Evening Mums and Bubs!!

So Nakita is "Due" tomorrow I can't believe it!! It is very weird Kiwigirl, she has really started to fill out now and has cute cheeks, her bum is even starting to fill out - it was just a mass of creased skin!!

Welcome Katti How big was Shane when he was born? I will have to try the 0000 wondersuits they might fit her, but yeah will be in the 00000 for a while yet, some are still too big!

I hear you with the happy baby = happy mummy!!

I have been expressing the whole time, my electric pump is my second best friend!! I would be lost without it. I usually just pump what is "left" if I and feeling engorged or sore

Mel, I have no idea on how Nakita is going to go with the Pea Pods we have when she actually gets up to weight, we have some others that might be better... will just have to wait and see!

Messy house here too, but we are home tomorrow and if Nakita actually sleeps and doesn't want to be a velcro baby the I might get it cleaned!!

Mountain Mummy I have to say I don't envy your hectic household, I am just keeping up - sort of with Nakita!! I couldn't imagine adding more to that at the moment!!

Sounds like you are recovering really well Leasha! I hope Jazz starts to party during the day time really soon! The BT's suck, I would have been much if she did just the heel *****! She had a lot of BT's in hospital, and we found the best there was a BF then the pathologist would do the heel ***** as she fed - she didn't even notice when we did that, the other times it was terrible, but not as bad as last week!

Eli has done fantastic on a nice small weight loss Kiwigirl, you must have great boobie milk!!

I have lasagne in the freezer but DH can't eat it cos it has tomato in it, I would so just love to heat it up for dinner!!!

You have to have a cry.... Day 9 for me was the day I crashed - big time!! My midwife walked in as I was pumping - which was what I spent most of my time doing - and looked at me and said I needed to cry, and I fell to pieces, she said to me as she was leaving have a good cry in the shower. I was washing all my pump stuff and bawling my eyes out and my OB came in, so she copped it too, but a lot of it was me stressing about having enough milk as I was struggling to keep up with what Nakita needed, so she organised Motilium for me which she had mentioned earlier but I must not have heard her properly!! The after she left Nakita's paediatrician came in and said we could go home.... NO!!!!! I cracked it again!!

But it was the best for me, my MW came back that night to check on me, she and my OB were worried and had caught up during the day, but I was much better that night! The first time I left the hospital and went home for 1/2 hour without Nakita was terrible I just wandered our house aimlessly collecting random items with tears pouring down my face - poor DH didn't know what to do as I didn't want help!

We get there in the end and it is worth it all!

So I started typing this post early evening Wednesday, now finishing it early morning Thursday, had 3 hours sleep so far, will see what I get after this feed!! Last night was a shocker, I don't think I really slept after her early morning feed, and Nakita wouldn't go down, became over tired would eat properly, at lunch I topped her up with EBM to fill her belly, then she actually went back to her normal feeding pattern, I think she was too exhausted to feed properly earlier. so that when I put her down she will sleep!
I am expressing what is left in my big boob as it is sore and it seems to have a better supply than the right and has been getting sore and lumpy - I think I have a blocked milk duct and if I leave it to the next feed it is gonna hurt like crazy!!

Now that I have finished this post Nakita's Due date is today, so her corrected age will be one day!!
