Hi all, hope everyone is well.
Mrs M you sound very happy. Everything sounds like its going great, long may that continue for you, especially the night time part. Ignore your sister, she's just jealous and so am I! I also had a day or 2 when I thought I'd like another baby really soon, but that thought soon (thankfully) passed.
Tink, glad the stitches coming out was ok, I've only ever had dissolveable ones. I'm glad you were able to make your decision today, and it sounds like it is the right decision for the right reasons. See, you are a great mum, because you knew all along that Will wasn't getting quite enough. Glad the days are getting brighter for you. Oh and about dd having a sister - dare I say you could always have another one
Emj, did your day get any better for you. Sorry things weren't so great this morning, hopefully things picked up a bit. Things were a bit emotional and shouty in our house prior to the school run this morning too. If you can, try to sit with your feet up to help the swelling, but I know, its easier said than done.
Hopey, Niamh sounds beautiful. I'm afraid I don't know about peppermint water/tea. I bought some but never used it because I didn't much like it. We've been chatting on various threads about how a tiny bit of colostrum goes a very long way for these lo's. And there are a lot of us here who have used formula top-ups in the early days. And for several babies it doesn't seem to effect them eventually bfing. But the thing we most agree on is the 'happy mum = happy baby' thing.
Congratulations to Hammer and welcome Millie. I like the idea of your girl band! But what does the girls' daddy think of that?!?
Mrs B, what a shame everything is undecided for you. You never know, things might just happen on their own. And yes you were right about your fanjo . Seems by far you have the most interesting fanjo, with an elusive cervix to boot! I think mine's dead boring in comparison.
Rin, my blood pressure was high today too. But a couple of weeks ago they were concerned it was too low. Hopefully as you say, it was just a tempory blip.
ACmum, hows little Eloise?
Well my news is that I've been at the hospital most of the day, being followed up about my asthma/breathing problems. I've not had my miraculous recovery that I'd hoped for yet so they are going to carry on monitoring me. They asked me to consider when I want to give up bfing so I can start using a new sort of inhaler which would mean I could stop taking steroids. (This new inhaler isn't compatible with bfing). It's not something I want to think about just yet. I also found out some results of some allergy testing they did. Turns out I'm very allergic to cats (knew that), quite allergic to dogs (can live with that) allergic to a tree mould (not surprised about that) but surprised to see I'm very allergic to 'house dust mites'. Yuk. They suggested I get rid of all carpets, and buy new mattress, pillows etc. Guess I'll have to be getting the hoover out a bit more often! Oh well. But at least there's something to work on I suppose. Btw, I took Liam to the hospital with me and also saw my colleagues. They all gushed over him, and it made me feel so proud him. And proud of me too .
