Having a bit of a teary morning, just overtired and exhausted, had bad night, if Em doesn't poo every nappy then she gets very upset and tummy pains, so she didn't poo for 3 nappies and spent alot night crying then of course at 8am does giant poo and has slept really well while I had to get up and start the day! I know things get better but so over the constant feeding settling at the moment, feels like most of the day is taken up by it and poor Ash always has to wait to get seen to.
Ali- Its hard when partners aren't around you feel like your doing it all alone and worry about them missing out. I wish there was some way around it for you.
Tarkine- Just take each day at a time. I think they lost my order too! Hopefully you find something that will work to help settle him more, just try everything, you never know what will end up helping.
Ali - sorry your DP isn't there more. There's no other substitute really is there? I am dreading when my DP goes back to work but at least he'll be around in the evenings when Mr. J is at his more ferral.
Tarkine - at your lost order! I am kind of happy with my order but he is damaging the mother hardware a little atm! I didn't get much info on c-section aftercare at hossy either - basically one middy saying "you know what you can't do don't you? no driving, lifting, reaching above your head, bending or twisting". I was like - that pretty much covers everything doesn't it? Apparently we should be doing exercises as well - esp. pelvic floor ones which I didn't know until the other day.
Shell - I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight darl! Sleep deprivation is the worst.
AJP - Hey! whoohoo for eating dinner in peace. Still getting it organised here tonight! I found a zit on my forehead today too. Was very unhappy because I think I already have enough skin dramas going on without acne too!
Nai - thanks for that. I never thought about the insurance angle or braking thing. We've recently bought a new car and I hardly drove it before having Mr. J so will definitely wait until I'm all healed before getting behind the wheel. Yay on only having a week to go! That's awesome.
AFM - Has been a really full on day here and I feel a bit overwhelmed. Been teary a few times. Had friends drop round which was nice but chaotic as they have their own kids and Mr. J was unsettled. I have started expressing the left side this afternoon. The "ringbark" only seems to be healing on one side of that nipple and the other side was getting better but is back to being really painful most feeds, especially when he fusses which he tends to do on the left. There are now little red spots in the opening so it's time to rest it for a day and see what happens.
Just feels like there's one thing after another right now. Mr. J and I have thrush (which I never had before) so I have rash cream and nipple gel and he has bum cream and oral liquid stuff and it all needs to go on or in 4 times a day so between feeding him, feeding me, applying all the creams and gels and now expressing it's all a bit much. Really needed to get out of the house this afternoon for a walk but then the friends dropped in and as they left Mr. J needed a feed and then I had to express and then it was dark! Maybe tomorrow.........
Seems like we've all had busy days today. Not many posts. I hope you're all doing ok girls! This can't last forever.
Kaz- sounds like the day for much needed hugs! I hope you get out of the house tomor, will do you good, its amazing tho how quickly the day can go sometimes, esp with all those extra things you need to do!
AJP- Yay on peaceful dinner, whats that? Lol.
Got our 4 weeks MCHN appt tomor, Em looks fatter to me so we'll see her weight gain.
Started her bedtime routine tonight in hopes it'll get her to sleep better, including a nice lavender massage.
