isaidno - cheers for doing the list so many babies now, we need to get the last few of us across to the other side now
rumpel - 2 thats easy try 3 stroppy little madams, no I remember crying after our first trip out with the two of them in the double buggy with cosytoes and raincovers and everything (it was January and peeing it down) I thought I would never leave the house again. No it does gets a lot better you get in sussed, how goes where and in what order and you learn to take just what you really need out with you.
Oh P&T did arrive last week and it is fab, once we got it all up DD2's head actually does fit right under the hood, I haven't had DD2 in it with B yet but pushing just B in it is a dream, it turns so well doesn't it, have just ordered a cocoon today thought I could get away without one but she just looked too exposed with just a blanket.
pigley - I remember your pram it looks really nice, bet it's lovely pushing a baby in it now is she going to be Abigail or Abbie? My Abigail is Abbie mostly but Abigail quite a bit too I love them both, she's an Abigail Sadie. Keep going with the expressing but offer her the boob first, your doing great.
jodie - yes thank you the sheets arrived today along with an added present of a little spider that had hitched a ride bless it it's going to be on for a shock it's colder up here and it will probably get beaten up by the "hard" Scottish spiders
Minnie - oh I know what you mean I didn't stop today had my first something to eat at 11am and by 2pm I still hadn't done any housework. It's utter chaos isn't it? The DDs were really naughty today as well. I haven't ventured out with all 3 on my own yet either, I do what I did the morning drop the older two off at nursery then take the baby off shopping (wimp)
hubarb - eventful birth story but you got there in the end thats all that matters, it's lovely to hear Dad going gaga over their daughters. Theres nothing more lovely than seeing a man being a true father, I see it every night when the DDs go nuts when Daddy comes home and he cuddles B and tells her hes missed her.
peanut - it's not a first time mum thing people just talk crap about babies I could write a book on the things I have been told, I used to get asked if DD1 and 2 were twins, DD1 is sitting up in the buggy with bunches in her hair talking and DD2 is a tiny baby! or one that anooys me "oh whats his name" when SHE is dressed all in pink. Now I get "oh you have your ahnds full" "when are you trying for a boy" 2oh your poor hubby"
Anyway B is still utterly adorable the spitting image of DD1 as a baby I will have to dig out and try and post 2 pictures of them side by side when I have time, she's more delicate featured and little girl looking that DD2 who was a little chubster bless her. Feeding wise couldn't be better although she is still really fast at feeding, tonight I moved when she was feeding and she let go and wow the let down she was getting so she must be taking in a fair few ozs, loads of poo nappies too. She tends to feed quick from one side then nod off so I wake her with a nappy change bad mummy and then put her on the other side which she takes a little from then goes back to sleep. Maybe she will feed for longer once she is older.
Sleep still all over the place but she is new so will let her off.
Oh I bought a Close sling today (haven't told DP yet!) hope I can get on with it better than the Coory.
