Welcome to Buliej and Diana. I am so sorry that you have had to endure the pain of losing your precious babies. I am happy though that you have found your way to this group. You have probably realised what an amazing group of women everyone here is, and I hope you find the same support that I have since I joined. It takes great courage to make the step of joining this forum, and I hope it brings some peace and comfort to you. I am also very happy to know that Anna's arrival gave you the boost you needed to join.
Thank you all so much for you congratulations and excitement. It has thrilled both DH and I that everyone cares so much. We are completely smitten with Anna. To be honest, I think I was so focused on getting to keep this baby, that I had really given much though to the fact that I would be a mother 24/7. Due to being a forceps delivery, being distressed and having the cord around her neck (I think she might be a drama queen!) - her sucking relexes were a bit delayed and the first 3 days with her in hospital were challenging. All the midwives knew her as they had all had turns at some stage trying to comfort her. I spent the whole time trying desperately to breastfeed and having the occasional cry. Thankfully my milk came in on Saturday and it has gotten better since. We came home yesterday and so far so good. She is feeding every 2-4 hours and sleeping in between. I am having a lactation consultant come by on Wed to help with attachment as my breasts are very sore! In fact it is Pinky McKay who seems to be a celebrity in the BB world. Anyway - I would happily never sleep again if it means I can have Anna all the time!
I can't wait to welcome each of your little babies into this world. I know I should leave you all alone now, but to be honest, I would miss you all too much. So I intend to keep up with you all if you don't mind.
I will come back when my brain is a bit clearer to do some personals.
