Hi Ladies
Beautiful pic Jewelz, I am guessing girl
Horsey, I know its hard hun espically being the only TTC on here but were all here for you, we have all been round the block TTC and having losses and now have good stories to tell. Your time will come and we'll all be here for you xxxxxxxxxxxx HUGS.
Hope all my other ladies are doing well.
Matilda is getting bigger by the day, shes 7lb 11 now (so put on a whole pound) and is finally fitting into all her clothes. I'll be honest and say motherhood hasnt come to me like I thought it would.
During the day its great and we have a little routine of somewhat, but nighttimes are near impossible, she will cry for hours for no real reason (we have fed, changed, cuddled and rocked her) and she just still crys. Its awful as we are so tired and this can go on till 2am and me and OH are shattered
I know shes still very small and that eventually this will stop but it is HARD, and during these night time frenzys I am all for giving up breastfeeding, putting her on a bottle and letting her sort herself out....I know that may sound awful but breastfeeding at night is a real toughy for me, and we are maybe looking at introducing one formula feed just so she settles down a little for us.
Anyway she is doing well in all other areas, gaining weight, nice smelly poos and wet nappys. Took her out today for the first time to the local shopping centre, it went ok. We were only out for a few hours as I dont feel comfy feeding in public and didnt have anything expressed but it was nice to have a little normality back.
I couldnt have done this without my OH he has been great with Matilda and she loves him so much and settles for him really well. He does the majority of her nappy changes although he gets so frustraited with babygrows and all the poppers lol.
I think I may be suffering the occasional post baby blues but I am feeling loads better today then yesterday, so lets hope things are looking up, I feel like I am being so selfish as its all about me and how I feel, I love my baby girl to pieces though and wouldnt change her for the world.
