She's here!

Still trying to get our shit together here...(and I was resisting the forced conversion to the new Blogger.)

On Saturday, March 3rd at 6:50pm, M-------- K--- O------ was born at home. (Yeah, sorry, that's as close to her full name as you'll get.) She weighed 7lbs even. She had some problems breathing, but is doing fine now. Big brother LC has been very gentle with his new sister. (I won't talk about the rest of his behaviour. Let's say he's been challenging, shall we?)

She's 18 days old. She's very beautiful. The birth was a pretty amazing experience. The breastfeeding? Sucks - or rather doesn't. We are having very much the same problems that I had with LC. But we got through it with LC, and will do it with Miss M too.

So far am managing to keep PPD at bay, but it's too early to say I'm out of the woods yet. Still have lots of risk factors, yada, yada.

More later. Must go pump (f'n pump) and then cup feed, then hopefully a few hours sleep before we do it again...and again...and again.

Did I mention she's beautiful? Yeah.
