OMG I was severely engorged the other night too. I really feel for you. It hurt to stand, to lay, to wears top, not wear a top. I swear I went from a DD to at least a G cup. I tried pumping but it didn't help at all, I just got in the shower for a while then laid down with freezing cold washers on them. Nothing helped but time really. It toke at least 12 hours for it to settle. Hoping it eases for you, I really do.

I am also feeling very under the weather. I have a really horrible hemorrhoid, it's so painful. I don't know how to be with it. I'm using a cream and icing when I can. That coupled with stitches and getting up and down constantly has left me feeling very average indeed. I honestly felt that a VBAC would leave me feeling physically better but so far, that's proving to be wrong.

Sleep wise he is settled more during the day. Of a night it's constant feeds and poos. My night sleep is four hours in total.

Our DD is doing ok. It upsets her when he cries and when I feed him. She is starting to warm to him though and sometimes talks to him. Saying and demanding a lot of 'I wants this and I want that' so she's probably feeling a bit neglected. I feel guilty as she has been having to amuse herself more and we've been letting her use the iPad too much. How do you spread yourself evenly when you have a newborn :'(

I didn't know they even still circumcised anymore. Goodluck working through that with your husband. That would be a difficult decision to make seeing as he wants it and you don't.

My DH is being a champ. He's doing everything! In return I am not bothering him of an evening and letting him get a big solid chunk of sleep. Though I am sure he is still knackered.

We're all totally in love with this kid. He's perfection. I love falling in love.
