Front page is all updated!!! We have 20 members who accepted their invitations so far!! Hopefully some more of us will start to have a little more spare time soon, all these little people take up every spare second don't they?! Thanks to Cleckner for making my job a LOT easier by updating the August Mummies due dates list! 
She is feeding as I type this and all I have to say is OUCH! My nips have seen better days. She latches on perfectly according to the lactation consultant but she sucks so vigorously I think one of these days a nipple might actually fall off. 
We feed every two hours like clockwork as ordered by the pediatrician when she lost a bit too much of her birthweight. Originally I was just demand feeding but since switching to this schedule she has started gaining back the weight so fingers crossed for me that she keeps gaining cause I've been worrying myself silly about it. 
how is everybody with the babies? only 2 of us, our special moment 
I love that pic of her in the Fisher Price seat, what a doll Well done with the breastfeeding 
And you too, Cleck! I know just how you feel with the super painful boobies, I wish you the very best of luck with working through it, hope it gets easier for you soon sweetie 
Also, she gave us some advice on the feeding: She says it's fine that he is wanting food every 2 hours or so, but asked whether he was draining the 120ml bottle we made up each time. We told her he was, and that at the end his mouth was still making sucky motions, so she said up it to 150ml!! The carton says that at his size he should be having 120ml every 4 hours, and he's now on 150ml every 2 and a half ish!!!! But she wasn't worried about him getting fat or anything, so neither are we now hehe... Hopefully the new 150ml feeds will start to encourage him to go longer between feeds soon. Last night was another waking-every-2-hours jobby, and we'd really like to start to get rid of those soon. Apparently by about 6 weeks they should be far more settled into a routine and things should start to get easier! I hope so! Hehe...
It's still a waiting game. hehe. 
So far there isn't enough hair to tell. We noticed in the sunlight it has a bit of a red tint but not enough to know for sure.
but Lee is so hoping that he isn't ginger that he refuses to believe it hehehe... 
They keep telling me to feed every two hours though so I have been keeping at it. I'm on such a tight schedule now that my boobs leak like a faucet if I don't feed every two hours. This morning I had waited too long and while I was sitting on the toilet(TMI..lol) I screamed for DH to hurry and grab the baby so she can feed because I was leaking all over the place.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with the nipple issues..
but thanks God I just had it for 1 week only, keep using lanolin every feeding and after taking a bath is really help., she gain good weight so far and her length is 20 1/2 inch she is already outgrow her newborn onesis, boy..I am so glad for that.
