Hi everyone,

soooo excited to have a computer back at home so I can catch up with everything! Just had it all hooked up so here I am.

Hope you don't mind if I post in here with you guys - all my belly buddies are in here and I don't want to miss out just because Mimi decided to be 10 days late!!!

Kristie - sorry that you had a rough night, hope that things have picked up for you.

Deb - hi! sounds like the weight gain is going really well, as is your sleeping. congratulations.

Mimi is doing really well. A week and 4 days today. She was measured on Monday and had put on 180 grams in the first week since discharge so that's ok. It's weird getting used to the feeding habits of the second one - Ella was such a guts, she would feed whenever and wherever I put her on, whereas Madam Mimi is very much - nup, don't want it now, get it away from me.....she is very efficient though - 10 mins a side and she's done, which is helpful when it's the middle of the night feed. She is doing 3.5-4 hourly with a similar long stretch to Matty by the sounds of things - but it depends when this is. last night it was from 8.30 til 1.30 so that was heaven. unfortunately it meant she was up again at 5.30 which was hell!

Re DTD - LOL at you girls. My repairs are such that I am not expecting to be right for quite some time. The forceps used to turn her were enormous and an episiotomy and tearing later, DTD is the LAST thing from my mind, and I am pretty sure DH knows better than to tap me on the shoulder for at least 6 weeks!!!

Will spend some time later catching up on past posts and getting to know those I don't know yet.

One question though - will hunt the threads but JenSam was the only one I missed the news on = birth details anyone???

Have a great day all and will check in later

Gigi xx

ps - it's good to be back.
