Kylie - I hear you on the heel ***** taking more than one go, and my girls had to have bloods taken daily for 3 days to check on their jaundice levels. I think they both ended up with at least 5 heel ***** holes on each foot. They coped really well with it though, better than I did anyway!
Kristee - Hope your milk comes in soon and that Ethan starts to feed more frequently and without being woken.
I have one great feeder and one lazy feeder, which is making it a little tricky to feed them both at the same time, so I haven't been twin feeding yet. I ordered a twin feeding pillow yesterday, so when that arrives I will give it a go. Amber (who is the good feeder) has put on weight since we left hospital and was almost back to birth weight when weighed last on the 5th of Nov. Kaylee initially lost weight, but when weighed 2 days later had gained. As she is not a great feeder, I am really hoping that she has gained again when we get her weighed on Wednesday. I have plenty of milk, she is just too lazy to suck for very long.
Both girls were very unsettled yesterday, so I'm hoping today is a little better.
Well, Ethan was in bed with me all night...waking roughly every 2 hours for a feed...I just put him on and went back to sleep though - LOL! He's finally back in his bed this morning though...I feel like my milk is definitely on it's way in though!!
Shell - You are amazing feeding your 2 girls - I can't imagine what a huge job it is to have twins!! It's always a great feeling to see them gaining weight!! Hope it continues!
I really need to upload some photos and change my ticker...
Oh, and I'm so over these afterpains - I never had them this bad with Louis and Dylan...Hopefully in another day or so they should be gone I suppose...
I was completely convinced that our baby girl was going to arrive before her 31 Oct due date that I didn't explore any of the other belly buddy groups so I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone in here. Of course some of you girls have come over with me from October...
Jeff and I live in Canberra and work in IT (although we're both technically unemployed at the moment...taking a couple of months off to get to know our little girl).
Katherine Grace is a our first child. She made a relatively quick entry into the world on 1 Nov (only 5 hours of labour). She feeds a lot and sleeps a lot and makes us smile all day. So far our biggest problem has been deciding on how we want to spell her name (we started out with Kathryn) so we consider ourselves pretty blessed...touch wood.
Anyway, I look forward to sharing this adventure with you all.
Anjanette - Congrats on your baby girl! How great that you've both got a couple of months to spend together! Wow! Glad that everythings going well and she's settled in with you both so well!
We're going well...Ethan is my most placid child so far thats for sure! My 2 older boys are at times being more work than him at the moment! I'm so glad dh is home for a couple of weeks...then he'll be at work for another few and then xmas holidays!
He's still sleeping with me at night as I'm often too tired to get him settled in his bassinette, although he sleeps in it mostly for the day...
We did the food shopping today and he slept the whole time in the sling which was great! I never used one for the other boys...
I'm so tired though..think I've done too much today...my bodies aching...
It's very quiet in here - anyone would think your all busy with newborns - LOL! Chat later!
Hi all, im finally here.
Charli Isabelle Maddison Timms arrived at 1.14am Tuesday 11th Nov.
Weighed 8 pound 12.5oz or 3980g (exact same as Alyssa) delivered by the same midwife as Alyssa also. 53cm long, 34cm head circ.
All natural labour, no drugs, 5hrs and 18 minutes long. No stitches for me just a graze and we got to come home Tuesday lunchtime which was a big relief.
Milk has just come in today and bubs is doing really really well, feeding very frequently and sleeping really well in her own bassinette.
The nurse came today for a checkup, she has lost 270g since birth which isnt too bad, she has beautiful soft smooth baby skin and looks like her daddy.
Hope everyone else is well, i have posted a couple of pics in the gallery, hopefully will get a chance to get some more up soon.
Well, Ethan slept the whole night in his bassinette last night - with 4 feeds though, LOL! but happy that I got some restful sleep in amongst it as well...
Having a great relaxing day at home, had the housecleaner come in so my house is sparkling and now all 4 of my boys (including dh) are sound asleep - a miracle as my oldest hasn't had a day sleep in a looonnngg time but definitely needs it - he's asleep in our bed though so maybe thats what we need to do from now on if I really need him to sleep.
Ethans sleeping again all day...LOL!
How much awake time are your kids having? I just don't remember the boys sleeping so much! Ethans lucky to be awake for 30-45min including feed time and he's back asleep...I guess he needs it though!
Kirra - Yeah! I love your ticker photo - just gorgeous! So glad to hear your doing so well! Thats fantastic!
Thats so cute Krisvee, good to hear he's sleeping well.
Charli sleeps whenever she isnt feeding, she slept from 7pm til almost 5am Tuesday Night/Wed Morn, tried waking her up to feed her but she didnt want anything, just a sleep, i was getting a lil worried she might dehydrate so instead of catching up on sleep while she did i only had a couple of hours cause i was worrying. Midwife said today it was normal but that didnt help me the other night. lol
At the moment she feeds for 10-20 minutes and sleep for 30-60 and then feeds again.
