percivalFirst of all, apologies to those who wanted an email and didn't get it - there were problems both with my email list and with MS Outlook. I've now switched to Thunderbird and will resend those announcements some time in the next few days.
DS is a great wee boy. He feeds well, goes up to 4 hours between feeds at night, is very alert, and surprisingly similar to his sister. long and slim, nice round read, button nose, slight tongue tie, jaundice that is taking a while to clear, loves being held. he has a very strong startle reflex, so we'll be getting some swaddling blankets today.
DD loves being a big sister. She wants to hold her brother a lot and thinks he's much more fun than her dolls. Long may it continue. I'm trying to give her special time with mummy too.
The birth and the hospital stay went really well. i was second on the list; went into theatre at 12pm, spinal went in at 12.24, adam was born at 12.58, back on the ward by 14.00 in time for first visit by little sister at 3.30. stayed in for four days, home on sunday. I coped quite well in the four-bed room, despite it being quite busy. and, same as last time, I got very weepy for a couple of hours when my milk came in, on the evening of the 21st.

I'm so glad you have been twice blessed with beautiful children. *hugs*

*hugs*

Glad little sister is handling it well. I'll bet she's proves to be a perfect little helper for you.
Happy belated birthday to you too!
