Hi everyone, i've been pretty quite lately and haven't really had a chance to catch up on all the posts sorry
P is doing well, feeding, playing, sleeping quite well and very alert little bub - has been from the moment he was born but it looking more intently at you now when you talk to him. He has rolled over a few times from his belly to his back, and gets really cranky with himself when he can't do it! Funny to watch but frustrating too! He has also been determined to roll from his back to belly but hasn't quite mastered that one yet. Can't really leave him anywhere by himself cos you can't be sure he'll still be there!
Well last night was my hen's night, getting married in 4weeks!! Had an awesome time and lots of laughs - especially at my sister walking across the road like a chicken, evening stopping to peck at the ground!! Absolutely funny, with a pub full of people, restaurants and a street full of people stopping what they were doing to watch. Gotta love her!
I've been expressing and had enough bottles to get him through the afternoon, night and today, but 12hrs of not being with a little feeding machine my boobs became boulders again! Which meant anytime someone hugged me I was in agony. I managed to express some part way through the night but it didn't relieve much of the discomfort. Tried to express when I got home (4am!!) but it was a mission impossible and my right nipple didn't look good. So I have to ask if anyone has any advice for the wedding day? I will try and feed bub around 1pm then won't be able to express until we get to our accommodation for the night around 11pm. My dress doesn't exactly enable easy access to express through the night. Should I feed and express before getting dressed and completely drain both boobs? (I'll also post this in the breastfeeding section)
Well I'm off to have dinner while P's asleep.
Take care x
