Just that! I’ve heard all the terrible ones, any good ones?

My DS is the easiest child going.

Slept through since birth. Never went through any sleep regressions.
Easy going child. Didn't cry to be picked up and would happily be entertained by the TV whilst I did dinner.
Teething was an absolute breeze. Didn't cry once just tugged on his cheek. Would cut two at once so they felt like they come through quicker.

He's 3 now. Still sleeps through and happy to entertain himself and go with the flow.

Hoping these twins follow their brothers lead!

DD was born within 4 hrs of first twinge with only gas and no stitches needed . She was a bit colicky and fussy but tolerable.
DS was a 42.5 weaker c section as was a surprise breech ( so a bit dramatic ) but I was eating pub lunch 4 days later and had stopped bleeding so not all bad. He was an absolute star though and would down a bottle , fart and sleep for 4 hrs from day one . Hes a stubborn and obnoxious 5 yr old though so I’m getting payback now .

I've been told I must've made a good fairy happy, because my daughter has been a dream from day 0.

Easy pregnancy, full labour and delivery over in an hour (she literally shot out) with no tearing or lasting damage, easiest baby in the world - excellent sleeper, wide-eyed and engaged with very little fussing or crying 90% of the time, no colic, easy to breastfeed, took to a bottle with ease, weaned easily, no real dramas. Baby stage felt gone in a heartbeat, and the biggest theatre during the time was the weird fascination with eyes she got at about 8 months. It involved lots of poking.

She's been an absolute joy to raise. She's 15 now and she's just brought me, unprompted, a cup of tea and some biscuits that she and her friend have made. She cleaned the kitchen after herself and everything. Madness.

Second Baby was planned c section. First on the theatre list, section went well with no sickness, baby in arms and tea and toast an hour later. Uncomplicated recovery.

baby was prefect (so perfect sometimes I well up when I see baby pics) calm, sleepy, just wanted mummy cuddles all day long. No colic, put loads of weight on with no fuss. Blissful time in my life
good luck!
