oscaroscar, yep we'll be teaching her about all religions, I think thats important, but we'll skip the parts we don't like
LOL kidding, I'll be asking friends/family to help with that. Bit like godparents I suppose, only she'll have lots, to help her to learn about all different religions. Though there is a bit of truth to skipping the bits we don't like... more like skipping the bits that aren't relevant to modern society. Plenty of time for her to learn the oldfashioned bits later when she's an adult...

No offence to anyone of course...

Bath, oooo tricky one. I'm not really sure how to answer except to say that I have felt vulnerable in the past year. As the birth mum I would have loved to just be able to enjoy my babymoon after the birth. Shel had 6 weeks off but when it comes to running the house she can be really clueless, so while I had her home, I didn't really have a time where it was just me looking after Jazz and the rest of the world could wait (except for the 3 nights in hospital).
In that respect... I am resentful that I didn't get that time. Shel didn't have a strong protecter 'instinct' IYKWIM, her 'nurturing mum' side came out to Jazz, and I felt like I was completely unprotected. She didn't understand my need to just cocoon myself, to heal and bond after the c/s, she didn't go through that and she wasn't physically affected so it didn't occur to her that I needed shielding and protecting. I felt I couldn't say it either because she wanted to bond and ... so yeah I guess I am resentful that she didn't understand at all after the birth.

Did I answer that better? LOL
