Pregpan & DH - MAZAL TOV!!! I love the name you have chosen for your precious little man - Noah is lovely, and very special naming him for your dad! Glad it all went well, sounds like it was a HUGE day - you'll probably need a few days to recover now!

Katie, so glad the mastitis seems to have passed, although if you're like me you'll still be nervous about it in future!

Jazmum - wise words from a veteran, we are definitely still in the baby-sleeps-a-lot honeymoon phase, I keep warning DH it's gonna change and when it does we'll be in for a shock! Lucky for me though as I really need these days/weeks to rest and heal. Good luck with your shopping. I'm going to try to venture out today - nothing as major as groceries though!

Sherie - good to hear you're doing so well and got the feeding question settled without any grief! The family day out sounds great, I'm going a little stir crazy here (DD is nearly 2 weeks old, the only place I've been besides home is the HOSPITAL!!)

Leemar, glad DD's thrush is clearing up, it can be quite nasty. I'm pretty nervous about it myself as I'm on such a lot of ABs (and by the time I'm finished it will be 2weeks+ that I've been on them) but I'm hoping the thrush fairy will visit someone else's house (not mine).

OK, well I'm feeling a bit nervous this morning as I have *TMI* just started bleeding (really bleeding - and not the wound this time) AGAIN - *sigh* so hoping this doesn't mean YET ANOTHER trip to the hospy. I told the midwives about it a few times last week but they just kept saying "as long as there's no large clots it's ok" - does that sound right to you guys?
