I'm so sorry, I still don't seem to have the time for personals - we keep getting so many visitors popping in to see us, which is taking up all my valuable BB time!! LOL. I am reading through all the post though, just can't get my head enough around it all to attempt personals and certainly don't have the time!!
I'm soo pleased to hear about Tess though, that's just the most exciting news and I can't wait for her offical announcement!!!
Oh and Sez, I'm so glad that you've joined us too, I just read your birth announcement, it's so beautiful!!!
Well, things are still going really well for us. I feel so lucky to have such a good little boy, he's certainly making life a little easier for us than I expected!! He's feeding about every two to three hours and i'm still using the nipple shield on one nipple but I think it's starting to feel a little better. I'm producing so much milk though and am a little afraid of expressing, because I certainly don't want my supply to increase. I'm more worried that I'm not emptying my boobs and apparently thats where you can get blockages and nasty things happening - does anyone else have this problem. I just leak like nothing else!! My boobs don't actually hurt though but they're getting really full. I'm not sure whether to just keep going as normal or whether to express aswell.
The little blocks of sleep is hard to get used to aswell - it's exhausting!!! And I'm a bit like Sarah - I'm doing far too much and my c/s scar is still hurting, it really makes life so much more difficult. Not to mention the horrible rash I got over the scar - my OB seems to think I had a reaction to the tape that was put over the scar while it healed. It's just a little annoying but it's starting to clear up!
We're just introduced a dummy into Luke's world too and it's the best thing ever!! Not that he cries too much but when he wakes too early, I've been putting it in to try and get a bit more sleep out of him before feeding again. It's working wonders and I hope it's not a bad habbit to get into.
We also took him for his first visit to the shops yesterday - what a great day we had. Sorted out all our Medicare and Health Insurance and he was just such a good boy!! Gives me confidence to venture out and about a bit more - well, that is when I can actually drive again - it's so frustrating.
Well, better go, Luke is a little hungry and he's starting to spit the dummy out. He's so cute, even when he is getting upset!!! I just love being a mum!!!
