Just popping in to see how everyone is! I am reluctant to say, but I THINK we have a little routine going- don't want to get too excited, but the last week has been pretty good- amelie has been having a feed around 9 or 10pm, then one more during the night and this is the good bit- we're back in bed 1-1.5 hours later! Her awake time now seems to have swapped to during the late afternoon. It is just fabulous - I hope we can keep this up! I didn'y know whether to believe in the magic 6 week mark (everyone tells me things will be more settled by then), but now I'm thinking they're right! Fingers crossed that we can keep this up.
Have been out a few times to the shops - still haven't breastfed in public - I'm not sure how we'd go- feeding is a pretty messy occasion for us - both with Amelie deciding to either vomit or carry on and my boobs that either spray or leak all over me if she stops to catch her breath!
We have a 30th birthday this afternoon- Amelie is coming with us. It is at a house, so we'll be fine, but I'm still a bit nervous about having to feed there. May decide to go out to the car.
Amelie is still stacking on the weight, we have no problems there- she is now 5.2kg! We had a midwife visit on Thursday which confirmed that everything is going well. I forgot to get someone to look at my c-section scar, though. Will have to remember this week. We have our last midwife appointment this week, but I can't remember whether she said Thursday or Friday - LOL I would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on - can't blame preggy brain now can I?! We also have our 6 week GP check up on Friday afternoon and then hopefully I will be given the all clear to drive- hallelujah!!
Well, it was great reading all of your posts- far too many to respond to, but I am thinking of you all!
