I am sure that Charlotte knows when I am on the computer, she starts the moment I start typing a reply!
Charlotte lost her stump the day after I got home from hospital. I was terribly distraught about it because it stuck to the nappy and I didn't realise and I just ripped it off. I was sure that she was hurt even though the books told me otherwise and I shed tears over that. Her belly button looks lovely now.
I have the big bazoomas as well and find it an issue getting them into position. I must say I am watching heaps of TV. Speaking of breastfeeding, Charlotte only feeds for 15 minutes. She is putting on weight and has a lot of pooey and wet nappies so she must be doing ok but 15 minutes doesn't seem long enough. I would love for her to feed for longer and have longer periods between feeds. She feeds 3 hourly in the night and 2 hourly during the day. Oh, wouldn't it be great to have see through breasts that you could see how much the baby is getting.
Deb, I am having fewer teary days now. I had them fairly regularly in the first week and a half when I got home but they have definitely slowed down now.
Colleen, I hope that the constipation is better. I had a massage last night and the masseuse was telling me about the baby massages she has given. One baby had reflux and colic and she gave it a massage and green slimey poo came out a couple of hours later. Ooh, that sounds awful.
Speaking of which, we have a few pooey nappies a day.
Oh Dinky, you must be exhausted going to the hospital all day long. It will be lovely when Hayley comes home.
We are doing ok here and are getting into a bit of a routine with sleeps which is nice. At least I know that I should have time from 12:30pm to 1:30pm to do stuff. Now I just have to work out the rest of the day.
