sterla :thats an effort! glad to see oli's putting on the waight! have you been told that if you find the nipple sheald is slipping off to use lansnoh? (its in a purple tube) it helps HEAPS the LC told me that today...and no slipping sheald! (plus it helps if you have dry nipples too!)
Moose: woo thats fantasic your little sammy is gaining too! every ones bubs are getting bigger!
MelanieKate: oo i'll be interested to see how your man goes, what kind of car are you getting?
AFM: went to the LC today. he DOES have a postior toung tie, but its not as bad as the last LC told megot a smaller nipple sheald aaaaaaaaand darren got waighed...and guess what?
yesterday he put on 80g in a week yeah?... well 24 hrs later..ANOTHER 100g!! yes, myself and the LC checked on THREE scales..and 100g as been put on...after a poo and three piddles! i almost cried i was so happy! she told me that witht he sheald that he feeds longer/more often and to express after each feed to help the milk supply and so i can freeze some if i need/want a brake its there for DH or some one to feed. she told me i've done the hard yards and that i was RIGHT to listen to what darren wanted, even if its not 'normal' but im SOO happy. i go back saterday to check its not a fluke...but...this lady was fantastic and supported me in my ideas. we even tired to feed laying down, but darren gets freaked out by thatmy boobs dont feel the same when im laying down!
i'm off to do some celabratory landry!
.
We should be able buy a house this year some time! It will be so good to get out of renting! After we left that appointment I realised that my left breast had been leaking and had somehow soaked through the nursing pad, my bra and the top I was wearing! So, there I was in the middle of the city with a big wet patch on my boob,,, so embarrassing! We found my mum and Oliver, and Oliver was ready for a feed, so I did my first public breastfeed (sort of) in a mothers room. Another mum came in with her 7 week old son. We chatted a bit... she expresses and then feeds her bub. I'm a bit self-conscious about the fact that I use nipple shields, so seeing another mum feeding in her own way made me feel good - made me realise that we just all do what's best for us and our bubs, whatever that may be.
) on BB! Today has been my first full day home alone with Oliver. Because I had a c/s I've had DH home to help out (started off full days, then half days), and my mum took last week off to help out too - but today was just Oliver and me, and I think we did okay 
Wow with the 8 hour sleeps!!! I haven't slept 8 hours since - well, I can't remember actually! Probably since sometime earlier in my pregnancy before my bladder became non-existent! Sammy must be such a good sleeper 
but this GP we're going to is known as "Dr Snip-it" as it cuts toung ties and versecimys i had my 6 week check up today and im doing good! my doctor told me i'd lost waight and i said "you only saw me Once before i got pregers...so you dont know what i look like when im not!" darren has also found out how to 'talk' or rather go "dawwwwwww" or "raaaaw" or some times "nah--nah..nooooo" (which i swear is him saying 'no' ) Ohh and he takes after his daddy - his farts are well timed - always whilest sitting on my knee and his burps always when im face to face with him! Ohh and if any one is worried about their milk supply try drinking RLT i was..i had one cup last night and this moring after i fed darren i got 50ml from one side (the second side offerd) plus leak-age from the other side!
