Just a quick quick one from me.....

HappyMum - congrats on birth of Lachlan!!
Gill - congrats on birth of Ella!!
AJC - yeah attachment problems seem pretty common huh? I was upset i had to express in hossy but then in the end it was the best thing! Milk came in faster and so much more of it and she gained the weight she needed I hope soon we can wean off the nipple shield on L side. Dont like using it. and yeah attaching is very tender but after a few sucks it eases off.... i've been told by MW's that this will be for few weeks until my nipples toughen up...
Runner - hope you made it out of the hossy today as planned and are enjoying being home with your gorgeous Amara and son and DH.

I'm soooooo tired.... averaged about 2hrs sleep a night in hospital except the last night I slept for 6hrs (in between feeds of course!). Amazing how we can survive on such little sleep.... I couldn't sleep for first 3 days in hospital cos' i was just living on adrenalin and so amazed that I'd birthed our baby and she was here with us.... can't stop staring at her.... I get teary so easily. I cried when i walked in the house this morning holding her and DH said "whats wrong?" and I said in between tears "im just sooo happy" hehe I've certainly done ALOT of crying lately.... just so happy. (silly hormones hehe)

xx hope you are all great. I'm off to bed we are so tired. I'll be back online Monday. DH and I have the weekend together and thats it he has to keep working as we have our business to run. Monday i'm probably gonna cry when he leaves for work!!! He's so great with Ava, he is just loving being her Daddy. Holds her heaps, changes her etc. its beautiful watching them together.
