Candy great news about your bp!! 
And ok I did not know about this two week hormone thing. That explains a lot about the start of my week!
Cherry fingers crossed Paige isn't in the harness for long, but at least it's been identified and is getting treated ASAP.
Congratulations lily!!!

Woohoo maybesoon!
Candy my Dr said I could be like this up till about 12weeks pp! Oh dear I hope not.
I took my shower and we took our Dog Charlotte for a walk and guess what happened....someone flat ran her over....Landon was holding her leash and she pulled it out of his hands and before Allen could catch her they hit her... they didn't even try to miss her either and almost hit us...we carried her home and gave her some Tylenol to calm her down she was going into shock badly and I thought that was it for her...she is alive and doing well and probably has a broken shoulder but I am sure the vet will fix her up good today.

Congrats to Lily!!
And goodluck to maybesoon! Can't wait to hear how it all goes.
AFM, we had an appointment yesterday at the hospital with a lactation consultant about supply issues. She weighed Peter and then had me feed him, and then weighed him again. Basically in the 10 minute feed for each side he got half of what she wants him to get. So definitely some supply issues which is why he's lost so much from his birth weight. He feeds all the time, but isn't getting as much as he should be at each feed. She's started me on some nasty tasting mixture called More Milk Plus, which is supposed to help boost supply/production. So hopefully it does the trick!
Because they're concerned about his weight we go back to the Dr's on Tuesday to get weighed, and then back to the lactation consultant on Thursday to see how the weight gain is going as well.

If it works it'll be totally worth it though!

Sorry your having a hard time with bfing readytomum! Hopefully the nasty tasting stuff will work! When I was bfin Paige I had poor supply! I used nipple hields too so that didnt really help matters!
Momma brown poor Landon having to witness that, and your poor dog I hope she is ok!!!

Candy I'm surprised myself, he has been super fussy these last few days not latching properly and only feeding between 10-40 mins at a time. So I thought he wan getting enough! Apparently I'm wrong lol!!
I asked my midwife to check James for tongue tie actually coz he wasn't latching well and after what you said I was wondering but he said it looks ok and he is probably bein fussy coz we still have thrush. It's difficult to do medication coz he cluster feeds for most of the day! So I know how you feel with sore boobs!
Momma brown so glad your dog is ok x

Readytomum: galactogogues galore for you then! You should ask littlespy for some more recommendations of things you can take.
Mommabrown:
your poor dog. That is absolutely horrific, I really hope she is ok. When they have a broken bone the recovery period can be awful, trying to keep them quiet and resting. But better than the alternative :/
Afm: Isabelle has basically cried all day. She will feed for 5/10 mins, and then sleep for another 5/10 and then scream the house down until its time to feed again. She will stay quiet if she's bounced in our arms, but I really hate doing that as I don't want her to become dependent upon that to fall asleep. I thought maybe she had colic, so got some infacol for her to try and see if it helps her fussy period in the evening. When I gave it to her she acted like I was torturing her
It's been a loooong day. We've been so spoilt with her being so wonderful, and now I feel like I have no idea how to cope within upset baby
