    Hello All Natalya Marie was born on 13th June and surprised all of us by being 2 weeks early - I was totally unprepared for her!

    She also seems to have her body clock all mixed up...and seems to have lovely long sleeps during the day and is restless at nightime. Hopefully that will all settle down soon.

    Look forward to sharing our babies journey with you all.

    to all

    After lurking around bb for the past 5 months or so, it's finally time for me to jump back in and start posting

    My bubbas Grace Veronica and Hannah Elizabeth were born 13th of June at 33+6 weeks, and DH and I are in love

    The girls are still in the Special Care Nursery and I'm boarding at the hospital for now to be close by for feeds (we live almost an hour from the hospital). They are only suck feeding every second feed, but hopefully it won't be too long before we can take them home and really start our journey as a family.

    I look forward to geting to know you all, and your precious bundles

    Hi all

    As Bridg said in our other thread I welcomed the arrival of my smallest Princess @ 12.55am, 11th June, taking me to 40wks + 3days.
    She is a absolute dream & couldn't be anymore perfect! Her older siblings totally adore her too *sigh*

    Hello all,

    Finally got some time to get on here and announce the birth of my beautiful boy. William MacGreggor arrived 8 June @ 2:45pm - one week early. 3110kg, 47cms long. I went into labour spontaneously at home about 8:30am. We went to hospital in the early afternoon and I was convinced that they would send us home. But just for fun our little one was well and truly on his way bottom first - I was 8 cm dilated and getting pushy. They took me straight to theatre and he was born via emergency ceasearean due to being breech.

    We are all good - having some feeding issues though. He is a little savage so has wrecked my nipples to the point where I'm expressing and suck feeding him to give them a rest. Hoping that will improve and I can put him back on the boob soon. Owchies is all I can say.

    Congrats to all of you other new mums out there...what a ride huh!?

    Hi ladies - lovely to see this thread filling up with mums and bubs

    lollybaby - congrats on the arrival of little William! Sorry to hear he has been giving you a lot of pain bfing - my ds was a bit of a barracuda (lol!) and it's not fun - sounds like you've got a pretty good alternative going there. And yes - what a ride indeed

    mum030709 - congrats on the arrival of your newest princess - sounds like you are very smitten...

    alloy - what gorgeous bubby girls you have! congratulations on the birth of Hannah and Grace - beautiful names too. I hope they are continuing to do well in SCN and that you're doing ok living away. I know its not good to wish time away but I hope it zooms by for you until you get to take your little bundles home...

    Ang - congrats again on the early arrival of little Natalya - I love the pic of your 3 kids together, what a great shot. IKWYM about the big sleeps during the day and being unsettled at night. Lila is doing pretty good now but the last couple of nights has had a big unsettled patch between 4.30 - 7am, just when I could use a couple more hours sleep! Hope Natalya can switch it around soon, and when she does please ask her to tell Lila!

    Big hello to kitten, Ali (how is the pelvic pain now?) and BD - hope you and your bubs are travelling along ok...

    AFM - Lila had her 0-4 week check up today (at 2w5d) with the CHN and is growing beautifully which is good encouragement when bfing! She has gained 500g from her hospital discharge weight and is now 3.47kg. She has added 2cm to her head circ (now 35.5cm) and 1.5cm in length (now 53cm), and is maintaining steady growth on all of her percentiles which is good - I'll just have to try and remember all of this good growth at the next 2am feed

    And a quick intro on us for those I haven't met yet - I was induced at 38 wks due to gestational diabetes, with Lila arriving on 4 June at 8.00am (on the dot) weighing 3.24kg (7lb2oz). DH, DS and I are completely besotted with our little Princess Poppet

    Look forward to hearing everyone's updates whenever they are able!
