Swoooon, so in love with my little man....despite him not being so little-lol. How are you going mm and Yas? I'm pretty woozy pain wise but other than that feel great! T is a fab feeder but like you Mm I want to sleep then. Can't wait to hear from you both. Xx
Also completley in love with our little (big.. lol) girl. Its actually making me abit clucky! haha. Breastfeeding is going really well, she is quite the piggy. I have the midwife coming over tomorrow for a home visit.... fingers crossed she has put on weight.
Taylah has been abit chucky.. DD was always a huge chucker but she was FF. Im wondering if its somthing Im eating thats upsetting her tummy...?
Hi Mm-great to have company in here your Miss T is gorgeous! My Mr T is a bit spewy too, it's normal after a cs for them to be abut mucousy so I'm putting it down to that. Weren't both ourbabies a good size? Lol. I'm still so surprised....
My milk is just starting to come in and I am absolutely loving the breastfeeding, it's such a lovely bonding experience. Dh and I are still getting to know ds but we just adore him. Thankfully dd is very interested in ds lots of kisses and cuddles and showing no sign of jealousy even when bfing. I am so proud of her but it will all get more real when we're home in a couple of days.
Hiya.
Cheshire-look forward to getting to knOw you
Im doing okay, very teary though!! Silly hormones. Nothing to be teary about though. Dd adores ds and he slept in the swing all through her play, dinner, bath and milk time. Right now both kids are sleeping and so is dh, I really need to join them soon. Dd is a bit Whingey, got out of routine when I was in hospy and is very tired, hopefully shell bs back to normal in a couple of days.
Ds is liking to feed ALOT! He's been using me as a dummy but that's okay for now. He also hates silence which makes sense as I'm a tv in the bedroom gal. I've put some ocean music on in his roo
And we haven't heard a peep so it seems to be working.
Hi girls
Sorry I've been super lazy but I'm back! Lol.
Star- Mr T is sooooo cute. Can't wait to hear all about the birth! Are you home now? Xxx
MM- Lol, don't rush updating it I'm so happy your BF ok, it's nice isn't it? Xxx
Hi Cheshire
Sorry for the short presses, I'm on my phone and it annoys me!
Afm- bubba is doing really well, he is a little boobie man too No jealousy here either, Ds1 adores his little brother. Aren't our big kids awesome! I had the littlest bub in the group ( apart from SF twinnies of course!) oh,and I got professional photos done yesterday, I haven't seen them al but the three on FB are so cute! MM did you get professional ones done too?
Lots of love xxxx
Hi guys, im also on my phone so pls ignore the typos.
So happy you are in here now Yas and I saw both your and Mm's professional pics and they ate gorgeous!! We are getting ours done next Wednesday.
Last night went surprisingly well....Mr T fed at 9:30, 1:30 and then slept until 6:30. I cluster fed him from about 7pm though until we put him to bed around 9:30ish. He doesn't like the quiet room so I've got the noise machine playing ocean sounds and that seems to be working really well.
Yas I'm taking digesic and panadol for the pain and it's seeming to work. I'm pretty achey though by night.
Looks like I won't be joining you all in here... hope the october girls ate nice *sniff sniff* thnkx for all ur support in the other thread, yesterday was a shocker!!!! Hope ur pooy babies are all cuddly and warm unlike my boney 2yr old who just slapped me in the face as she was waking... Lol

OG there is no reason you can't still chat in here & the Oct thread is really quiet because we use the FB group which you would be more than welcome to join
Poo talk Bambi has lovely mustard colour poos & does one pretty much every feed.
O/N she'll feed every 3-4 hours, she'll latch on & go straight back to sleep & during the day she'l feed 2-3hourly.
She really is a dream baby compared to my other 2.
Cheshire, she really does sound like a wonderful baby! We thought dd was a good baby but have ready noticed Mr T cries and fusses lots less so maybe dd wasn't so fab after all. We know he's going to wake up soon enough though.
OG-I would lOve you to join in here too if you would like too.
Mr T fed at 8:30,1,4 and 7 and is sleeping now. Dh took dd to swimming at 7 this morning and I've just heard them get home now.
DD2 was constantly attached to the boob & always had to be held & only recently at 2yrs old started sleeping through the night.
DD1 was just a demanding baby & is no different now lol
It's nice to have an "easy" baby & i hope she stays that way but i wont hold my breath.
How nice of your DH to your dd out for awhile, it's nice to get a break for a few hours.
Bambi has been down since & 8 and my boobs are killing me.
Hi ladies, how was everyones weekend? We had a lovely weekend, dd is being a great big sister and seemed to be on her best behavior and ds continuesto be pretty easy. He sleeps alot and has bulk awake time of a few hours in the evening while dd is drinking her milk and playing. I'm still finding myself with excess milk and not trusting him yet that he's had enough. Today I was fairly persuasive about getting him back on the boob and he had a spew afterwards. Bad mummy. I expressed twice today, once for comfort this morning but this evening I expressed while dh gave mr t his first bottle. Mr t took it well but took a little while to figure out how it all wOrks. Immjudt using my manual pump at the moment, once I go back to the office proPerly I'll use the double electric there but right now that feels too full on and I don't want to over stimulate.
