Hi I think my thrush/breast pain is finally all good. I don't want to speak too soon but it's been about a week with no pain! Yay! I'm expressing 3-4 times per day, and do both sides each pumping session. Previously I was pumping more often but only one side at a time. At least doing it this way I don't have to wash the pump so often! haha. Emily takes anywhere between 60ml - 120ml per feed, 6-7 feeds per day. She's consistently sleeping around 6-8 hours over night. But day sleeps are still quite bad! Cat naps for 20 mins here and there. Quite grizzly lately, she cries with real tears and everything! She's gone from pooing each nappy change, to going once or twice every couple of days. It worried DH at first (he thought she was constipated from me having the nurofen plus), but DR Google assures me it's all normal for this age as their little bodies adjust
My pap smear came back abnormal and I need to go back for another in 12 months time. I've already had a couple of surgeries to have abnormal cells removed so I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about. I am still a little ouchie down below, mainly just when going to the toilet. The pushing sensation hurts a little (sorry for TMI). DH and I have resumed DTD.
Emily smiles a lot, and is starting to coo and make cute little noises. If I copy her, she talks back. It's very sweet She has her fists in her mouth most of the time, and has just started looking at her hands. A couple of times it's looked like she's reaching for the toys on her play gym, but could just be flukes!
