Lol I know what you mean - a nap to do the washing up is about right!!
Breast pads - am going through loads of them I leak all the time! Apparently this settles down at about 6 weeks along with everything else so you'll not need them indefinitely!!
Ley cute kissy photo I love it
Wine I know how you feel I had 2 huge tears internally and a substantial episiotomy which I subsequently split! I'd say only in the last few days have I started to feel a tiny bit better down there. I seriously had car crash fanny it was a mess! Again I reckon by our 6 week check things should be looking up as it were. Just keep up the painkillers and lavender baths and teatree oil washes and am sure you'll heal really well.

oh and the mattress maternity pads helped cushion it for me
I really appreciate how lucky I am with O being able to latch tho he is a fussy latcher. Have you tried lying down with him next to you I find it much easier much less stressful and nicer on your bits not to have to sit on them! You can position him right in front of your nipple then and I found it easier to get him to latch that way. Oh and are you using lansinoh cream on your nipples
As you said tho if you can't do it then you tried and you got some of the most important stuff in him and that's great going
I just wish I could get some more sleep tho! OH has been back at work now since last wed and tho we're lucky cos he can work from home and my mum is staying this week I still miss him like crazy and he misses us poor boy. I am dreading next week tho! Eek all on my own then!!
