Baby girl, 8lbs 12 oz, arrived by elective on thursday morning, what a difference to the emergency section last time. Very calm, they lowered the sheet to show me her coming out of my tummy, skin to skin straight away, and breastfeeding half an hour later. Blimey. Bought a breast pump and everything after difficulties last time but this time she just seemed to latch on and get on with it and milk has now come through. Amazed! She seems very chilled, so at the moment going along with the 'second babies are easier' theory!
Came home today and whole healing process so much easier. Still sitting down and making poor dh do everything though of course. Long may it last...
She is beautiful. [disclaimer - may be a bit biased]
