Hello.
I haven't been on much, I rarely get time to myself and if I do I usually try and sleep. Otherwise I come on here but can't seem to think of anything to say, but I will give it a go today. It will probably be a big whinge though.
Logan and I flew to Sydney on Thursday and we're now at my Mum's house near Gosford on the Central Coast. It's so hot here, and humid! At least in Mudgee the heat was dry so it didn't seem so bad. Plus MIL had a nice AC in the loungeroom. The AC at Mums house is at the end of the hallway and doesn't seem to do anything except cool down the hallway a little, but doesn't help any of the rooms. At least the pets like it though, they lay all up the hallway so they're cool. I swear the AC is almost as old as I am. I am being such a whinger today. I'm really wishing I hadn't moved here and everything is getting me down. I'm so sick of moving and I wish that there was some chance DF and I will be able to own a house some time in the future, but it looks like we may just have to rent forever
My breasts are so sore, there is shooting pain going through them and feed time makes me want to cry (and some times I do) because my nipples hurt so bad. The Midwife that saw me on Wednesday said Logan is biting my nipples because I had been expressing and giving him bottles sometimes and he's confused about what he's supposed to do. She showed me a way that is supposed to make him open his mouth more, but I guess nobody told him that because he won't do it. If I manage to put as much of my nipple in as I'm supposed to, he refuses to feed. I feel like I have ruined it all. We did so well in hospital and now it's all just horrible. The good thing is he gained 320gms in a week, the midwife said he's thriving and is a very bright, alert and strong little baby. She called me a Jersey Cow though because my milk flows so quickly. I think that is also why he's biting me, because the flow is too fast for him (even when I try and express before a feed to try and slow the flow like I had read some where). He pushes my nipple out a bit with his tongue and bites the end, my nipples have gone purple.
So yeah, everyhing is getting me down. But as much as I whinge, I still feel that Logan is so amazing and I love him so much.
Sorry for whinging so much, I hope things are going better for everyone and all the best for the new year
