Hi all
Just a quick note to say that I'm around but not finding much time to read all the posts. I know I don't technically fit into this group, but I don't know anyone in the next!

Evelyn is a great baby and is much more sleepy than Annabelle was, even as a newborn, so I'm really appreciating getting a bit of a break. Annabelle is taking things really well. I think she realises that Evelyn is here to stay, but does want some mum cuddles sometimes and asks DH to take "little baby" off me so she can have them. I don't blame her. Just hope we do ok once DH has gone back to work.

I'll try and find time to write up my labour story at some point, but basically things went pretty normally. Spontaneous onset, active labour was about 5 hrs and pushing was probably about 30-40 mins. Managed to hold out on drugs until about 7-8cm where my waters were broken, then I didn't give up the gas. After having an epi the first time round, it was nice (but very painful) not to have one this time. We came home the next day and have been going great guns with feeding. Evelyn was 3808g (8lb 6oz), so pretty big for a small me, but managed to make her way out without doing TOO much damage.

I'll try and catch up on some posts. I hope you're all enjoying having little babies around and are getting enough sleep to keep your heads up.
