Hi girls! Good to hear everyone is doing so beautifully!!

Buzzie - I wasn't sore with any of my babies not even my 9+ lb bub. After each bub I've said to my husband at the end of the day that apart from the bleeding I didn't even feel like I had a baby! Wasn't sore at all (except for my coccyx bone with DD1) and I felt amazing with heaps of energy, no different really though. Mind you, I had no stitches or tearing. I'm sure you could expect to feel sore from stitches as there has obviously been damage.

Sounds like some great weight gains! I had Ava weighed on Monday and she had put on 810grams in the fortnight... 405grams each week. Nothing next to the 500-600grams Ro was putting on a week! None the less I'm very proud of what a great job my boobs and Ava are doing. She was about 2.8 kgs at birth, went down to 2.4 something before we left hospital and she was almost 4kgs at 4 weeks! I'd say she is over 4kgs now because she feels really heavy the last few days and I used tp be able to put my hands around her chest and touch my fingers together, but now she WAY too thick to do that. I agree with someone from the pregnancy thread - I'm so inlove with her I can't stop kissing and staring her. You'd think you wouldn't be so consumed after you've done it a couple of times, but having a baby never gets old. I'm constantly surprised how much love a heart is capable. Just when I thought I couldn't love more, I do. Love my girls so much and I'm so grateful!

On the sleep front - I've been getting some great sleep (apart from last night as I stayed up to make Rochelle's Hoot the owl birthday invitations), but the last two nights I haven't bothered doing the dreamfeed and Ava has slept from 7pm till 2 am (7 hours) and then a bit after 6.30am (4.5 hours). Hope she keeps it up! I don't think I'll bother doing the dreamfeed if she continues as she is.

No offence intended to anyone, but we have had quite a few csections in our group haven't we? 6 csections and 5 vaginal births I think? Quite a few needing to be induced too... not meaning Wite and Bec - but because waters have broken and labour not progressed. It's all very interesting!

Better go, I have to pack to go away with the girls tomorrow. We have an engagement party next Saturday 13 hours away, so the girls and I are going to start driving tomorrow. Still not sure if Dan is going to meet us there for the engagement party, it depends on his work! Wish me luck for the drive though!!! Have a great weekend girls.
