Hi everyone!
OMG what dramas. I feel like i havent been on for a lifetime. Congrats to you Gaylene, finally we have our little ones.
Congrats to everyone else as well.

Well as you all know Zack was born at 5.08 on the 3rd April. He weighed 8lbs 12ounces. 55cm long and 38cm head circumfrence.
I went in at 6.00 pm that night. Had all contractions in my back..It was excruciating!!! Had pethidine, but it didnt touch the sides. After four hours on my knees practically screaming, they checked me and was only 6cm dialated. By 10.30 i had a epi (thank the lord above!!) By three in the mornin, i was finaly ready to start pushing. After two hours of this, he was almost out but just couldnt get him right out, it was then decided that the ventouse cup was needed as his head was a wee bit stuck. So the doc pulled and i pushed, and at 5.08 he was finally here! It was exhausting, and i ended up with a small tear, however all is well now and we are at home.
Feeding has been a mission, and i have terribly cracked and sore nipples. He didnt sleep very much at first, but now we are getting somewhere. Bar from the first night home everything has been lovely! He is just so precious, a long awaited gift!
Will post a piccie as soon as i figure out how to do it, and obviously get some time. Am still feeling quite overwhelmed by this whole motherhood business.

A nice big story for you all to read, thought i needed to catch up a bit
Lots a love
Shar

Hi all, here is the promised photo of Andrew (hopefully)...after all the reading I have just done it is great to know that all our babes have arrived safely. How is everyone doing caring for these wee mights??

oh Heather he is lovely! He looks so peaceful! I just want to snuggle into him

If you use photobucket, resize the pic there and while still in photobucket hit refresh or F5. It took me AGES to find that out

Awww cluck cluck! You March mums sure make some beautiful babies!

Are all the March babes here now? If so I will unsticky your thread so you can all move over to the First Baby board!

Yep Emma they are all here now

Congratulations to all the mummies and bubs in here - that's another month done and dusted!

Gorgy bubbies by the way!!

Hi everyone (who still has a bit of spare time to get on the internet since babies have arrived!) Hope everyone is enjoying motherhood, I love the names everyone has picked for their children and the photos are really cool. My twins are doing pretty good, have started the routine from "the contented babies first year" book and things are definatley easier! I would reconmend the book and would love to hear from anyone that has used it as well for any extra tips.
I have added some pics for you to see

Oh too cute. We're all over in the First Baby? forum. There's a thread for March & April mums. Chat too you in there if you get some spare time!

I'm just reading the new contented baby and hoping to start the routines soon.. the website looks good but you've got to pay gbp60 to get all the info
