Thanks for the welcome everyone!
Emma, was good to see you today, I hope things start settling down on the formula. Anais has been sleeping much better during the day.....except today. she didn't go to sleep until we got home, and has been pretty horrible until about a half an hour ago. what can you expect when she doesn't sleep all afternoon? she gets so easily distracted.... which doesn't help with the feeding.

Nadine, re: the big bleed, a lot of the nurses attributed it to the fact that i have red hair... i'm not exactly sure why. some say that it was just bad luck, others say that it is likely to happen again. i hope not. the stomach pummeling was not a nice experience. the birth experience wasn't all that bad (thanks to Mr Epidural.... i had 14 hours of contrations to be dilated 1 cm) up until she started coming out. it was all downhill from there. its a pretty long story, but i might tell you about it some other time......

Hope you are all having a good week

talk to you all soon!
