    We have had a much better day today. I think it was just all the upheaval of being born, paed checks, coming home, getting dressed etc. Shes all wrapped up snoozing on my bed now. I'm about to go join her.

    Cassius, she was 4228g. It's all stored in her thighs. Like her mama.

    Hi girls!

    We just had our 2 week check today! it was a little bit with a little bit of this as i had to say goodbye to one of my beautiful midwives. always always the hardest part of this whole caper. i love them to bits and only get to see them at the picnics that happen twice a year.

    The great news is that little poppet has STACKED on the weight she is up 590gms from birthweight! little chubba! so over the moon that all that feeding is doing its job.

    Audax: haha, DD2 was a thigh baby lol. i had to remember after her baths to wipe in the folds on her legs lol. Both DD1 and DD3 have chicken legs..but DD3 seems to store her chubs in her chin serious double chin action in this house.

    RCC: hope you have had a better night with bubs. We had an alright one last night. she slept well enough until about 3am, then decided it was poop o'clock and that rocked the boat for a couple of hours. not crying, but unsettled. thankfully she is snoozing on and off in the moses basket today which frees me up a bit to just flake out on the couch eating tim tams.

    Hi ladies, much better night and day for us. Little Miss is having her unsettled time now, so hoping she will be more settled tonight.
    Funny about the double chin - Miss K has a good one but has chicken legs - haha!

    Midwife came today. Heel pr!ck test took aaaaages as our little wonder is clearly dosed up on clotting factor. She has lost 230g. Otherwise, we just had a big debrief, which was really good.

    I'm sitting in the dark eating chocolate (two squares only!) and feeding. Managed to bath both kids by myself tonight, it was a bit of an experiment, just to see how I'd go, and it wasn't too bad!

    Cassius - wow on the weight gain, awesome, mumma has some good milk, lol on the double chin, e-bub (as dad has nicknamed her) is carrying it all in her cheeks, nothing else on her.

    Rhichichi - hope you and miss k had a better night xxx

    Audax - Fantastic work on bathing two, it can only get easier from now.

    We had another unsettled day yesterday but 2 from 14 is not bad. Had 2 week check yesterday and she's growing in all areas which i am happy with, quieter girls day today both boys are at care, so just relaxing putting my feet up

    Hope all the bubs and mums are having a good day

    Hi all, how is everyone going? Got Miss K weighed yesterday and she has managed to gain 270g in a week.... Definitely no milk supply issues here. She was a little unsettled the night and day before today but I think it was something I ate plus some snack drinking by Miss K because last night she only woke at 12 and 3.30 so I was happy with that.

    I hope you are all ok x
