Its so good to see some old names (obviouslay not faces LOL) here. I hope everyone is having a good time with thier new bubbas.
Insom- I know what you mean about the mood swings. Had some real low points while still in hossie and couldnt even smile at Adrian. I felt really awful and hubbie was worried that it would develop into PND but i came good as soon as i got home and love my little man to death now. Now i only cry when i look at him and think about how much i love him.
b- i feel for you hun. I've been very lucky with Adrian as after some initial feeding problems, (not latching properly and effing sore nipples!) he now feeds about every 3-4 hrs during the day, cluster feeds every hour from about 7-10 at night, then sleeps til 3ish-4ish, feeds again and then sleeps til about 8 in the morning. It took a while to try and figure out his routine, and the cluster feeding is annoying since he always cries when im in the middle of dinner, but its worth it since i only have to get up once during the whole night. I have given him formula a few times because he has sucked me dry, but my milk seems to have caught up and i am now leaking through breast pads! Hope your feeds level out soon
Meercat- Sorry your DH was being a jerk to you. Next time he has a hangover, make yourself unavailable (hop in the shower or something) and let him change a screaming, pooey baby and see if the drinks were worth it then! LOL. I was actually ****y at my DH for the opposite reason that he seems to be better at this than i am! He is so good with Adrian and the changing and settling and bathing stuff comes so naturally to him. I should be very thankful though and deep down i am but i always thought it would be me teaching him not the other way round!
AFM i feel suprisingly good. I thought i would be a lot more bothered by my sticthes (3rd degree tear) but i didnt even need ice packs in hospital. Other than moving around if i had been sitting for a while my stitches hardly bothered me at all. I think they are all dissolved now anyway, have to go see the OB this week just to make sure everything healed well. Looking forward to the end of 6 weeks since my libido has come back!!!! DTD is now back on the menu!!!!!
Another plus is that the BF seems to being doing wonders for my metabolism as i am 2 kilos lighter now than BEFORE i got pregnant!!!!!! Hope that keeps up.
Anyways, i think the little monkey is stirring and is ready for a feed so i will talk to all the mummies another time. Cuddles for all!!!!
