Ouchie

I am so sore. Took Theo out in his pram for the first time this week and must have walked far too much. Getting in and out of bed feels like I have just had the section and my back is really sore. So, the little bear has gone to his grandma and grandads today so I can rest up. I missed him the second he left which is funny because the other day when my mum had him all day, I was worried that although I love him more than anything, I coped fine with him being away and didn't miss him too much. Maybe because I had time to prepare and knew he was going to be out I suppose.

Clinic is tomorrow but Theo is getting heavy. He now fits in first size clothes and 0-3 vests and baby gros. I find outfits that are 0-3 are far too big right now but a woman at breastfeeding group said the same about the sizes, her baby needs the next size up baby gro and vest to the clothes he is wearing. I'm now combi-feeding as I am run down as it is but no day is the same. Sunday, Theo had no formula whatsoever, but today he will be having more as I didn't have a frozen breast milk supply. I am making a supply today while he is out.

I guess today, at least I can get my assignment typed up without getting disturbed and sent away then just lie around, have a nap, eat decent food but I do feel at a loss!

Fighting with time




Aw my little bear is a month old already :) :( Time is going way too fast! He is nearly smiling properly now, they are getting more and more in response to kisses or toys so much more social. He loves his baths and snuggles and he is one trendy little dude.

After being weighed at 6lb 6oz, a week later he was 6lb 14oz and this week he was 7lb 8oz! Despite his weight, he is still a diddy little thing. We are tired but loving it. Theo is a good sleeper and only really gripes when he has wind. Tonight he is on his first adventure at my mum's by himself. He will be back soon. Lee and I have both felt like we were missing our right arm but its been nice to chill for a bit.

Ellie is looking after this bambino well and I love her millions for taking such good care of him! I am nearly healed enough to drive and things so good all around!
