Phew! Keeping up been a bit hard the last few days but have been trying my best. Thought I´d better write a few lines or I´ll feel even further behind!
Expressing - it´s going okay here, at the moment I express at about 3am which isn´t exactly ideal but I wake up automatically with my boobs full to bursting and a couple of hours before N will want a feed. So I stumble through to the kitchen and hook myself up.. takes about 10mins to get 3ozs as they are so full. I could get more but 10mins is more than enough to ease them off and I get straight back to bed. If I need to build up a feed I just express halfway between feeds during the day but I might get 2ozs for 20-30mins expressing so it depends if N is sleeping, if I can be bothered etc etc. On the whole I´m not bothering during the day at the mo´ though I might start again cos while I´m stocking up the freezer well, I´d also like dh to give him his last feed of the evening in a bottle to give me a break. I get around the whole ´but he might need fed right after I´ve expressed´ by reasoning that worst case and your boobs were empty, just give them what you have just expressed! A subject close to my heart, can you tell?!
No other news, great weekend with my big sister and her dh but they´ve gone home again now.. had our first night out without N, lovely meal and bottle of wine, felt pretty exhausted yesterday though having a slight hangover and late night before so not in a rush to repeat. Woke up this am at 3 to express and N woke at 4 to eat and then again at 7 so I was knackered. I obviously fell asleep on the bed as he fed so dh took him and left me to sleep for a couple of hours more. What a star.
Thanks for all the lovely photos, really nice to see all of your beautiful wee ones, will post some of N soon.
Sorry it´s been all me me me, will try to be a bit better next time!
