Afternoon ladies.

Oliver had his check-up this afternoon. He had gained 320g and grown 0.5cm in two weeks. His growth is slowing down, but I'm assuming (and hoping) that's pretty normal. It was one of the nice MCHNs today too. She was so nice. At one point I said "He's a good boy", and she said, "He's a good boy cause he's got a good mum and dad" .

Blip: Thinking about it again, I worked out it was longer than 6 hours before I got skin-to-skin. I mean, I got to hold him before that and fed him (though I don't think I ever got do a proper breastfeed in the first day - we syringe fed him the first few times)... Oliver was born at 12.34am, and I think it was more like 1pm by the time I got to do some proper skin-to-skin, so it was more like 13 hours! And by then, I'd requested it and the midwife kind of acted like "Alright, if you want" but made it seem like there was no point now . I didn't have much time to think about all this in the early days, but now that Oliver and I are in a good routine and I've had more time to think - my whole birth experience/first day with Oliver is starting to really upset me. I know the c/s was necessary at the time, but I still feel like I missed out on so much not being able to birth him myself. And missing out on those first few hours while I was in recovery and Oliver was in the nursery... I've written about it in the c/s support forums a few times, but rather than these feelings fading with time, they seem to be increasing with time as I have more time to reflect... sorry, getting off track...
How is Daz doing today?

How is everyone else doing?
