ok so i caught up

wow so many babes sharing xen's b-day whoop whoop

mrs s - u will be fine and tomorrow u wil be a child richer

girls - please remember I have had natural already so that is what i base my c-sec experience on if it worked for u I am so happy as it is a birth and should be special

the only reason i hated it was because i already experienced the way i liked and felt was what i thought a birth should be

as far as not connecting with baby as it was my 2nd i wasnt worried i knew it would come

ok so few more mummies waiting - soooooooo exciting

so many born have to get pics up so we can start ooing and aahing

so any hiccups so far? u lot adjustig to sleep? breastfeeding? bathing?

I am so glad I am in swing of things as i havent slept in 2 yrs its not effecting me LOL and since i breastfed before its easy luckily again

xen is easy bather too which makes nice change

no cramps so far SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEE what a relief

it is pure bliss for now 4 days in having a babe that sleeps so much and since i had c-sec brett has to do heavy lifting with lea so luckily no more of that for now

ok so hope u all go well and keep us updated

Nelria- I am so glad that you are enjoying your LB. Several of my friends have said the same about bonding after a c-section. And this was with their first baba's.

I haven't been feeling great this weekend. Feel like a horse kickind me in my vagina. And have also lost my appetite (force myself to eat just for baby) and am nar.

Hope everyne had a great weekend. WOW how was that game on Friday. I know nothing about soccer but soooo enjoyed watching Bafana.

Hello mummies!!!

All is well in mummy land for me

so on wed. I had my c-sec and it sucked, hurt like hell, scared me shitless and just in general was crappy - but only due to me so not wanting it - ok so that is my bitch over

Xen is georgeous he arrived 8.25 weighing 3.02kg have almost no hair, 50cm and got apgar 9/10 - he didnt need any assistance and was healthy and could lie with me and with daddy

but due to it being c-sec and my frame of mind I didnt enjoy his birth and felt quite detached from him, he could have been any baby and he looked funny and ugly, it took me 2 days to get over the eary feeling of him not being mine - where i went through motions of breastfeeding when they brought him in other than that he stayed in nursery and i watched tv and was in pain

daddy off course had the AHA moment and he felt even more bonded than he did with lea due to her being on machines so i guess its different for everybody

anyway its all over now I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY BOY he is so cute, georgeous, looks like a little chicken and i call him my speenvarkie as he sucks like a electrolux so feeding is a dream.

he came home yesterday and lea took to him immediatly she shares all her toys, makes him suck her finger, watches him bath and cries if i take him away

funny thing is I am not allowed to handle him she wants brett to take her and him both LOL

but today she seemed more chilled - the breastfeeding still upsets her but i have new toys so when i start i give her blocks and she then plays while i feed - she wants him to play with her (my baba)

last night both where in bed by 7.20 and he slept till 7 waking 4x for eating but going back to sleep immediatly by himself in his cot

lea slept through and woke at 5 - her daddy got up with her then

ok so far so good - i leave him alone all the time (learned from lea) so he is quickly learning to sleep by himself

daddy is very proud and so is mummy we are both smitten and I am getting lots of help as brett is handling everything

ok myhouse is like tornado, washing out the door and in serious need of vacuum but that is nothing compared to having happy babes and i prefer bretts help with them to cleaning

missed u lots and will post pics but most would hve seen him on fb

congrats mistq! Your birth story is beautiful - you make me teary!

Sorry Sandra about c-sec. But at least you have time to prepare and get used to that idea.

wow Juandre - good luck! ps I agree on the pain and fear - i feel so much less pain cos i went in with good 'no fear' vibes!

wanted to chat more but my bp really high so im going to rest now.

I am sooo in love... with my husband, with our babies and with my 5yr old son! It's truly amazing!!! The twins are gorgeous! Unfortunately can't post photos from my phone.

I got home from hospital at 11 this morning! Hubby went to rent me an electric breastpump for a month... Hopefully by then our babies will be home.

Life is great!!!

May all you other ladies still pregnant experience the same amazing love with your newborns! Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancies! X
