Hi Danielle
Congratulations on the arrival of Alex! Wow that is a very quick labour, glad your recovery has been good. Good on Alex with his weight! I'm yet to have Archer weighed - our baby clinic is on Mondays so will know how he's doing then. He lost quite a bit in hospital I think around 350g, he had a lot of mucous which wasn't helping as he threw up everything he got from me with it and ended up in special care on a drip .

Oh I'm hearing you on the BB's. I had the worst engorgement, I think my BB's went up to like a F cup (if there is such a thing) and I'm normally a DD. Youch.. and my nipples are still recovering from having cracks and blisters. My right is almost back to normal but the left doesn't seem to want to heal and bleeds when I feed Archer. I think his attachment is ok it only 'hurts' for like the first 10-15 secs then its just like a slight tugging sensation doesn't hurt though. Is this what it's like for you? I'm pretty sure it was the pumping machine in the hospital that has done this to them.

Yes he was a big boy! lol.. I had a dating scan at 39 weeks and was told he would be around 8p 8oz at birth... yeah right. Archer seems to be getting more popular. I actually liked Archie but my DH suggested Archer and I loved it straight away. We had Alex on our list too for a middle name.

I wonder where all the December babies are?
Talk to you later.
