Well DH and I had a rest afternoon this afternoon - he's been letting me sleep in most mornings but is looking a bit haggard cos he gets up to change Elisabeth and then rocks her back to sleep most times when I'm finished feeding...anyway Elisabeth got up for a feed half way thru but settled back down so we got a bonus hour after that! DD1s last day of school today so fewer naps from here on in!
Joasia - I agree with Jazmum's muslin trick - we always have a flannelette wrap with us so I've very clumsily used that (draped over shoulder) a couple of times but don't intend to hide under there forever LOL! OK, so bleeding 4 weeks after birth warrants ABs?...I'm gonna remember that in a couple of weeks time as the heavens have opened *again* today and shows no signs of abating.
ETA - definitely go with the fluffy dressing gown for the wedding...very Zsa Zsa Gabor!
Leanne - are you looking forwards to going back to work or dreading it? I'm dreading going back to work even tho it's months away LOL. It's great your mum has them - I've always envied ppl who have family to care for their kids! Enjoy your shopping.
Cally hope those cracked nipples clear up quickly for you... I've got one that's still really sore - if E latches on wrong, she sucks so hard and hurts it before I can get her off (her first words will probably be swear words cos I tend to say them a lot in this situation). I'm really looking forwards to getting to the point where it doesn't hurt anymore (still a few weeks away I think). That's excellent news that you have "graduated" from the midwife to the MCH nurses!
Noni - so good to see you back in here and hope Asha keeps up the excellent sleeping pattern!
Arte, that's nice that William is awake for stretches in the day! Half an hour is pretty much all that E can handle and usually only once or twice a day.
Jazmum - that's terrible about the chocolate - one square! I think you should give that midwife a good hard slap next time you see her LOL.
Sherie, nice that A has fallen into a sleeping pattern but like you say no doubt it will change soon enough! With DD1 I often wanted to bring her into to bed but I am always paranoid about smothering her so it's never as restful as it should be!
Katie - CHRISTMAS shopping - mymy you are organised!
I've been meaning to ask all the CS ladies - has your scar/wound been itchy - mine has started to itch these last couple of days but I'm not sure if it's pube regrowth or a good sign that it's healing (FINALLY)! Took my last AB pill this afternoon, bit nervous about it going pear-shaped once they're finished.
ETA - Meant to ask Renee how you're going...are you still on the ABs and is your tummy/appetite a bit better now?
