Hi all,
I have returned from hospital.
Ashleigh was born Mon 18/09 at 8:46pm, weighing 7 pounds 7 ounces, length 50.5cm.

It was a long and very painful labour until the lovely anethitist came along and gave me my epidural. I will get around eventually to writing my birth story.

Ashleigh has latched on really well and is feeding good. She's been good baby so far but it has only been 3 days!

The hosp staff very nice and would take her out at night, and bring her in just for feeds, they'd change her nappy clean up vomit or anything like that to help us get sleep.

Baby blues kicked in, hormones mixed with lack of sleep and such an overwhelming feeling aren't a good combination. I'm glad to be home but **** scared at the same time too.

I think my milk is on its way in cause went to sleep with mango's and woke up with watermelons! They're feeling quite hard and sore. Nipples are doing okay once i started using that lasinoh cream, got a little bruise too on one side on the first day.
