Hey Ruf, lol things are looking a little lonely in here! Cooper arrived on Monday 9th (day before induction!)

How's motherhood treating you? I'm actually finding it a little easier than i thought, although haven't done any housework at all yet! I'm dreading DP going back to work on monday.

Hiya girls. Well, Alyssa arrived on the 4th June, coming into the world seeing where she was going (she was posterior so came out face first!). Had a huge swelling on her head which led to mild jaundice, which gave us feeding problems over the weekend, but thats sorted now - shes turned into a bit of a milk monster!

We're slowly getting used to having Alyssa around - its been interesting! what a huge change - you know things are going to change but didn't realise how much!

Rochelle - I'm like you - haven't managed to do any housework yet! my mum came round last week and did some for me. hubby's on half days atm, but he goes back ft next week - not looking forward to that.

Hopefully, some more june buddies turn up soon, although looks like some of us are heading into the second half of June.

Hi girls...

Sorry I have taken a few days to reply... between the forum issues and mummy-hood get a bit hard to post!!!

Rochelle - Congrats on avoiding that induction. What a good bubs!!! How are you coping alone this week? My DH is still off this week and I would be going insane without having him around.

Sammy - Hi there. Congrats to you too. Have to love mums. Mine is due to visit next week and I am looking forward to being spoiled! Great news re your feeding.

cj and I are doing well. He is feeding like a trooper and is now back to above his birth weight!! but we are now battling with wind.. poor little guy, hopefully we can get past this soon.
