feeding? DS is feeding well, but has lost weight ... not quite 10% but he hasn't started regaining yet, so we've been told to up his feeds to 3 hourly (4 hourly overnight) and do little top ups of EBM (as I'm expressing anyway).

boobies? mine hurt!! how are yours? the skin is peeling off them, particularly on old faithful (my left boobie...) and latching is incredibly painful ... but once he gets on properly, it isn't too bad ... expressing doesn't hurt as much, as I am in control of pace and pressure! still hurts, but hopefully my nipples will toughen up really quickly, and we'll have a lovely long bf relationship ... I've been using a little ebm to rub into them after feeds, air drying, and then slathering on Lansinoh in the hope that they'll heal up quickly, and not get any worse ... expressing is good because I can get all the lumps and hot spots worked out ...

wheezing? has almost disappeared altogether. I have s bit of a sniffle today, and got a coldsore yesterday, a so it's possible I'm just run down and a little sick!

tummy? it's still pretty sore, but not obviously a different colour any more, and not hot or anything. keeping an eye on it, but it's looking ok. pain killers aren't doing much to be frank, but we'll get there. the stitches are looking fine. no gaping, no bleeding, no obvious discharge. looking good.

baby blues? they suck ... need to organise to see my counsellor.

older kids? DS just loves "his baby" to pieces! I need to spend more time with him - and find ways that he can't hurt me! he's very active, and is always climbing or crawling or whatever, so there's always a hand or a foot in my tummy or boob or whatever, and it hurts! and I can't lift him, swing him, or even chase him around right now ... I need to figure out some creative ways of playing around without getting hurt! in the meanwhile, I'm making sure to give him plenty of love...
