Firstly congrats Shez on your excellent beta results, and welcome to this forum! How exciting for you, though I completely understand being reticent about the whole thing. It's no consolation, I'm sure, but all of us felt the same way. I think most of us right up til the birth!
Keen, hoping to see you here too soon.
Trish, yay on getting to double digits! I can't believe how quickly everyone's pgs are going, though I'm sure it doesn't feel like it from where you're standing.
Shazz, Ryan is such a gorgeous little man. I hope you're enjoying him!
As for me, I am still BFing. Remember when I said I think I'd turned a corner? Well, I must have, coz it's getting better now. Also had the Child Health Nurse weigh Charlie at 10 days, and not only had he put on the 260g he'd lost the first 3 days, but another 270g on top! So all in all, over 1/2 a kilo in 7 days. I figure I can't be doing too much wrong with the BFing, soo decided to persevere. The cracked nipples are healing, so it's got to get easier from here.
Also I think I have managed to get Charlie to sleep at night, and be wakeful during the day. Getting 3-4 hour blocks of sleep most nights now, which is great (phew) but then all day, he's pretty much awake. It means I don't get much done, but oh well, life's like that!
Looking forward to the scans for Skye and Magic in a few weeks! Skye, I can't believe you're going to keep it a secret! As for me, I think, Trish, you asked if I had any idea I was having a boy. No, absolutely none. In fact, Karl and I talked about it the day after Charlie was born and we both admitted to thinking it was definitely going to be a girl. Shows you how much we knew! Lol!
Hello everyone else! Hope everyone is travelling along great guns!
love
