Stripey, I'm finding the feeding quite exhausting these last few days/nights. I don't want to switch to formula because it would be much worse to have to get up when he's hungry, at least I don't have to do that this time. I'm not intending to give formula again until I have to go back to work (probably the start of November), and then I hope to be able to maintain mix feeding and bf morning/evening and when I'm there.
I know some people would kill for 4 hours together at night but he's been feeding sooo much during the day as well, and my 4 hours of sleep were at a time which meant I couldn't get any more by going back to sleep again - he woke up at 5.30. I know we should go to sleep earlier but by the time ds1 is settled there's really not much time.
Our fridge has stopped working and I'm waititng for delivery of the replacement. That means that we had to clear out the fridge/freezer last night, delivery is due 12-6 so I potentially have to wait for it for over 5 hours - I hate waiting for delivery. I also probably have to rearrange an appointment for his jabs - I was hoping dp, my dad or the guy doing some work on our house would be able to take delivery but only my dad can make it and only from 4 - need to set out before 3 to be on time for appt then could be kept waiting, need to comfort feed afterwards etc etc.
Post office has refused to deliver one of ds1's birthday cards (post office card is addressed to him) because of "not enough postage" - believe shortfall is all of 8p. They're charging me £1.08 to get it redelivered - I must have been in the bath when the card arrived through the door. I've made a point of paying it online by credit card and they'll redeliver some time in the next few days. They're being petty, I can too. What a waste of time, and a service which can only get worse.
