Hi ladies - I already know some of you from the belly buddies, but for those of you I haven't yet met I wanted in introduce myself.

I am 21yrs old, married Oct 06 to my gorgeous husban Josh. We own and run a Tourist Park in Forster NSW along with his parents. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world a week ago and feel oh so blessed! Her name is Tiera May (pronouced Tier (as in a cake Tier)-a).

She is a great night sleeper and is fantastic during the day. I find myself going into her room to check on her sometimes as she is so quiet. I am currently breastfeeding and she is thriving, only got 70g to go and she will be back up to her birth weight. Most of the time she laches well, but sometimes I have a bi of trouble. I have extreamly sore nipples and her initial sucks are just kill me. I am getting there and keep telling myself I'll toughen up soon. A friend of mine and my GP told me the first two weeks are the most painful and if I get through that I'll be fine... I hope this is true, but I have no intention of putting her on a bottle no matter how much pain I have to endure. I love feeding her and find it comforting for her and myself.

I look forward to getting to know everyone. Take care
