Hello All

Putting a tentative toe in the water.... as it's a bit scary

Realised I finally have to leave the pregnancy thread, which in itself made me a bit teary, had an absolute blast over there with the girls but now our little man, Landen has joined the world, June 18th by emergency c section, weighing in at 8lbs 7....I've become a mummy.....and thats well scary!!!!

So just wanted to say hello really, not sure I'll ever be able to keep up with this thread, was bad enough with the pregnancy thread (although most of that was me chatting), let alone trying to follow this one with baby in tow xx

EG - I think I'm doing ok..... although the concoction of meds I was given to induce, speed up, have c section, be put under last minute and recovery has knocked me for six. And then they tell me afterwards I may feel like this for a month! Although to be fair I'd have gone through anything to get him out into the world safely.....Its mostly my memory, I cant remember squat! I have to write everything down for myself, like when I've taken my meds, when he fed, what time I ate etc

Aside from that though I've been out for a walk every day since we got out of hospital, my wound is still pretty sore and i forget that staying in any position for too long makes it ache in various places, but thankfully i had the bead out last week and it didnt hurt, and I was dreading that! I've even managed a couple of hours shopping two days, but I just make sure I take it easy....

How anyone can follow all the recommendations for 6 weeks though is beyond me.... I've still done things like put washing on, bending, i've carried some things but not anything massively heavy.... but to follow everything they tell you to is just mind blowing. Plus husband is back at work so I dont have anyone else around after this week when my mum goes home, to do them for me....

Jakes - Yes thats our first "fake baby" Gordon Ramsay the Pug, who has surprised us all and done quite well with the baby, he gets a bit over excited and wants to lick him, and I have trouble restraining him if I'm sat on the sofa with baby in arms, as 've only got one hand free and need to keep the dog off my wound and off the baby.... but its mostly the smell of the milk that excites him he'll sit quite calmly on the sofa next to me when we're just sitting....

SS - We're getting there I'd say. I'm happy about my decisions with feeding Landen after drama in hospital over it.
We have visit with midwife tomorrow and he'll be weighed again so Im hoping it'll be good news.....
Also registering his birth tomorrow as well so he'll be a real live person....
Broken sleep is quite a challenge, esp as I try to let DH sleep as much as possible during the nights because he has 12 hour shifts at work to do, admittedly only for 3 days so when he's off we've got an agreement that he'll do more of the night feeds.
Other than that....... I think we're ok LOL

No, he is p!ssed with me for not monitoring the stupid xbox, because he was opposed to getting it in the first place. He is a PS3'er and hates Xbox/Microsoft....I talked him round because all ds1's mates have Xbox's!!!

I blame him for stupidly putting his card details in the thing....I didn't even realise he had done tbh.

and sm, I agree ds1 obviously knew a bit what he was doing otherwise he wouldn't have tried to cover it up.....I told him I am very tempted to smash the bloody thing and chuck it in the bin, but instead he is going to be earning his pocket money as usual alnong with ds2...once they have both hit the £40 target they were aiming for anyway, ds2 can go to gamestation and ds1 will be giving every penny to me!!!

I am so annoyed, I have been putting off getting baby monitors because we are a bit tight on money atm.....that would have covered the cost of them. I was also going to go and treat mt baby girl to a couple of pretty sleepsuits and rompers tomorrow....I can't now:(
