Babies Born ~ December 2012 #1

[Aries]

Hi ladies, wondering if I can pop in here? I was due on January 10th but my twins came earlier on the 19th Dec
Eloise Violet Fay 5 pounds 6 oz ( 2432 grams ) and Mason Timothy Aaron 4 pounds 12 oz ( 2166 grams ) and both are utterly gorgeous!!
We had an elective c section at 37 weeks gestation, which has been fabulous. It hasn't given me any trouble at all! I struggled to put on weight through out my pregnancy and am now lighter than what I was pre-pregnancy.
Congrats to you all on the arrival of your little blessings, I look forward to chatting to you all

Hi everyone - hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Years.

Welcome Aries & Starfish - A huge congratulations on your little bundles of bliss, seems like the January group had some impatient little ones like the December group did. Only one one bub went past dates & most were born early with the last born on the 22nd Dec - think they all wanted to be here to have their first Christmas

Aries - Great to read that nasal tubes are out, hoping you get your babies home very soon.

Starfish - Wow, was it exhausting to get that far and find out a C-section was needed?

Bella - how is little K going?

A big hello to anyone else who is reading.

AFM - My little princess is 6 weeks today - where has that time gone! She was weighed yesterday and is now a whole 4.190kgs and 51cm long - the little pipsqueak lol. She is still proving to be chilled out little baby. We have wind issues later at night because she is a guts & gulps down her feeds but nowhere near the colic that her big sister suffered from but once we managed to get the wind out she's happy & fingers crossed a good sleeper. I'm not getting to excited because DD1 was a fabulous sleeper from 6 weeks but hit 5-6months and turned into an absolute nightmare up 1-2 hourly feeding, so I'm praying it doesn't happen again, especially as DH works away for two weeks at a time.

Hello??
How's everyone doing? It's very quiet in here...

Thanks for the welcome Phoenix. I still haven't written up my birth story, but TBH, I think that the whole birth experience was good overall. Call me strange, but I always think that the labour, painful as it is, is an important part of the birthing process, so I was glad to go through it. I did try to deliver naturally, but the position that DS was in made it too difficult as he wasn't moving at all when I pushed...

How are everyone's babies doing in this heat? I must admit that I am getting kind of bored. We only have air conditioning in our living room, and the options for things to do (as well as looking after DS, I also have to entertain 5 year old DD) are limited... For those of you who have older children too, how are they adjusting to their new siblings?
