    HI Beckoes, ShootingStar & sconeonamission

    Congratulations to you all on your new additions. How exciting!!!

    SS: My boys were at 37weeks and 1 day. I still hadn't gone into labour so my OB decided to put me in for a C-Sect, plus the boys were both still in the breech position.

    Sconeonamission: Hope you get to go home today. All the best.

    Beckoes: That was a bit of a wait for you. Expecting to go on the 1st but having to wait to the 15th.

    They must be all busy mummies Beck

    Hope.. oh good on you making it that far with twins. How are you going with them? My friend had twins the same time i had DD1 and i praise you! i sometimes find it hard enough with just one newborn.

    Had a little bit of a rough night with Lexie.. but she seems to be all good today.. typical. Hope it was just a one off.. this colic can be a killer for mummies!

    Hey ladies,

    Sorry I've been AWOL. My internet has been playing up at home and I'm just posting quickly from the library today. Have been so busy between feeding and on a 3 hour express cycle. Working with a lactation consultant from the hospital to see if I can get Ethan to attach. Very nervous about DP going back to work next week and how I will manage everything.

    I know I have so much to catch up from the Belly Buddies thread. I hope you are all doing well.

    Hey Beckoes,

    I joined in on the chatter in the later March group as there wasn't much happening here. Hope you are doing well.
