Just popping on to say hey!!!!
Congrats FB on your BFP!!
Good luck teeny and emzy regarding scans!!
Happy 1st Birthday JJ!!!
I did read but am soooo forgetful sorry!!
Pippa and Kimi are both doing fabulous...
Kimi is an amazing older sister... she keeps rubbing Pippa's back and saying awwwww then giving her a cuddle....its very cute!!!
Breastfeeding is still challenging.... the MW thinks Pippa must have swallowed some fluid at birth and this is why she is not very hungry and quite sleepy!!!
I'm still sooo sore from my labour

feels like I'm pouring acid over my bits when I go for a wee (sorry TMI!!)
My labour was fantastic!! It all started on Kimi's birthday... I woke up with the WORST backache ever but was DETERMINED to get through the day without moaning too much and even managed NOT to slap my IGNORANT mil round the face (will update you as to why later)...then on Sunday at 4.30am,, I suddenly woke up to a gush of fluid....called my mum downstairs, who told me that it could've been my waters but as I wasn't in pain to go to sleep....
By 5.30am, i started having contractions thick and fast...every 4 minutes lasting 40 seconds or so.... then by 6am, I was throwing up and could barely stand up so Mum phoned the hospital who told her to bring me in....
By now, my contractions were every 2 minutes and I was begging for g&a.... we got to hospital by 6.30am.... took me 15 minutes to get onto labour ward as every 3 steps i ended up having another contraction...got examined and I was 10cm and ready to push!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was terrified but my MW's were brilliant and encouraged me the entire time...there was 4 of them there and then suddenly at 7.30am, my MW with Kimi came in the room and said...Vik, I told you I'm gonna deliver this baby!!! Finally, with 2 big pushes, out came this tiny little fragile baby who was immediatly put straight into my arms, weighing a petite 7lb 6oz!!!
I didn't tear or cut but have a few deep grazes...I done all of my labour on g&a alone and didnt cut... I was chuffed!!! She is just perfect and has slotted in our family just right!!!
Oh back to my MIL!! She's very lucky that any of us are still talking to her....
On Kimi's birthday, we was all sitting in the living room overlooking the kids play when suddenly she commented on my niece, Dayna in front of everyone!!! She said to my brother ' what on earth is wrong with your daughter? Her legs are funny and she has deep purple shadows under her eyes? That poor baby is seriously ill and have you seen anyone about it? She needs to be seen ASAP!!'
My brother was mortified and extremely embarrassed....my mum took MIL to one side and gave her what for and she left pretty soon after that!!! She still hasnt seen Pippa and tbh, I dont think I want her too!!!
Here is a picture of Pippa for those who havent seen her....
Hope everyone is okay!!!
