Sorry to be MIA for so long. Funny how you can be soooo busy and yet feel like you haven't done much, with a bub.
Went to the Dr today as a small bit on my ceasar cut started weeping and bleeding just a little last night (sorry everyone! Hope ur not eating). They weren't too worried about it, apart from the fact it's happened close to 6 weeks, but my 6 week appointment is next Monday so I've got antibiotics and we'll see how it is by then. It's a little sore and I'm back to not being 100% comfortable with things like bending down, and reaching over for things. DH goes back to work next Monday too, so that could be interesting.
We did our first day trip on Monday to Gympie (1 1/2 hrs away). One of my best friends who now lives in US was back for a visit with her husband and 6 month old. It was the 1st time everyone got to meet each other. What a change from old times, now that we have bubs, prams and hubs in tow! It all went well. Liam travelled well and coped with the heat pretty well too. Actually, he's been really good lately and I'm starting to stop holding my breath and just enjoy it all.
On the feeding, I've decided to go 1/2 BF and 1/2 FF which I feel a lot happier about than just doing 1 exclusively ATM. Didn't end up calling ABA just because I was so tired I couldn't think properly the next day and as soon as I think I have a problem it sorts itself out. I'm currently doing a quick BF then topping up on FF - but no matter how much BF he has still has at least 100ml Formula, and sometimes the whole 150ml recommended. We got him weighed today and he's put on 1kg in 3 weeks, so is around 4.7kg now. YAY! My nanna dropped round today too and was amazed at how much bigger and heavier he was since just last week!
I was wondering if anyone else was suffering from baby brain! I'm terrible. So vague and so unable to focus. ...that does go doesn't it?
HJ - I'm so happy for you that things went well with Bianca last night! I get the whole 'feeling like a mum for the 1st time' thing. I keep looking at those calm mums with a couple of kids and wondering if they felt so out of place with their 1st.
