good morning everyone- finally get a chance to read some posts and join in this new thread. sometimes lewis just won't let me put him down and it's impossible to get anything done at all. have skimmed over this thread- sometimes it moves so fast doesn't it? you miss a couple of days and so much happens!!
we got through the weekend with our 7 guests from sydney! everyone had a great time and loved lewis. he was very well behaved the whole time everyone was here and was happy to be passed around from person to person and wasn't upset at all by loud music and talking etc.- the boys can get a bit rowdy after a few beers!! lewis only really whinged a couple of times -mostly when he needed to be changed. everyone thought he was the cruisiest baby ever and was very impressed by him....then.....on sunday night after everyone had left he fully cracked it!! i think it was just all too much for him and he got over tired. it was hard cos i was extremely tired too and the house was a mess and dp was hungover...so i had a big cry and got a bit emotional and we all had a big cuddle and it was ok. it's just very different now because my needs don't come first anymore. lewis is the most important thing and it feels like there's no time for me anymore and i can't just drop the bundle and crack it cos he needs me all the time iykwim? i have a whole new appreciation for my own parents now. i really don't think i ever understood what they had done for me.....
anyway i'm feeling a lot better today and am off to my friend's house for lunch.i'm still a little nervous about breast feeding in front of people i know- especially other mothers who are more experienced than me cos i think they're gonna tell me i'm doing it wrong or something. will be nice to get out of the house though and catch up with her. i've even put a bit of make up on for the first time in a month!! woo hoo....and perfume too...oh how my life has changed lol
sorry about selfish post- i can't remember everything i've read- but hello to everyone and i hope you're all having a nice day with your beautiful bubs. queenie i hope you're giving birth right now!! lol
gotta run- lewis is just waking up. might try to feed him before i go out xoxo
