tasha , do what you need to do till you feel confident enoguh to go out ... i went shopping when nix was 5 days old , literally on day 5 we left the hosp and went shopping ... and with gabriella i left hosp when she was 12hrs old and went home had a shower and went to the shops the lady at the newsagency was astonished when asked "when was she born " and my reply was .. "oh about 11:30 last night " hehe

but taking her out to "train her to cope wih outings" probably wont help and make her more unsettled ... all the artificial sunlight and noise of the shops can over stimulate and make them fussy ... do you wear lucy ?? a good sling for her will keep her a bit more settled ...

nix was the same , never slept while we were out but was never fusst .... and now Gab is the same as lucy , gets unsettled when we go out for too long and wants boob alot ..

well speaking of my boobs .. the evil mastitis fariy has visited BOTH boobs .. both are soo tender and sore , i am feeling really fluyey and am reall cold and tired ... and nix is sick as well so tending to him wanting "up" and gab want ing boob , i just feel like a zombie .. luckily DH just got home ( and i will give him a cuddle , when i get up eventually ) and is going to take me to the chemist , because if anything good came from the visit with the estranged LC the other day it was a script for AB if i got mastitis ...


booked nix in to day care for one day a weel today the lady is a friend of one of my good friends and the centre is very new and hardly any kids so i know and felt confident he will get cared for ....

Gabriella smiled today .. it s was beautiful ..

milly did you hear the news about your frined ??
