Hi all. We got out of hospital Sunday afternoon, my blood results were better but I'm still very anaemic so I can do things in 10 minute bursts then I'm out of breath and trembly. DH is feeding me beans, broccolli, spinach & fresh orange. All the things that cause colic! My stitches are quite sore too but I spoke to teh GP this morning and I now have lactulose, to combat the iron tablets, and a healthy box of ibuprofen.
Monday I was trying to sort out the house, find nappies etc, and clothes that fit. All the newborn things I washed and put in the drawers will fit for about another week
And most are pink. :)
Thankfully we have bags of bigger neutral hand-me-downs for him they just need sorting out.
My milk came in properly yesterday and Seth decided he liked milk last night. He fed every hour from 5pm until 10am... except for 5am. By that point he was in bed with us and he slept. We spent most of today in bed and my boobs do now at least feel comfortable again, but I'm shattered. We've tried to keep him awake this afternoon, but he's had other plans. :) I'm off to bed soon to sleep while I can.
BabC I had antibiotics and steroids, 2 weeks ago (I think) so at 36/37 weeks. They've certainly done him no harm, except maybe make him bigger than I expected... he could have been big anyway though.
sassy We'd only agreed on a girls name, we'll not get to use it now, so if you like Anya it's yours. :)
Cheshire With DD we were told she was allowed out to Tescos, but I wasn't, too many germs & air conditioning. I'm not fit to go to Tescos, but we did go across to school on Monday. DD was distraught at not being able to take Seth in the morning, so I went in the afternoon (when all the kids had gone.) Seth was in the sling so people couldn't get too close and it was just the teachers who met him.
Right bed time. I'll do the birth story as soon as I have half an hour without a child attached. :)
