Akeesha - those website things are harder to manage than they look.. I am so hopeless at things like that!!

I am going to take a few more photos of Allegra this afternoon after her 5.30 feed and post them up one mine. I love showing off my little darling.

I went to a breastfeeding clinic this morning which was great. When I was in hospital there was so much help around that I got really confused about the whole attaching to the breast thing and felt a little lost when we came home on Saturday. I feel a million times better after just an hour and a half of this mornings session than I did the whole time at the hospital.

As Allegra had a low birth weight and was a little early she is still a bit sleepy and during feeding when she would fall asleep I would simply put her to bed. She would wake up 3 hours later starving the poor thing but thanks to the wonderful help this morning, we are getting past these early problems and she just fed on both breasts and almost totally emptied them... I am just so proud of her efforts!!

Sorry to all those who didnt have the birth they ideally wanted. It must be difficult to deal with having something that you were not prepared for. I guess we were lucky as we were expecting a c/s all along (scheduled for feb 3) but nothing prepared us wheb my water broke on the afternoon of the 22nd January! I hadnt even done any classes, only the c/s classes offered by the hospital.

As to me, I think I stayed in hospital too long. I wanted to leave on Friday (allegra was born late Sunday night) but she had to be admitted into the special care nursery because she turned blue twice during feeding and they asked me to stay an extra day so they could observe her. Thankfully no problems since we have been home!

I really want to try on some of my pre-pregnancy clothes but I dont want to upset myself if they dont fit! Most of my things were really fitted and corporate for work so I am hoping at least some of my more casual things will be ok soon.. everyone here sounds like they are doing great though.. I hope this is th ecase for me too!

OK ive rattled on enough.. have some washing to do now.. ahhh the tasks of a new mumma are endless.
