Welcome to the thread DD and to the world for your bub!
I have to have a TMI woohoo... I did a poo! I was starting to freak out as DD2 is now 6 days old but there was no pain, no drama... just took a while for things to kickstart up again I guess. Just in time for my midwife visiting tomorrow as I'm sure she will ask haha.
Things are going well here. DD1 is still sleeping through which I was worried she might not with DD2 being around, especially as she is a bit of a grunter!! DD1 hasn't seemed disturbed much at all though, I've seen her stir at the noises a few times but falls back asleep without me even going in so that is a relief. DD1 is wanting to feed a bit more during the day as DD2 is obviously feeding often so I've just been going with it for now, I figure in time she will get over the craze. I'm getting pretty good at feeding both at once -- have done so sitting up and laying down! I'm not too worried about DD2 missing out on milk or anything, seems to be heaps in there but will be interesting to see the weight gain when my midwife drops by tomorrow, she only lost about 4% of her birth weight when she was weighed when she came by a few days after birth and I can tell she is definitely getting bigger... we have already packed away the 4 0s which feels so crazy when DD1 was wearing 5 0s still at this point but I guess being a whole kilo heavier at birth I shouldn't be too surprised! Also funny, since many people kept saying those myths about bubs not getting enough because I was breastfeeding while pregnant yet she was a whole kilo heavier... and setting off labour, well she was over 2 weeks later in gestation than DD2 lol.
I keep calling Bree, Immy because they look so similar which I wasn't expecting. It is like going back in time! Although DD2 has a lot more hair than DD1 did (does even haha baldy toddler). They have such similar expressions though... Aubrey, Imogen, Aubrey, Imogen... have to keep reminding myself eek! We are moving house over the next few days (get keys to the new place tomorrow, turn in old keys on Sunday so doing it in stages) which will be good because it is a much bigger place and has been a good chance to ditch some stuff. Hopefully it goes pretty smoothly. Also heading back over the other side of the river so will be closer to my parents and on the way home for my Mum... she's been stopping by everyday already but it is in the opposite direction at the moment so pretty out of the way.
We are co-sleeping. No idea how often DD2 feeds or how long because I haven't really bothered clock-watching at all. Sometimes she feeds and I check the time and think oh I should remember that so I can see but I always forget, seems around 2hrs though I'm guessing. She is a faster feeder than DD1 was... she took about an hour every time and was so sleepy and small. DD2 is a huge guts and I think calm downnnn, she keeps guzzling herself into hiccups!
Inlaws arrive next week, only for two days... not looking forward to that at all. Some people probably know the story...
