I must say Jaycee, when I received your text I was so excited that everyone around me was asking me what was wrong as I had happy tears in my eyes ! I am also excited to be your baby buddy .
Ezymay - I think bringing home any baby can be daunting, whether it be number 1, 2, 3 . I also have had a few teary moments, but I think it's because I'm starting to feel like I have a cold coming on, grrr.
Hiya shellybelly!! Looking forward to being your baby buddy too !
AFM - Bree has been a pretty good baby, and I'm pleased to announce that she did the longest um, bottom fluff I have ever heard last night . At least she is well accomplished at getting rid of her wind fairly easily ! And yay, the Easter bunny even bought her a little plush duck.
I gave birth to Jacob Lucas on Tuesday the 19th April, 2011. He was 7lb 13oz (3.5kgs) length was 54cm and head circ was 37cm. It was a vaginal delivery, but needed the vacuum as he was a "tight fit" said the Ob, ended up with a second degree tear.
ezymay, I was mega teary yesterday, today has been a bit better. Wish there was an off switch! I wonder, how long does it normaly last?
Jacob is a pretty easy baby I think, but I have nothing to compare him to. Was having major issues with breastfeeding whilst in hossy, which was making me very upset, and resulted in me staying in for an extra day. My flow is really limited (no leakages either) so he gives up easily. But things have started improving really slowly over the last couple of days and he is now feeding on both sides. Minor miracles! But now my nipples are really painful, especially today. I can express ok with the machine on the lowest setting but when Jacob latches on I cry out in pain. Is anyone else having these issues, and if so is there anything I can do?? What are nipple shields? Starting to dread feeding time which is not ideal
