Sonia: Yay, he is so adorable. I'm so happy he's here! :wohoo:

Melly, Sassy, Brier: I hope labor comes on soon and you're holding your babies today. :hugs:

Nikki: That is wonderful news! So happy Ella is ready to go home. :yipee:

Mommyof2peas: Ahhh, hun I'm sorry you woke up to no labor. :( I hope it happens soon. Try not to worry to much. :hugs:
 
Congrats Sonia, he's beautiful!

AFM, I finally got Lilah to at least have her butt to my left side and her feet in the other direction, maybe I can get her to turn the rest of the way today. I was sitting on my bed and suddenly my husband came in a little while ago, pushed me over and started rubbing my feet in the hopes he'd hit those pressure points that can induce labor. Not in labor, but it felt really nice. I love when he does sweet things without me having to ask or even imply that I would like to have them done.
 
Congrats Sonia! Hes very cute. Good size too, I know you were worried he may be larger.

Thats great you got her to move. Mine is slightly posterior but I dont think I will be able to tell if he turns the right way, I never have any clue where he is.
 
Congratulations Sonia!:happydance: Hope it went well after your concerns about his size - at least he wasn't huge like you feared.:thumbup:

Nikki - glad you're getting home soon. :thumbup:

Melly - hope this is it and things continue to progress for you so you get your VBAC. :flower:

Hope everyone else - mommy, sassy and brier especially, don't have much longer to wait. :hugs:

Darcey has a little eye infection. I seem to be keeping on top of it with cooled boiled water bathing and squirts of 'booby juice' into it. The MW yesterday took a swab and advised we see the GP tomorrow. She now weighs 7lb12oz (birth weight 7lb10oz). I got a bit tearful at the appointment at the thought that we're not having any more babies. :blush:

Pics of my girls for those not on my FB :cloud9:

Ok, I need breastfeeding advice. So, I wanna try and stock up on some stored milk for times that I'm not able to breastfeed due to being out or like last night I was so sick so kevin wanted to feed blake and let me sleep. When is the best time to pump?? I feed blake every 3 hours and I feed ten mins on each side. I tried pumping after I fed him but it took me a while and only filled half a bottle... Should I feed him 20 mins on one side and pump the other side? Should I pump in between the 3 hour break?? I'm so confused!

I was instructed to feed on one breast only for now and pump the other for relief if needed. We switch breasts if Violet falls asleep or seems disinterested. It's different for her because they are treating her as a late preterm baby and want her to continue her feedings and not feed on demand yet.

My lactation consultant told me to pump for relief (about 0.5oz each side) 2-3 times in between feedings as needed for discomfort and save the milk. If I am comfortable, no pumping but my supply is huge so pumping for comfort is done a few times a day. She said it's ok for me save all the milk from different pumpings for the day in one container so long as it gets frozen or refrigerated.

If you pump right after a feeding, there will be less milk immediately available so I think waiting an hr and pumping is more reasonable. If you are doing it right, your body should adjust to the demand in a few days.

She made it clear to only pump until breasts were soft so my body didn't think I had twins! If you pump too much, you will overproduce and perpetually be engorged. It was recommended I don't pump any longer than 15 minutes at a maximum but she recommended more like 5 minutes/breast.
 
Congratulations, Sonia! And welcome home, Ella! And get well soon, Darcey!

As for me, Violet slept 3 hours in a row last night giving mommy and daddy a much needed block of time for sleep. Yay!
 
Sonia
Congrats he's so cute can't wait for ur birth story thanks for sharing can't wait for more pics :)
 
Aw, he's perfect Sonia! Hope it all went ok. So happy it finally happened for you xxx

Melly - Good news that they think it's early labour! Even if it takes a while to establish properly, it sounds like a good sign that things could be different this time :)
 
Ditty - Glad you got some sleep :) & hope it's just the start of longer stretches of sleep for you :)

Nikki - Hope the pain starts to ease soon :hugs: Good news about taking Ella home :)

So glad you have him! I can't believe how far off they were about his size! Geez! His pictures are precious!!!
 
Congrats Sonia! So fun to follow your labor!

Good luck melly! Sounds like you are on the right track!

And nikki I am so so sorry to hear about your tailbone! The end of pregnancy and childbirth are brutally uncomfortable and painful enough, throwing in extra pain just doesn't see fair... At least you now have your little one to enjoy!
 
Congrats again Sonia! Is is just gorgeous :)

Nikki, really glad you're on your way home & hope your pain eases up a bit.

Melly hope this is it! Goodluck & keep us posted!

Ditty, so glad u got a bit of sleep!!

Sassy & Brieri, you ladies have to be next, fingers crossed!!!

Hope everyone else is well xx
