We have had an awesome couple of days here so I am feeling nice and relaxed.

Hi everyone,
Grace Awatea* was born on Thursday 23rd August at 9:27pm via cesarean section. (*Awatea means dawn, or day break)
10 points to everyone on our team (Obstetrician, midwives, support person & DH) for doing everything they could to help us have a natural birth - we had a good go at it, but it turns out that my pelvis was not a good fit for our little girl (didn't work for DS either). Feeling happy with the outcome.
Grace has been pretty good so far - latched on very quickly & has had little trouble feeding from day one (I know, it's only day 3!). We came home today, DS was very excited to see us & kept interrupting the BF with kisses for the baby... cute.
So excited about sleeping in my own bed...

Congrats BexD!!!
And you too SoHappy - what a beautiful baby 
Hope you mummys are all enjoying your bundles! Just remember when things get tough that they DO get better and often 24 hours later they are such happy lil babies again. We have had a few rough days through the past few weeks. Alex is a very windy and spilly baby. I find it hard sometimes to differentiate between whether he is hungry or just has wind. But other than that he is doing well and is now over 9lb (born 7lb 13oz). So growing well and a few cm's extra too. He is over 3 weeks old now! Have had a few outings, a couple of grocery shops and today was such a beautiful day we went for a nice stroll around the village with a stop at the cafe for coffee and cake with mum and a friend
Enjoy your bundles of joy.

Thanks Taliez.
Grace was weighed today - she is now 3.66kg (she started at 3.67)! Clever girl.  And our MW said we can leave her to sleep til she wakes up overnight, rather than waking her 4 hourly to feed... awesome! Though actually, my milk supply tends to wake me up around the 4 hour mark anyway, so I'm not sure whether I can sleep longer than that... I injudiciously rolled onto my full side last night & woke up soaked in breastmilk. mmm... 
SoHappy, that is an epic photo of your little one - I love her hair!
How did you load the photo up? I have a GORGEOUS one of DS & Grace..

This picture is what I took of Alex this morning smiling. He has been doing genuine smiles since he was about 10 days old - not windy ones! He has been very windy however but I have used Infacol and he seems so much better now and I am taking some herbals - Gastric Distress so is going through my milk for him.
I was never told to feed at particular times - have been demand feeding since birth. He feeds around 3 hourly mark. Am lucky to get 3 1/2 hours at night - so having 4 hours I think you are lucky BexD!
Hope all you ladies are enjoying your time with your new babies. We still have a few ladies left to have their babies still - so to them: Good luck!!
