Hi All
Neptune: Sending positive birth thoughts your way and hope your little boy arrives safe and sound.
Everyone else a big
from Tara.
Well we are home now and after one night daddy is already struggling with broken sleep. I think we go about 5 hours last night, but my adrenaline is still pumping along so I'm feeling fine. Have done 2 loads of washing and prepared the next 3 feeds for Tara as well. It is a bit of extra work having to express every 3-4 hours to get my milk in and also make up formula topup's for her, so there is the bottle preparation and steralising etc, but I think I've got a routine going. I'm also happy as it seems my milk might be coming in early (we thought it would take a while as my iron levels are so low that this delays milk production). When I was pumping this morning my other breast started to leak, so good news. Apart from that Tara is thriving, from her birth weight of 3200g, she went down to 2960g on day 3 and at her discharge yesterday she was back up to 3060g. SO last remaining thing is that we have to take her back to the hossy on Tuesday for a Renal Ultrasound (I have renal problems that run in my family) just to check her kidney's are all o.k and then we should be all good.
I'm sorry to post such a me post, but just wanted to keep up to date with you all. I suppose it is now my time to graduate into the parenting forums, but it is so nice to know that Neptune will be joining me either todat or tomorrow and Murph will be there at the end of the month. What a fabulous few weeks in here
