I have every intention of being way more active in this thread!!!
Just on day 3 of recovery from the big C...gosh, it's so much harder than recovering from natural! I'm really disliking not being able to do much...I couldn't even change a nappy until yesterday. DH is being amazing doing all the nappy changes, passing her to me for feeds, walking around burping etc. Yesterday, he gave me with a beautiful Pandora bracelet for 'giving him the best gift he has ever received'...so that was really sweet.
I'm chewing on arnica tablets and tissue salts like mad hoping to speed it all up a bit- I hate this level of dependency.
Still being in hospy is starting to do my head in. I can't wait to get her home but being here is preventing me from doing too much, I guess. We're going home tomorrow. Dh still has another 2-3 weeks off so that will be lovely. I'm missing DS like crazy. He's Dad has brought him in for a few visits but it's not the same.
As for Olivia- she's amazing. So far, she has been extremely easy. She's gotten herself into a very predictable 4 hourly feed routine...my milk just came in this morning so I've got my fingers crossed that she says with this for a while.
Not sure how I'm feeling re the delivery yet...very mixed...relieved but there's a whole lot of disappointment thats simmering just below the surface. I think I'll write a birth story...more for my own therapy than for anything else...love yours Maya.
That's it from me for now...sorry if that has seemed like a massive whinge!!!
Enoy your little girls...can't believe how many of them we have...
