Oh man would you guys stop talking so much I've had to read 6 pages (well, would have, had my mind not gone completely blank while I was reading and I stopped at page 4 )

I did skim though, and read about bad nights. Oh man all I have to say is someone somewhere in the universe has decided I don't need to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. Sometimes they seem to think one hour is plenty of time. I have a (party) animal who thinks waking every hour at night is soooooooo much fun. I had one good night where she went to sleep at 10pm, woke at 2pm, and then stayed asleep until 6am. Best night sleep since she was born. Other nights are awful. Shel helps a little at night but theres not a lot she can do when little miss animal decides she just wants to lay awake against my boob not anywhere else and not even feeding so I send Shel back to sleep, no use us both being zombies during the day. I express so Shel does the afternoon feed while I sleep. Of course, something always happens. Yesterday the cats caught a snake 45 minutes into my nap and Shel bought Jazz into the room. She WAS asleep but her "mummy is trying to relax" radar must have gone off and she started screaming for no reason at all.

I do love being a mum, honest, though these first weeks are more trying and tiring than I imagined. I guess it doesn't matter how many people tell you, for some reason its something I didn't really understand until I experienced it! I sent a message to my mum the other day that said "I love you so much right now" and she understood straight away. I know she did because she sent back "Ah, you're a mum now!". A very bonding moment, I'm glad she's come around i don't know what I'd do without being able to call her every few days and get reassurance that very few people die of lack of sleep.

No sex here either yet. I reckon I'd just fall asleep LOL. Still a bit yucky down there anyway. It's a PITA but thank goodness I am still yucky, as Shel keeps asking each day how its all going *hint hint* and if it had stopped I'd have to lie to her , I think she's surprised I'm still bleeding.

Someone told Shel if you drink too much coffee your milk dries up. So every time I go to have a coffee I get "should you be having that?". I sneak in 2 in the morning, and thats it.

Oh god here she goes. Be back later (hopefully it doesn't take me another week ).
