Oh god the weight thing. Although have been back at pre-pregnancy weight since week 2, pre-pregnancy weight was Still Way Too Much. And as you say, Mrs Bri, the shape is all different. So clothes that fit before now fit differently, or don't fit. I don't think my stomach will ever be quite the same, and it was not that good before. I was 39 in July and although never a skinny minny am used to feeling and being quite fit, with rock hard abs, albeit ones hidden under an insulating layer. My left knee is absolutely cactus, am back at ortho surgeon's tomorrow as need another operation, maybe two. So right now even swimming is off the menu, and if I do a big walk (did about 3 miles this morning, not that much) then the next day I am a bit crippled. Gah.
I'm down to pumping once for about ten mins total every morning, with the aim of stopping completely soon as I can. J is 12 weeks on Wednesday and I figure that's not a bad effort. I just take the pump off before the boob is entirely drained and very day take a bit less from each boob. Now down to 60-70ml so do you reckon once I'm down to 30ml or so, say, total, I can just try and stop completely?
We have J down at 7pm, dream feed about 11pm and he sleeps right through till 3am for that, then another dreamfeed-stylee top up at 3am but we can't get him to sleep beyond 5-530am in the mornings although he's not due to eat till 7am. I am unsure right now how we'll ever manage it! Although we are not, and have not, ever suffered sleepless nights with him so musn't complain.
Can't believe the time is going so fast, eh?
