Hey girls, how is everyone?
Sorry I've not been on for a while. Have had my mum up to stay for a week, then one of my sisters and 2 of my nieces came to stay so it's been a bit of a full house!!
Tina- you'll be really missed on here. I hope you enjoy your travelling and you and your OH just concentrate on being together and enjoying each others' company. I hope you'll still be able to pop on here from time to time.
Nat- what did your OH make of the match then? Not the most exciting by the sound of it, but a good point
How are you feeling at the moment? Not long now until your midwife appointment is it?
Well, I'm starting to feel a lot more like my old self. I was finally discharged from midwife care on Friday which was a relief as it meant I must be getting better, but it made me feel a bit sad in a strange way. It's weird to have midwives be such a big part of your life for so long, and then they're suddenly not there. Sounds stupid I know, but the midwives I saw throughout my pregnancy and in hospital were so lovely. Makes me feel sad that I'll probably never see them again- because of the complications I had during labour, birth and afterwards, it's unlikely that we'll be having any more children.
Alex is doing fantastically well. He's gaining weight and growing beautifully. He seems to be changing so much every day, becoming more alert and being able to focus on things further away. He even lifted his head right off my shoulder this morning, to look at his daddy
OH and I left him for the first time yesterday, to go to the match. I was in tears all the way to Old Trafford but I'm glad I did it. Alex was an angel for our friend (who used to be a nanny so is probably even better qualified to look after him than us lol) and she gave him 2 feeds with my expressed milk, so he seems to have no problem feeding both from me and a bottle 
It did OH and I good to have some couple time together too so all in all, yesterday was a big success. Tomorrow will be the first day at home where I've not had either my OH or mum with me so it will be a bit strange, but I know I need to start thinking about getting into some sort of routine with being able to go out with him and in a week or two, looking at a couple of mother and baby groups so I'm not shutting myself in the house all day every day. I feel a bit uneasy about feeding in public so I may well take a bottle of expressed milk out with me on occasions, unless I'm going to a place like the Trafford Centre, where I know they have dedicated feeding rooms.
Anyway, enough of my ramble! Here are a couple of recent photos of my boy

You must be very proud. Glad you are feeling better yourself now too 
Early scan is next Monday and I'm dreading it but at the same time wish it would hurry up 
I just need to know now.
This is about the time our last little bean stopped developing and I'm scared to death it's going to happen again girls 
Have gone off a few foods too and struggle to finish my evening meal most nights at the mo, just get halfway through and don't want any more. Do also have some slight tenderness coming and going in boobs and nips too but not a lot. I am amazed though how un-bloated I am this time 
Nat that's great news! Can't wait to see the scan pics!
