Hi girls,
This will be a super quick catch up as alone today and trying to keep my little critter occupied...
MCHN came Tues and Yves has put on 536gm in 7 days, so that was cool to know. He is still tiny, but not quite the scrawny pterodactyl we brought home from hosp! He is feeding well, but my nipples are still ridiculously sore. MCHN seemed to think it will pass... man I hope so, it makes each feed a real mental battle. I so want to keep going, but when it gets too much we do mix in a formula feed - once a day at the moment. It helps to know he will alternate between bottle and boob as needed.
The in-laws are still staying with us, but leave Sunday. They have been such a help but I am also looking forward to DF and I enjoying time with our son alone. Excitingly though, my dear friend is visiting from Sydney, so tomorrow night I have some EBM put aside and we are going out for dinner and a glass of wine I am going to make the most of the grandies babysitting, as who knows when the next opportunity will be.
Thats all our news really - I will try and get posting more often once the visitors are gone - despite their help with Yves I seem to have less time to sit down, as I tend to use the hands-free moments tidying up after them!
Hope you are all managing well today and maybe get a few smiles, even windy ones!
