Lol, sleep? What's that?;) ATM Katelyn feeds every 2-3 hours, which is not the problem. If I could lie on my side and nurse her and fall asleep whilst doing so, no problem. But (and I don't know about other peoples' babies) then she needs to have a good burp, so it'll take anything from a...

I bought a pump for when I had Benjamin, and I maybe used it once when I tried to express milk and bottle feed it. Benjamin hated the bottle, and whenever I wanted milk for baby cereal etc, I just hand expressed it, which for me worked better than the pump. Oh, and I've only been engorged when...

Lol, we had Benjamin's nursery all painted too, but we never ended up using it! He's still in with us, and so is Katelyn...

Katelyn didn't poop for days as she'd got rid of *all* the meconium in utero...then when she started she'd only do one a day - consequently that one poop was like a torrent, lol, and would go *everywhere*...now she generally does smaller ones two or three times a day. Benjamin used to poop with...

Benjamin was like that...He was ok the first few weeks and then suddenly...bam! I couldn't put him down at *all*. If I did, he'd wake up within two minutes and start screaming. I basically ended up putting him in the sling whenever I had stuff I *had* to get done, and ended up holding him the...

That's awesome Beth!

Oh my goodness!!! I'm so thrilled for you! Congrats...

Yeah, I'm truly blessed that dh was totally on board.:)

Thanks girls! We named her Katelyn Jessica because 1. she looked like a Katelyn, 2. Katelyn means 'pure'... And Jessica means 'God beholds' which is certainly the way we feel about the entire homebirth experience.

So I started having regular contrax at about 1am on the morning of June 12th... Called my midwife, who said to call her back later, and eventually I called her again and she arrived at our house around 7am. By this time we'd filled up the birth pool, but I hadn't got in yet because I didn't...

Awesome that he's doing well! Congrats!

Well everyone, we're doing well, and Katelyn put on a pound in the first week! She's now got little arm and thigh rolls, lol. I spent the first few nights sleeping propped up on four or five pillows with her on my chest, as she wouldn't go down by herself...we've now graduated to her being on...
