Hello,
Big congratulations to Zippy! I agree with momma, expressing during colostrum stage can scare you because you think that amount can't possibly be enough. But it is, a baby's tummy is only the size of a small marble when they are newborn and the more often you feed/express the more milk will be made.
Hope everything goes well Zippy! I am highly jealous.
Well, I think I have officially started nesting. We have builders coming tomorrow (fingers crossed) to knock a double doorway between our front room and play room so we can make the spaces more dual use. We have 3 rooms and a kitchen downstairs shabs - does that make us posh? It does mean that we can retreat into the third room whilst builders make a big mess.
On Saturday night I stayed up until 4am doing washing, cleaning, getting out the breast pump and bottles and steriliser which no formula will touch
My house is now almost the cleanest it has been for a while just in time to be covered in dust! Lol...
I have been feeling rather peculiar, wondering if it is a sign of relatively imminent birth. I feel rather emotional, excited and frustrated and I've been having dreams about breastfeeding and waking up desperately longing to feed a baby...
DH is running a book on the birth he says 36 3 days, my friend Tania says 38 1 day, MIL thinks this week, I think 38/39 weeks anyone else want to guess?
