Cee Cee - defintely give the ABA a call! You may get advice that you cannot breastfeed, but if you express plenty (even if you have to hire a pump for the time before and after the op) then you will be able to go back to bf'ing afterwards. Speak to a counsellor to get a better opinion, though
Fathers Day - weird. DP had a chainsaw course and was away overnight and didn't get home till about 7. Oscar and I went to Knox and I got two photos enlarged, one for DP and one for my dad. Got home and caught up in some cleaning and didn't get round to calling MIL (was talking to my GF about how I never see her and she's around the corner - my mum laments that she lives in the country and doesn't get to see her favourite boy...MIL is literally up the road, but was sick last week-unbeknownst to me until last night-and DP says she's a busy lady, as if I didn't already know). Cleared the table, candles lit and tried to feed DP but he was between the computer and dinner. Bit of a grrr, but didn't want to make any issues cos I was trying to gauge if he was thinking about his dad - like pulling teeth when I asked him how he was feeling etc. He was put out that Oscar was grumpy (I would be too if I was full of win, my belly stabbing at me and no words to let mummy know what was wrong and to please fix it!), never mind the fact that I have been with Oscar and his discomfort for 3 whole days (hot springs episode, Saturday night, Sunday morning and then last night). Anyway, I got to talk to my dad, who's coming back from the country today. I spoke to my mum afterwards -had to make two phone calls cos Oscar got upset in between and I called my mum when he fell asleep.
Anyway, I think I'll strap the boy to me and walk to the chemist to get some Infacol. It's worth a try. The poor little monkey has been wriggling all night in his sleep and letting out little farts, between little airy burps and some possetting I just can't think of anything I'm eating that might be doing it to him, or if it's just one of those things. My boobs haven't been overly full, so maybe he's just taking in air from force of habit. Or maybe he's disguising my let down by the way he feeds. He's a trooper, though, he's trying to deal with it. But he doesn't have to be like his daddy and grandmother and be stoic - if it hurts then cry, dammit!
Anyway, I wish I could have given DP a better Fathers Day, but that would have involved removing the chainsaw course from his life and bringing his dad back, I suppose.
Well, Oscar still asleep so I'll go to the loo and then see how he's going.
