He sleeps in my arms and is awake as soon as I put him down, arg! Still, we're starting to get some smiles and the nights are improving so i'm not too upset by it. Also DP is back on Tuesday! I'm going to have a sleep, and a bath and ...ooh I'm so excited! Oh yes, and get to see my DP too, hehe.
Another, rather amazing thing that just happened is I've this evening found us somewhere to live until the lease on the new flat starts! It's a bit too perfect for words, a friends lovely big flat is sitting empty for the exact period we want somewhere and he's renting it to us at cost, ie. very little. The 7 weeks in his flat will cost us about half what the new one will every month (and that's still a small student flat!) So we'll be able to move back to Edinburgh from the beginning if July so now only a few more weeks of Highland life then I'm back to the city, hooray! haven't even had a chance to tell DP yet, very happy, bit too good to be true actually!
So gingerwenchand walkingwomb a meet up in Edinburgh would be fab!
Thanks asicsgirl, LM74, pina and niknak21 for the advice about bleeding. It did calm down and has yet to make an appearance today, please let it be finished, it's been nearly 6 weeks!
Thanks also "LM74* for saying such nice supportive things, made me feel lots better.
podglet glad all went well at the hospital, you must be very relieved
magicfairy I think we have the same routine, or lack of, at the moment - a constantly feeding baby! There's your answer YCBS! He's on about every 2 hours for about 20 - 30 minutes each side, sometimes less, sometimes more. He does stop feeding and then just suck so I often have to break the suction and take him off when it's clear that there is no more to be had! planning to start trying to express at the weekend, he'll be 6 weeks on Sunday.
asics DS sleeps in a vest, a sleepsuit and a grobag and sometimes a blanket too. Oh dear, that sounds like loads but my room is pretty cold. I'm wearing long pjs and a really thick duvet and sometimes still a bit cold so don't want him to be. He doesn't ever seem to be hot. I love the grobags (well, unofficial 'grobags' real ones far too pricey unless from ebay IMO) as he can stay in that if he comes into my bed which he does rather a lot (but not under my duvet). Need to try and stop that when DP is back, no room for 3!
LM74 thanks for the links to nice bras, i will try to e-mail her cos with the P&P at new price it's only a pound under RRP. Hmm. I would love a pretty bra though! OMG at friend giving birth in the loo, I didn't think that was possible, thought it was just a bit of an urban legend! Bit jealous - it's the memory of the last long pushing bit that makes me doubt I could do it all again!
pina So glad you like DP's photos. He's not professional but is trying to be. Let me know if you'd like to see more, there are many very lovely albums and I'll get him to friend you. There's some here too. When I got birth announcement/thank you cards printed (still not written them damnit!) the printers said it must be useful having a prof. photographer in the family, I just agreed! (I've just put that picture on my MN profile, I think it's a lovely one) Oh dear, yes I am his biggest fan! I will ask a friend to do that next time I get the chance, they can always say no!
mumofkandj I've also used bigmamaslings and they were so brilliant I nearly wrote a letter to tell them how good they were (then remembered i don't even have time to wash so not really that important!) Haha i read your last post as 'snorts with magic laughter' and i thought that was brilliant!
gingerwench and ampster Congratulations! Will read birth announcements when I get a moment.
pregnabrain* so sorry you're feeling so low, have you got someone for some support? big hugs. x
Sorry for huge post....
Hope you all have a good night!
