD, so after a short cuddle in theatre she was taken to SCN and put in a cot on O2, and she had begun to stabilise within a few hours and we avoided a transfer. I have been very determined to BF right from the start and even though I have been "threatened" by the MW's (a bottle of F put on top of her isolette for every feed ) top ups, I have remained firm and she has been attaching very well and is a strong sucker. Her Paed said we should throw away the scales, they cause uneccessary stress and that we should just be left to develop our own relationship. But very exciting news that my milk has come in overnight and after losing almost 10% we had a 30gram gain this morning So we have avoided the NGT, IV, Bottles etc and done it all by ourselves

Thankyou all again and hopefully I will be able to return with a name soon! xxoo
