    Hi ladies, nice to see you both

    Tarkine I don't think I said congrats to you hun!!! Congrats!

    I'm going to see if there are any new birth stories I can read... should put mine up one of these days!

    How are your bubbas going girls? Are you both feeling as dazed as I am?

    Isabel is a week old today. It has flown past...

    I'm here too now Juliette Nicola born 19th Feb

    She is just such a chilled little girl - feeding well and sleeping well. Genevieve is besotted ( I hope it stays that way!!)

    OP - Alex is chilled like Juliette - just wants to have some food and sleep (thankfully) at the moment. Just trying to swing my routine in around Alex - so i can get enough sleep. I just don't function on 2hrs of sleep a night otherwise

    I think Juliette had some wind and tummy pains last night as she was very unsettled and feeding just about every 2 hours! I got one lot of 3 hours sleep in and then it was just naps. She seems to be sleeping well during the day though!!

    I had a visit from the MHCN yesterday and she checked everything out and was happy with how everything was going. Juliette had lost more than 10% of her body weight in hospital but had gained 94g at the last day weigh in so was only 7% down by the time we left. She gained another 74g in the 24 hours since leaving hospital so she is on the right track. However I'm noy sure how she is doing this as everything I put in one end seems to be coming straight out the other

    good weight gains nai!!!

    i'm still waking millie for feeds over night due to the jaundice, hopeing after todays MCHN visit i'll be able to stop that. she only lost 5% in hospital and was weighed again by the doms. midwife on sunday and was only 30g off birth weight which is a surprise considering the jaundice and my blood loss!! i have soooooo much milk its not funny it drips out!!

    Nai and AJP - glad to hear that bubs are putting on the grams!

    Alex just had his checkup and he's put on 40g since birth. Not sure how much he lost in hospital etc, but he seems to be making up for it.
