Babies Born June 2007 #2

[Charlyfrog]

Hi girls! Well,been MIA.. yet again!!

So much has been said since I was last on last millenium so thought I'd take the rare opportunity just to say hi rather than read everything - coz by the time I'd finish reading it'd be time to attend to one of the girls! (can hear one already!!) and I wouldn't have even said hello.........so,

...hello!!!!!!

I hope you are all doing fab and welcome to the new girls!
I'm missing you all, missing the chats and stories that make me feel like a normal mummy raising a toddler and a newborn................and there goes the other one!

DD#2 is certainly chunking it on now!! Her stats are approx...

Born 14/06/07 (39wks)
Weight 3.730kg (8lb4oz)
Length 51cm
Head circ 36cm

Last check 16/08/07 (9wks old)
Weight 5.4kg
Length 61cm
Head circ.....forgot!

So can't really say that she is wasting away!! LOL!!

Have really been aware of the growth spurt times coz she will be completely feral and appear hungry 24/7 and not sleep at all during the day. Actually, have an inkling that there might be another spurt happening because consistently for the past day or so she will wake an hour after falling asleep, grizzle and cry a bit then sleep again. So did an experiment today: I had been leaving her to resettle herself but today she didn't seem like she was going to so I thought I'd try a feed and she took a full one no worries!!!

Does anyone's 'let down' hurt?? This is going to sound completely loopy but seconds before I have let down, which hurts this time - never noticed it with first DD.........but seconds before I get really happy!! Like really happy!! Yes. I am weird. But I know that I am about to have let down and so prepare myself!! LOL!! Kooky me huh?!


And Mumoflewis - am hearing you about not wanting to buy bigger sizes!!! Had a tear the other day when we were just going to get out the house for five minutes as a family...........all my pre-pg clothes are those lovely flattering things that are shapely etc. very bad for showing off all lumps and bumps post-pg!! So am living in the same handful of tops and holey jeans and trakky daks.....am looking into getting to the gym but am worried about affecting my bm etc...............anyone have any thoughts on this?? Never been a gym person but am really determined to get myself into shape this time. After DD#1 I hid behind the, "I'm going to have more children soon so there's not much point working too hard on my bod just for it to be re-mooshed!!" Coz as far as things go, there ain't going to be any other munchkins popping out of me!!!!!! (not closing door entirely but it is barely open a hair width!! LOL!!)

Ok.
So that was my 5 minutes of me time, must go attend to DD#1 now.......hehe!!
I really hope that I can keep up with all you lovlies and hopefully my 'bbl' won't be six weeks away!!

Take care all!!
Mwa!!!

Oh and we bought a dishwasher - wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!
