A Tale of Two Babies
Can you guess which one is which? Maya is the yellow one and babe yet un-named (BYUN) is the white one.
Physically, they seem to have the same nose, Maya is blessed with Luke's Bum where as BYUN has mine. Both their hair at birth is light brown and straight. BYUN has a much larger mouth. BYUN seems to sleep more and is generally more mellow. Maya has a vagina where as BYUN has a Penis.
I gained approximately the same amount of weight. Both where very normal pregnancies. Both delivery's got scary at the end. Maya had a compound presentation of both hands at the face. BYUN had the cord wrapped around his neck twice requiring emergent action on the part of the midwifes. The ambulance was almost called for both delivery's. With Maya the placenta delivery was extremely delayed and with BYUM his heart rate was dropping dramatically low. Episodomey for Maya Minor tears for BYUM. Labour total for Maya was 13hours 13min. Length for BYUN was 2hours 40min. As per the midwifes calculations.
Breastfeeding is incredibly easy with the second child. His latch seems to be better then Mayas ever was. Maya was on the breast constantly from birth, where as this child actually has periods where he dose not want to nurse. Amazing. Both want to be held be that is very normal and expected.
Maya was born at 38 weeks. BYUN had an additional four weeks to grow inutero yet amazingly their measurements are remarkably similar.
