Ahh ladies, I'm so sorry I will never catch up in here, it seems!!!

I just want to congratulate those who have also met their babies, and those who are going to those early and sometimes scary u/s appts.

AFM- I officially have milk. ouch. It just seems to want to pour out constantly and my boobs are huge lol. Axel had his first really unsettled day with us today. It was hard. We're exhausted but we got through it together. This might sound stupid but ever since what happened to me in hospital (promise i will explain this properly one day before Axel's 18th bday lol), DP and I just have this new level of bondedness. He's been so amazing, even sitting on the floir in front of me expressing milk because I was too tired to do it myself. He'll get up out of bed at night just to help me up. He's put my clothes on me, bathed me, done everything plus more. Tonight I was tired so he told me to go and get ready for a nap. I jumped in the shower and when I came out, the bedroom was all dark, a fortress of pilliws was set up jyst perfectly, and he even had some aromatherapy going. I nearly cried. Then he tucked me in and spent the next 2hours wrestling with a screaming unsettled baby.

Everyone says a new baby will strain even a strong relationship. But I feel like Axel has bonded us more strongly than anything, and we each have a new respect and understanding if eachother's strengths.
