Totally in love with my perfect little family

What can I say I am totally in love with my little family. Things have just been totally different this time around then it was when I had Lachlan.

Lachlan's birth was just so much more traumatic then Charlotte's. With Lachlan I had 17 hours of labour and got ready to push and he became distressed and we needed to get him out quickly so an emergency c-section was our only choice. But for Charlotte things were so totally controlled and from the get go I knew what was going to happen and throughout the whole process I was kept informed.

I think because of the different births and how Charlotte's went, things have been so relaxed and I have been able to cope better and I have no anxiety. Things are just totally perfect.

We weighted Charlotte today and she has put on 300g!! Her weight at discharge from hospital was 2.5kg and today she has come back to birth weight!! I am just so proud of her. We will have an early childhood nurse appointment in the coming days to get her checked out, but I am sure that she will still be perfect.

Lachlan is also still being a perfect big brother. He is always wanting cuddles and kisses with her, which is so beautiful. I was so worried that when we brought Charlotte home that he would be jealous, but he has been totally perfect with her. The only real problem we have had with him is his sleeping and we don't know if that is because Charlotte's in our room in the bassinet so he wants to spend more time with us, or because he has seen his old room change into her room so he feels a bit displaced. We are working with him to get his good sleeping habits back.

Things with DH and I are going really well and I think Charlotte has helped us with that. Those of you have followed my blog would know what happened with DH and I when Lachlan was born and this is a problem we have faced for well over 12 months. DH has made some improvements and has tried to make up for his mistakes and I have a feeling that he has used Charlotte's birth as a new beginning for himself. I am just hoping that this a sign of good things to come.
