welcome to the other side Cyn!! I am sure everyone has said this to you, and when people said it to me I wanted to tell them to f*ck of - but it does get better. I think what I was like a week or so ago when we came home from the hospital and what I'm like now it seems more like a year ago - I'm so much more confident and way less teary - I'm used to the night time feeds and hearing Charlie cry doesn't upset me as much as it used to. His quirky noises are hard to get used to - but we're getting there and I'm starting to enjoy him as a little person instead of dealing with him like a job.
Welcome Supa Star - the breastfeeding thing is such a tricky issue - people seem to be so opinionated about it - I say if you're not comfortable with it then Bubs wont be comfortable with it either. My best friend - who doesn't have any children and doesn't look like having any got in a big fight with me when I said I didn't want to BF - she got so so mad at me it was crazy - in the end I just used to tell her I wouldn't do it to get a rise out of her. I changed my mind once Charlie was born - but you should do what's right for you and Jacob.
Cassie - yaay for the solo outing - I don't think I'm ready for that yet - plus I don't know how to get the capsule out of the car - DH always does it!
Fee - 7 hours between feeds!! you're so lucky! I'm lucky to get four and that's on a good day!
Tulip - hope your nether regions are feeling a bit better. How is your mum giving you grief?
Bubs - I've had a bit of a look with a mirror at my downstairs area - thing is I never really looked before so I don't know if anything is all that different - my stitches are still there but all the swelling has gone down. Things seem a little smaller IYKWIM - bit concerned the OB just kept stitching until he used up all the thread he had.......
Hey Boybump - I HATE the mega spews - it makes me panic a little that he has gastro or something - the only thing that I like abou the huge spew is that Charlie falls asleep right afterwards. Bad thing is - my couches now have spew stains, there's spew on the carpet, in the bed and on one wall. It's amazing how happy I am to sink into a bed and fall asleep amid wet patched of vomit, wee and possibly lactated milk....!!!!! my bed used to be my shrine, perfect linen, soft and fluffly wollen underlay - it's all a bit crusty now!
ohmigod Cyn - I just saw the pic of Jensen - he is beautiful!
Happy Friday everyone, probably going to be in bed by 8.30 - had a glass of beer earlier - whoo hooo! bit worried that it will make Charlie sleep for too long though - feel a bit like a crack wh*re mum now.......
