Hi all,
Brai, hope Max's thrush clears quickly and your DD's ear infection as well, you must be manic at the moment dealing with all that.
Celtic, hope your thrush clears soon - can't be comfortable.
Tankit, hope Kirima developes a more helpful sleep pattern soon, I know from DS1 how exhausting it is when the decide not to play ball re day and night patterns.
Shell, glad Masons doing so well now - I do love his hair, he looks like a right little rebel.
Sorry I haven't caught up on everyone, been trying to read but mainly on the phone which is a nightmare to post from - having a rare 5 mins where I have laptop on Lyndon is asleep (though threatening to wake) Jacob has gone to the Childminder and OH has gone to work so actually getting to breath.
I can't believe my little man was born a week ago today - where has that time gone - its odd in some ways it feels like yesterday and in others it feels like a lifetime ago. Lyndons swelling took a few days to go down and he finally opened his eyes at 3 days old, bless him the whites of his eyes were badly bruised but are starting to settle now. his skin was really sore as well and again it was day 3 before he enjoyed being cuddled but his face is still a bit sore and we are having to put olive oil on as frequently as we can. He is feeding well and starting to space his feeds out from hourly, I am thinking of doing some pumping more to work out how to use the thing and in anticipation of actually being able to go out at some point in the future even if it is just for a swim or our postponed valentines meal / movie date we've promised ourselves. As for sleeping we are co-sleeping and that is going well, he hasn't quite mastered the self service aspect of feeding but is making good attempts. So whilst I'm not getting full nights sleeps I am getting more than I was expecting to at this time and enough to get through to early evening before I feel like I could flake out, the down side of this is that I keep trying to do too much and am probably not taking the time to rest and recover that I should.
