Its a freezing cold day on the gold coast (way too cold to take a baby out and about) so I am stuck in the house. The fridge is getting empty of yummy food so I hope the weather clears up soon.
I feel bad sending the kids to school in such freezing cold weather and I worry that they might get a nasty flu - its been such a cold winter this year. I hope that doesn't mean that summer will be extreme too.
Jordan has been pretty settled however the last few mornings he has woken up a bit earlier than what I would like.
Has everyones bleeding stopped. I still have quite a bit of spotting and it will be 3 weeks on Thursday. My afterbirth pains were not too bad after the birth of Jordan. Infact I think they were quite mild in comparision to the pain with baby number 4. I had regular doses of panadine though - so maybe that did the trick.
Jordan has had conjunctivitis the last few days so I am treating it with breastmilk.
My shoulders are feeling a bit tense and sore from holding Jordan alot on the weekend - I need a massage!
Tracey, Fran & Veronica - I hope your babies have a more settled day today ((( big hugs )).
I have been in my pj's pants all day today. I put on a tshirt with them but they were just so comfortable (and all the other comfortable elastic waist clothes were in the wash).
Well, I better cook dinner - Luv ya all ... xo Dee.
dee i'm 3 weeks friday. and I still have I'd call it a little more than spotting, but I was told it could go for up to 6 weeks, so I'm not worried. I normally have a 6-7 day period, that is really heavy at the start. i think if I compare a normal day to each of the 6 weeks, it's kind of similar if that makes any sense.
Hi everyone...I hope you are all doing well...I'm a bit exhausted for personals, but hope to return tomorrow with some more energy. Just wanted to update you on Alessia's progress. I attended a breastfeeding clinic today and we managed to get her feeding again...it feels different though, I know her attachment is not the same, but she was content enough to have 2 lots of 4 hour sleeps after the feeds. We'll see how we go tonight though.
Alessia has put on just over 200 grams since being discharged from hospital...so she's nearly back at her birth weight which is great. The midwife thought that she may be going through a growth spurt at the moment and my supply of milk may not be fast enough for her needs and that may be why she's fussing on the breast. Only time will tell.
Anyways...back to the old pump and grind *lol* Can't wait to burn this darn breast pump! Take care everyone!
