Morning! Just a quick one, I´m not forgetting about all of you! Katy I´m sorry you´re feeling rotten again and hope you´re back on track soon. I´m never ill either so I know what you mean about it being kind of a shock to the system.
WO - Are you trying to give the bottle or your dp? Hope you manage it - we´ve been really lucky in that N will take whatever you shove in his gob although it has made me feel surplus to requirements at times N has started ´chomping´ on my nipple at the end of a feed, he kind of grins up at me while squeezing it between his gums [owwww] so if he keeps that up breastfeeding may come to a rather abrupt end. Still not sure when I´ll stop, never thought I´d do extended bf-ing and still don´t but I think it will be sad whether I stop now, at 6 months, 9 months or whenever motherhood. gotta love it.
Pesha - I agree with what everyone else says, that D sounds like a happy and very loved little boy and you are doing your best, I´m glad the HV didn´t give you grief this time Either way it´s probably a good thing they´re keeping an eye on it, just to make doubly sure he´s okay, but no need to make you feel crap about it!!
Better get off, N is about to wake up and I´m heading over to my parents´ house again. With Dad stuck in his chair all day I figure I can at least throw the baby at them a couple of times a day I know, I´m all heart...
Thanks for all your support, The initial panic/ fear has faded and will do until the next appt I imagine. He didn´t even feel particularly bad before he went in so although he´s had this news he says he doesn´t feel really that different. Although partly I´m sure that´s denial as he clearly gets exhausted doing the most simple task and half the problem, and urgency for the surgery, is that his heart has deteriorated so fast in such a short time so it´s only logical that it´s continuing to deteriorate. Yuck, horrible topic of conversation.. i´m off.. kisses to you all!
