Belle - glad I'm not the only one even today I could've sworn I felt a kick! I did get some notes from the birth, I think it's 3 pages all up and I was meant to give it to my GP but I photocopied it first! Ah yep I did have the pregnancy record until Friday when my midwife came over for our last visit and took it with her good ol' baby brain here didn't think to copy that one! Drats! I bet you're relishing having your DH around now before he leaves again, what does he actually do again? Glad to hear you got out on your own while you can, do you have much support once he's gone again? Did Clay end up having a bit of a fussy period around 2 weeks? Little Buster here sure did, fed more and cried more for a few days but seems to be more settled now.
Williever - great to see you in here! Sounds like you had a bit of a rough time sorry to hear, hope you're feeling okay. I'm sure you did a great job bringing him into the world. My first birth was pretty awful and I think I was in shock for weeks afterwards, keep talking about it as much as you need to.
Alicia - congratulations on the birth of your daughter What a shame about her not being weighed correctly, I can understand why you'd be upset. Maybe it is a 2nd baby thing as I have felt fantastic since having Alex too (well apart from a cold and a crook neck!), I couldn't walk for about a week after my first so it's a huge difference! I'm all for a FB group, would be good to put names to gorgeous bubby faces So glad to hear breastfeeding is going well, the sore nipples will get better, have you got any Lansisoh cream? I used that for the first week or so and it certainly helped with the pain. Feeding is going well for us, sleeping is not that great but I'm not fussed as Alex is just too cute! He has his day/night mixed up so he feeds more frequently at night and has longer stretches during the day, but he'll sort that out eventually. How is your older one taking to the new arrival?
I had an appt with the MCHN today and found that Alex has put on over a kilo since birth and grown 3cms...still smaller than his big brother was at birth though bless his little cotton socks. He is a chucky baby so I was quietly amazed he'd taken any milk in! What's everyone giving their newbies for xmas? I felt a bit silly wrapping up his pressies seeing we'll be the ones opening them but ah well! Have had a not so great week unfortunately - have had an awful cold plus badly hurt my neck from not sitting properly when feeding, I was in tears over the weekend from the pain! Told DH I'd rather give birth again! Have had a couple of physio sessions and having another tomorrow, it's slowly getting better but still sore, have to constantly remind myself to stop slouching!
