Congrats again Dan and D! So happy for you both!!!
Well we are home! Settling in ok - I think the little guy is going to take a while to get used to his new surroundings and screeching sister! Izzy has been SO cute with him so gentle , giving him kisses and cuddles! He has slept super well the last few nights and is feeding ok - although a bit all over the place and my bb's are SORE...... attachment is fun right now on the right - still like it was with Izzy. I must just hold them funny on that side I think plus he isn't fully draining me so I'm a bit full..... milk came in yesterday so hopefully they will start to settle once we get into some kind of routine!
Im a bit sad I didn't get my VBAC. Not angry, or regretful but just sad I didn't get to birth my babes, but they are both such healthy happy babies how can I really complain and this time I can say I did it all! 10lb! I still can't believe it and his head was 38cms!!! Whopper!
Anyway, lovely HUGE to you all for your support and love - it means a tremendous amount to me....back when I can find another 5 mins free!
Great news Dan. Hopefully Livvy will settle back into being a lovely sleeping princess through the night.
Jan - I hear you on the walking cyclones. I can't believe how one little person (well, one and a half really - Ellie is starting to get in on it too!) can make such a mess in such a short period of time. She loves being outside too - bashes on the sliding doors to get out, whatever the weather is!
Oh Tan. I'm sorry for you too sweetie but having James safe and sound in your arms is the main thing. You did everything a person could do and unfortunately it wasn't to be. That's so gorgeous of Izzy. I'm sure you'll find as I have done that some of the most beautiful moments you could imagine come from watching your babies interact with each other. Hopefully his feeding will settle into a routine and your bbs will settle down too. So weird with the sides thing isn't it. My problem side was the left side (which you'll be happy to hear that according to the LC I saw that makes me weird!). Sending you lots of healing vibes so that you're up and about quickly with your gorgeous kiddies.
Hi to everyone else. Off to give Iz a bath before I take a drug overdose and go to bed. Still feeling very, very unwell. Did anyone else find their first AF was just horrific?
arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i feel so sick!!!!! blergh blergh this just sux!!!
Yes Lulu, you lucky duck for avoiding it for this long! But yes my first AF was awful....but everyone there after got lighter and lighter. Since having a baby my periods have been the shortest ever!
Tan glad to hear you are home. I'm sorry too hun but the main thing is that you and James are both safe and well! Good luck with the bf hun. Izzy sounds gorgeous!
Lulu I can't remember my first AF lol, was that long ago! But same as D, mine are much lighter now.
Dan yay for Livvy's teeth, what a relief hey? We finally got some molars poking through too so praying that Ellie settles down as well! How are you feelilng?
D eeewwww you poor thing.
Jan great to hear from you. I hear you on the little cyclones, I have one too lol!
Feeling a bit sad this morning as DH has gone away for work until Monday, yes I'm being a sook lol. Just annoyed at the timing as we have tradesman in our new house and I have already had a phone call saying that some doors need to be removed for the floors. Yep I'll just pop down and pull them off with a toddler at my feet NOT! Gggrrrrr why does DH work trips always happen at the worst possible times. Sorry vent over! Be back when I'm in a better mood!
Tan - Glad you are all home!! James is just gorgeous. He really is a beautiful baby!! I bet Izzy is just besotted with him. Angus loves babies and everywhere we go he yells out bubba - bubba!! Even if they are older than him he is a dag! About your vbac, at least you gave it your best shot. You could have not tried, had James at 38wks as an elective ceaser and then left with the "what if". I think you did a great job holding on for so long, you are one strong woman tan - and an awesome Mummy. you DH and kids are lucky to have you Hope you settles down!! Enjoy your new role as Mum of 2!!
Lulu - my AF is always heavy, and I hat to say has got worse after every child. I get them so heavy it is ridiculous. I usually have to stay at home if I can the first 2 days I have them as it is so heavy I can't control it. And I am glad I am not BF now so at least I can take some pain killlers. Was awful having to try and survive with just panadol. But, I hope you are like the others and it gets better next time!!
D - gotta love morning sickness hey! You poor thing, hope it disappears soon for you..
Dan - How are you going!! Are you still trying to let it all sink in!! I am so happy for you and D that you get to go through your preg journey together!! My bets are that you both have boys too!! How is work? I am still doing 3 shifts a f/n, dont really have any desire to work anymore atm!! Lazy, I know, but maybe next year I will get my butt organised!!
Lis - how did you go? Did you get those doors off
AFM - I am so over teething atm. Angus spent all night tossing and turning, crying, screaming etc etc. He has 2 eye teeth popping through, and then he started with a cough and runny nose - yay, just what we need. DD2 has had it so I spose it was a matter of time. I also feel like $hit, but I think it is cause I am soooo tired. So I have given him panadol and will put him back to bed soon i think.
