Hi ladies, just catching up, sending best wishes for today's inductions, stay-put vibes to AmI and get-moving vibes to everyone else.
Just sitting with a sleeping baby while DH gets DD ready for our family outing to see our friends at their home. They have 2 toddlers who were obsessed with my pregnant tummy and will no doubt be over the moon to see a proper newborn. That and it will provide much-needed entertainment for DD, she's been a bit bored the last 2 days.
Day 4 and my nipples are super sensitive, despite still BFing DD in February (at which point she self-weaned) it's astonishing how quickly your nipples "forget", that and you forget newborns are a bit rubbish at it in comparison tbh
I'm being good though and checking the latch each time and using lansinoh even if I don't need it.
Feeling good mentally (with DD I had a really mean case of baby blues) but one of my stitches is annoying me today, I also seem to have a massive tension headache which won't shift. Drinking lots of water too so hoping it's temporary as it's stopping me doing chores. Afterpains were awful yesterday (nobody told me they get worse with each child!) but seem OK today. MW is coming tomorrow morning so will see what she says about headaches/stitches.
I managed to get 7 hours (!!) sleep last night over 2 stretches, Millie's been feeding like mad at night so I've had her in bed with me, last night she must've tanked up on milk now it's come in
Might try her in her crib tonight as I find co-sleeping quite scary tbh (every time I wake up I have a moment of panic wondering where she is
)
Got a lovely bouquet delivered from work today, that really cheers you up when you feel tired/sore
Lots of cards too which DD loves, she points and says "teddy bear", "baby", "flowers" and "donkey" (one randomly has a donkey in a pram
).
