Hello everyone and congratulations to you all!

I had a baby boy on Nov 2 by emergency c-section as my blood pressure went up and I started to develop pre-eclampsia. He was only 2.2kg and had to spend some time in the special care nursery being tube fed so I ended up staying in hospital for over 2 weeks. It nearly drove me nuts, but thankfully we're home now. We named him David Robert and his two older brothers ( Mitchell 7 and Adam 4) seem pleased with him so far . He's been a little bit erratic with his feeding/settling, sometimes he goes for 3 hrs between feeds and other times only an hour.

I went and hired an electric breast pump yesterday and expressed some milk so my husband fed him last night so I could get some sleep which was good. The caesarean was a bit of shock because I had both vaginal births for my first two, plus I had a chest infection so every time I coughed it was agony where I had my cut/wound. I'm feeling better now just tired but thats life with a newborn isnt it?

Had a burst of energy this morning and started trying to tidy up/vaacuum and now I feel completely buggered and I know David's going to wake up any minute for another feed. But I know its all worth it when I'm having a beautiful cuddle/smooch with him.

Hope everyone gets some sleep tonight,
Nessie
