Britt-If you're reading this (probably not but just in case) I honestly do not know what to say.
I am truly devastated for you. I cannot believe this has happened. I am so so sorry

Thank you for letting us know Linds xx

Wow, I had a whole huge post, and windows 7 and my new laptop lost it!

F U new laptop!

Anyways, I am so sorry to hear about Britt and her little girl, and I really hope a miracle will occur and she will pull through.

Sherri, it really stinks to lose a long post.

I managed o get a decent chunk of sleep, but my breasts were so engorged Jill couldn't get a proper latch, so she screamed her head off. After pumping and giving her 2oz she still wants more. Good thing it's working now.

Yesterday I had a follow-up appt. with the MW and I got cleared to exercise. My uterus is back to normal and my stomach muscles look good after the incision. I still have 10lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight, but it should be manageable. Ideally, I'd like to drop another 30lbs, but who am I kidding? If only I can feed her and exercise. Actually, I might be able to on the stationary bike

 

[Jenni4]

[Jenni4]

Congratulations Emzee!!! I think we have all had our babies now right? Well done girls! Sorry your birth was a bit traumatic...glad you and Jaycob are okay...can't wait to see pics!

 

[caz_hills]

Congratulations Emzee! Would love to read your birth story when you are up to writing it. Hope you are recovering well. xx

 

[melissasbump]

Congratulations Emzee! Sorry it was a trumatic time for you but glad you are both home now.
Jenni, your stomach looks fab how have you done that! i still look pregnant at the moment, am quite gutted as didnt think it would be quite so bad after two weeks!

Hope everyone is ok.

Worst night since the brth last night, Harrison didnt go back to sleep properly after the 2am feed and i have no idea why, he was grizzley for the rest of the night and im so knackered now, i thought we were getting in the start of a pretty good routine, now i just think im doing everything wrong.

 

[mummySS]

Congrats Emzee! Yay our last beach bump baby! Sorry it was such a traumatic experience, you will heal and it'll all be worth it.

Jen your stomach looks fab! Mel don't worry I still look 6 months pregnant and can't see it shifting anytime soon!

Still thinking about Britt and feeling sad for her. Xxx

You're not doing anything wrong babies love to make us think we've got the routine down then they keep us up all night! Naomi went through a phase of only waking every 4 hours for feeding then going straight back down- now she's up all night and sleeping all day arrgh!

Fab pics Jenni!! I'm jealous!!! x

 

[Jenni4]

The only thing I can think of is that he is eating it all off of me...I just don't have a lot of time to eat with two kids and I made a rule to never eat and bf at the same time...since I'm always feeding him I never get to eat! Haha!! The skin is really loose and floppy though needs to firm up again, but hopefully as the weight comes off it will smooth out. Still in maternity clothes, not even close to fitting into my old pants

Don't be too hard on yourself Mel...I think it is still too early to expect a routine...

Thinking about britt too...i don't get why stuff like this happens...

 

[caz_hills]

Amazing pics Jenni! Your tummy looks fabulous!

I still can't post pictures as my stretch marks are so horrific - but maybe will do soon. My tummy seems to have gotten a lot flatter when I was breast feeding and I only have a stone to lose (I have lost a stone and half) but now I'm not BF'ing I think I will only lose it through exercise and healthy eating! Damn it.... Plus none of my clothes fit me still so have ordered some clothes in the next size up which are being delivered today. I need to wear something different as I've run out of stuff!!

Mel - I think we have Ajay in sort of a routine but the Health Visitor said to me that they don't really have routines yet so I'm just hoping he won't break the routine we have as we can kind of cope with the sleep we're having at the moment.

[melissasbump]

Caz we were the same re the kind of routine and doing ok on the sleep we have. I know its early to expect anything too much think im just a bit tired today and its brought me down a bit. The parents are staying tonight so should get a bit of a break x x

 

[caz_hills]

Ah Mel, poor you. I hope your folks help out tonight and you can get a good rest. My MIL offered today to stay over one night and do the night feeds for us - I'm banking that for a night when I feel terrible! Hope you feel better after a better nights sleep.

Fingers crossed on the routine - I hope Ajay sticks to his as it's sort of managable at the moment so I just hope it lasts!
