Wow - took me about 3 goes to read this thread - I'm so tired and brain dead after a couple of horror nights with Lily. I honestly don't think they were that bad, just waaaaaaay worse than I've been used to. Poor baby has a horrible nappy rash which just looks so painful and I think that is really taking her away from being her usual placid self. The 6 or 7 pooey nappies a day are not helping her.

She's pretty good moving between bb and bottle - definitely prefers the bb though. Getting lots of return visits from the formula though - as more of my milk comes in she still wants to gobble the bottle and then doesn't need it so much so it all comes back. The battle to slow her down is fun.

With my c section, we did it because Lily was showing up on all the scans as being bigger than the 90th percentile and was also sitting really high. The actual procedure took more than an hour and a half and I lost over a litre of blood. Turns out my uterus was really deep in my cervix and really close to my bladder so there were some worries about my bladder. Sentences I never want to hear from my OB again - "now take her uterus out" ... He put it back, but still ... He told me afterwards that if we'd been doing an emergency ceasar Lily would probably not have survived, and he doesn't know if I'll be able to have another. My 6 week check up should be a really fun appointment - I'm writing loads of questions as I think of them. Not sure what we will do with the other frozen embie we have, but I'm treasuring every second I have with my girl.

Well, that turned into a massive unload, sorry everyone. Hope Ellie, Emily and Wade are doing well, and just as importantly, their mums.
