Hello ladies.
I am supposed to be in the November group, but due to pre-eclampsia, had to have bub earlier by 3 weeks.

Things are going well. BFing is pretty good except he gets the nipple in his mouth and doesn't know it is there so moves his head from side to side trying to find it! Once he is on he is fine and slurps like a trooper, but he gets so frustrated when he can't find it.

Other than that, agree with you on the blues side of things. On the one hand I am so happy he is here with us and we just love him so so much. On the other I am terrified of all the bad things in the world that could harm him. I know I will get over it but they say the first bub is the most overwhelming? It is nice to know others are in the same boat, makes me feel more normal.

We have had some outings, to the doctor to check on my blood pressure and to the shops. DH is so wonderful with him, I can't imagine doing it without him.

Well, I am glad to be a part of this group, hope to share more ideas from here on in.
