Afternoon everyone

Our little group is slowly getting bigger

Bella - Hope by now you are home and settling into home life with little K. It does get so confusing in hospital because every midwife has different advice. Although I was scared to leave when I had DD1 because I had no idea what I was doing, it really was a relief to get home and find my own groove with things & I"m sure you will be the same. C was 6lb 12.5oz, 80gms smaller than her big sister was but with a much bigger appetite. DD1 was a shocker to try and get to BF and took me three days & many thoughts of formual feeding before she started feeding properly. This little one latched on soon as she came out and is a real b**bie monster.

Pretz - Of course you can hang out in here, if I'm here you should be too How is your little man going? Settling into being a mum to two?

Frog - Was so happy to hear your little girl made it safe and healthy after the last few weeks you have been through. Hope you too are home or close to going home with your precious little bundle. You will know when your milk comes in, they kind of feel all warm & *****ly & rock hard to the point of them aching and being sore to touch. I'm sure you've probably already had this now though

As for us - my little girl is 12 days old already, can time slow down. She had slotted perfectly into our crazy little world and I'm too scared to say it out loud in case I jinx myself but so far she is more placid than her big sister was a newborn. Overnights she averages 3-4 hours between feeds and a couple of nights I was lucky enough with 5 hour stretches. Last night she fed at 10.30, 2.30 & 6.30 which if she keeps up I can more than manage I will go and get her weighed on Thursday to see how far off or whether she is now past her birth weight.

Hope you are all enjoying your newborn snuggles xox
