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!
