Damprye - Tell me about it..... I've written out my formal complaint and it's veeeeery lengthy. I haven't even gotten my file from the hospital yet, so I'm sure there'll be more to add that I'd forgotten about in my drugged haze. I think the way you feel about giving birth again etc is pretty normal. I'm sure we all feel that way. Right now I couldn't imagine ever having another child for fear of dropping dead next time.
Ferrals - Argh, poor little Ella... I hope you're all feeling better and getting more sleep soon! It seems strange to hear such an experienced mummy such as yourself saying your baby crying was stressful. Not that you shouldn't be stressed by that, hell... I sure am at times lol. I just had this image of you more experienced ladies juggling your babies with one arm tied behind your back... always smiling and serene, no matter how much the baby cried. Maybe that's why I felt like I was doing so badly at this motherhood thing, when I was crying and yelling shut up and wanting to run away and hide at times. I will admit the length of my evening showers has increased dramatically lol. Even when I'm finished I just stand there enjoying being alone for a minute. As for Axel, he had 4 good nights in a row, follwed up by 1 iffy night, and an absolute shocker last night. Poor DP couldn't settle him for hours. I ended up popping him in the sling and sleeping semi-sitting up. Works every time. I just really don't want to sleep with my baby strapped onto my chest, but if it's working, and he's quiet then so be it I suppose! He's also started to vomit after every feed. Sometimes just a little, other times he'll do it a few times and quite a big amount (IMO). I'm not worried yet, I know babies chuck fairly often..... but geez I was enjoying having the baby who would burp after a feed and NOT spray my outfit with white.
Possum Magic - He loves to pose like that lol. I also catch him doing 'the thinker' a lot. Very cute. I like your philosophy on the second birth. Look at your ticker go!
AFM - Nothing exciting to report. I miss Reet, lol. Agh, better go...... I think I hear someone calling me. 'WAAAAAHH!' lol.
