I didn't realise how quickly this thread moves on until I can only log in once a day....by heck you lot can talk for your country! What about pearl necklaces....what did I miss??
Big Congrats to Babymonster.....look forward to seeing you on the PN thread...
Missed the bit about catkin having pre-eclampsia......I hope that she and bub are OK.
SFL......just want to say a big thank you from DH and I, and sorry, but I've not yet cashed your cheque...I'll get DH to do it tomorrow....
Good luck for the induction tomorrow. At least the end is in sight and you will have your LO very soon. Can't wait to hear all the details and see the photos.
JBM, I'll get DH to post the shorts tomorrow as well...forgot all about them in our excitement!
MW came today and took my stitches out. Feeling much much better and the wound isn't nearly as sore. she thinks there may be a bit of an infection though, so got to keep an eye on things.
Holly...i used nipple shields for my night time feeds and it was much more comfortable. MW has also helped me with getting her latched on better, so the last two feeds have been virtually pain-free. Think we mught just have craked it! I asked about the lack of engorgement and she said that it's not usually as bad with subsequent babies as your body remebers and is more efficient at milk production much more quickly.
Now we just have to work on the poo.....she poos a little bit, waits for you to change her nappy and either projectile poos as soon as its off, or waits for a nice fresh one before finishing. We used 20 nappies yesterday
right, DH is waiting to put some steri-strips on the end of my wound which hasn't quite knitted together properly.....bless the man he deserves a medal....from drying my feet and legs in the hospital (plus drying my fanjo and changing my maternity pad for me!!), to massaging my swollen feet, and administering wound dressings, what a star!!
Lord my DD has pooed again!
