Hey All....well when you get here!!! I had Rebecca Vicki born on Monday 17th November at 12.01pm in the bath. She was 3324gms and 48.5cms long with a head c of 34cms. Will update when I have time Oh and I have a 19 month old dd named Olivia
Hi just introducing myself, I suspect that 1/2 of our 1-15th Dec belly buddies group are soon to join as we've been a busy bunch (will mention it on our other board).
My name is Diana and DH is Justin. Our first child was born on the 21/11/2008 at 0022, a soon to be named little boy. I am still debating spelling at this point.
We are in Canberra but spend a lot of time in Sydney as I have lots of family there. Other than bub and DH I also share my home with two very funny dogs.
What else?
I am now offically a WAHM who is currently more mum than worker. I have an online business with my Mother as well as doing website design and IT freelance work to make ends meet.
Our little man is a champion sleeper and really enjoying his food (a little so enthusiatically as mums boobs are sore now - but we're still trying. Thank goodness for nipple shields and expressing).
Well thats a good starting point. I really have found the support on the Belly Budies group fantastic and hope it continues here. If anything it is great to be able to find out what others are going through at the same stages as it helps me put things back in perspective so I can normalise a very new situation.
My bub was born on November the 15th, but I hope it is ok if I join this group?? I already know MIT and mini- hi guys!
mini- did you have a home birth?
My waters broke at 37 weeks and went in the next day to be induced. Mia got stuck at 5cm, so had an emergency c sec.
All is going well apart from an infected C sec scar, which I am on antibiotics for.
Looking forward to chatting with other Nov Mummies soon!
Hello girls....good to see some familiar faces in here!! I'm also a member of the 1-15th Dec belly buddies group. My third son was born on the 19th of November at 1.54 pm by c-section. He weighed 9 pounds, was 51.5 cm long and 2 weeks early. His name is Ochre Jhuna (pronounced Oh-kah Jew-nah). He has two big older brothers. We've been home for 4 days now and loving it. Ochre has been a great little baby so far...sleeping and breastfeeding well. I look forward to chatting with the Nov babies mummies too
Hi girls, great to see some people in here. I was 38 +3, basically I was in the hospitla for less than 2 hours and out came Rebecca. I had her in the bath, which was different...in a good way. It did help me relax a lot more. My dd1, Olivia, was born in the same hospital but I had her laying on my back. Olivia was birthed over 15hours, rebecca totalled 6hours. Rebeccas was very intense.
About me, I am a sahm, usually I work in mental health...dont hold that against me!!! I am married to Adam whos an electrician and has his own business and at the moment I am doing his books, so that keeps me busy. Olivia is 19months old...born on April fools day last year. Shes a fantastic kid whos been through a bit. She had hip dysplasia and was in a harness for 6.5 months, now her feet turn in, but other than that shes well.
Rebecca will have to have follow up to make sure her hips are ok. She was born with positional tallipies, basically her foot was twisted from sticking in my ribs for so long. It has got better with massage, however will need to keep at it for a while. Shes not a great feeder and we have been to the lactation day stay today for some help. Am really keen on b/f this time around as it didnt work for Olivia. She sleeps reasonably well.
Thought I'd pop in and say hello, not a lot of time for posting these days but occasionally get a chance to read how everyone is going.
Smoz - OMG that sounds frightening, glad that no-one was hurt. Sorry to hear that things have been rough on the home front.
All going well here, Willow is growing really well and starting to develop her own little personality and growing very quickly. Had her needles last week, seemed to cope ok a little bit whingy and a few red spots but otherwise no major reactions. Is already over 5kg (5.1 last week). Lots of smiles now which is lovely. Sort of sleeping through still have to establish a feeding routine as I just feed whenever she wants it which seems to be at very different times every day.
Hey girls, sorry I have been AWOL, will type quickly before Finn wakes up.
Smoz - how scary for you, hope you can find somewhere else to live without too much drama as it can't be nice for you guys with all that going on. Also, good luck with the marriage counselling.
MissKylie - wow on Zane sleeping so well, we are still getting up to feed a couple of times a night....
All is well here, just hectic and hard to get a chance to post but that is life with a newborn
Okay wishing you & your bubs sleepy vibes for tonight.
