We moved almost 4 weeks ago! :D :D So glad thats all over lol, still got some boxes to unpack and i better get baby stuff sorted as I have already been contracting and stuff :wacko: x
 
Yes they're here! At 36 weeks I begged my dr to induce me, but he said no. Luckily I went into labour on my own 3 days later - Jan 16. It was a really smooth birth and the girls are doing awesome. Bfing like champs (as I type this actually) and gaining lots of weight. They started out at 5lbs14oz and 5lbs8oz and are both 6 1/2lbs now!

Juggling my 2 year old son has been the biggest challenge and I'm nervous aboutweaning him off day are and having all three on my own all day every day.

Life is busy with three kids lol! The girls are almost 4 weeks old and Andrew is finally starting to adjust to having his sisters around. I'm doing well, but would LOVE to sleep for more than 2 hours in a row :sleep:

I think your amazing caring for 2 babies & a young 'un :thumbup:

How do you manage in the daytime, when say....they all want something at the same time :wacko:
 
I've had a lot of help, so so far I haven't had to have all three on my own for very long periods of time. But in general, I deal with whoever's need is most pressing. Andrew often is the one who has to wait, but not always. If I'm in the middle of cleaning him up after eating or changing his diaper the babies have to wait. And sometimes I have no choice but to let one baby cry while I change the other one's diaper. Overall it hasn't been as chaotic as it could be though.

Hi Girls :flower: No time/or energy to read back

My 4th csection was a complicated one, firstly the spinal took ages to get right & I had shooting pains to my foot which scared the hell out of me!

Then they opened me up & found that my uterus was already open, my old scar had split inside me & the only thing holding LO in was her amniotic sac! :shock: My bladder was also 'stuck' to my old scar tissue!......Obviously they didnt tell me until after the op, but I knew something was wrong, as it took sooooo long

Im in alot of pain (my worst csection of them all) & I am suffering with spinal headaches/visual disturbances & numbess :cry:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But the fantastic news is.....

We are very happy to announce the safe arrival of

Ooops, didnt think I may scare people with that :dohh:

But......Im pretty sure it was because this was my 4th csection, so much old scar tissue, in fact, they had to cut that all away too!
 
Wow that IS scary!! I'm glad you're ok! Were you told not to have any more kids after this?

Yes, the surgeons came & told me NOT to have any more

They said the risk would be bleeding to death or losing my bladder!

Thank the Lord I am blessed with 4 lovely Children :cloud9:
 
Yea I was terrified going into theatre I was offered a general to go to sleep (but I declined lol) I prob would have run away if I'd read that 1st, u poor thing! I'm glad you r ok, and I hope u don't take too long to recover!

I'm hoping to go home tomorrow but now they have found a red patch by my wound so have drawn around it to see if it grows I hope it's not an infection I wanna go home
