Just wanted to post that our baby Kai Adeboje was born today at 18:54, after 15 hours of labour. It wasn't the greatest experience, and with most things it didnt go to plan. But both mother and baby are doing well. Will post details later
Congratulations hun x
Well, I have just dragged out the Medela Breast Pump, and my hand pump, and all my breast milk storage bottles to giv em all a good wash in the dishwasher! Got the bottle warmer, bottles and steriliser all ready tonight too just in case breast feeding fails me again like last time! I REALLY hope I can BF sucessfully this time, it would be great!
I dont plan on expressing at first but it dawned on me that it had all been sat packed on boxes since Riley was 9 weeks old (he's 2yrs and 3 months now lol). I figured it'd be a bit grotty and in need of a good wash!
I am starting to feel like I am actually prepared to be a mummy again now, things are coming together nicely! I am aching to get my pram put together and set up, but Mat sensibly keeps reminding me that I cant be trusted not to take it out to test it with no baby in it haha! I have had it together once to see it was all in working order, but then we packed it all back in the box and sealed it up lol!
Also trying out the baby monitor by having it in Rileys room tonight, its an Angelcare one, second hand but it was free and works a treat! So all good!!!
It has one of those movement sensor pads with it too, I was not keen on using that tho in case It makes me paranoid, plus baby will be in with us for the first 6 months anyways lol!
I have had a very hiccuppy baby tonight too, feels like every hiccup is echoing thru my bits tho, and some have been quite painful lol. this little one has a lot to answer for when he or she arrives haha! I imagine all will be forgiven tho
I am so happy to have Mat off work for a while, He has his summer leave from stupid army stuff and then adds his 2 weeks Paternity leave on the top so it means I am getting spoiled with my Mr B attention! It seems odd to think I'll have him at home for so long in one run lol!
Think its probs time for bed now! Not got much planned for tomorrow (technically today I guess at this hour lol), Maybe a spot of food shopping, and a walk round the barracks with the dog to see if I can wriggle my little monkey out! heehee!
Night night all who are in sleep time, and for those in other time zones Goodmorning/afternoon or Maybe Hello is easier haha!
Hope we're all well
