Finally I have made it back to the bellybelly site. Obviosuly I don't have the internet at home, but even when I get to a computer I havn't been able to get onto the site. So frustrating!
I have tried catching up as much as I can with you all, but I have clearly missed a heck of alot.
So, overall I have been blessed with an extremely placid, non-crying playful baby who makes me smile every single day. In regards to BF, I only managed to BF for two weeks before having to switch to formula. Not only were my boobs bleeding for the whole two weeks but they became infected and I was crying everytime I got Caiden attached. The pain was indescriable. Give me labour pain anyday over that! I also didnt like the idea of him sucking on infected nipples! YUK! So I know two weeks doesnt seem all that long but it felt like forever so I had to make the switch. He is a very happy formula baby, feeding generally every four hours during the day and sleeping 7hrs at his longest which is fantastic! (In regards to the gals talking about formula, we have Caiden on S-26 Gold and havnt had any probs-althought I know every bub is different!)
He very very rarely cries and has only had 2 really big tantrums due to being overtired-too many visitors!! Although I do admit I dont give him much of a chance to, as soon as I hear those hungry noises or his sucking his fist a bottle goes in.
So I can't believe its been 7 weeks almost since he was born! His not a newborn anymore but practically a little boy sniff sniff! He is ALL smiles this week smiling everytime he wakes up and I go get him or after feeds he just smiles smiles smiles! He is also starting to make talking sounds which is a lot of fun! Sigh..I could talk all day about him hehe..couldnt we all!!
I really hate not sharing this journey with you guys and still intend on getting the net at home asap. I am at my parents this week as my dp has caught the nasty gastro bug that has hit sydney and we had to get Caiden away as it has already killed a few babies! But dp is much better now and Caiden and I both escaped the bug thank god!
I'll be on as much as I can until I head back home. I am just about to finish my birth story so I will post it a little later.
All your beautiful babies and so precious! Love all the photos!
