Hi Psychick
I'm good thanks. A bit knackered and sore boobs but otherwise ok. Spencer is 3 weeks old today, I'm not too sure where the time has gone!
He sleeps well at night, feeding every four hours which allows me & mr_woo to get some sleep. The days are harder as he doesn't sleep & gets very fretful in the afternoons cos he's so tired, he also feeds every 1.5 - 2 hours during the day which is tiring.
The HV is happy with his progress, he's gaining weight well. Birth weight was 8lb 9oz & he's now 9lb 2oz.
mr_woo goes back to work on Monday which is gonna be strange & scary. I have no idea what I'm going to do all day, I'm quite worried. I'll probably be on here a lot asking a hundred silly questions.
Hope you and the bump are well x

Hey Psychick - thanks for asking!
Motherhood is fun but also stressful at times!
Mia is two weeks today and is feeding (and pooing!) a lot more regulary! Breastfeeding is now going fine but i'm exhausted a lot of the time!
Have had the odd 'baby blue' moment and shed a few tears mainly when she;s screaming her nut off and i feel i can't cope!
Like pixie, i'm slightly apprehensive about when karl goes back to work... but also think it will give me more time to become independent and grow individually.
Overall Mia is a good baby though and is only waking once or twice during the night. She already makes me laugh so much - her red face from straining and mainly her facial expressions when she's got wind - when she has a massive smile on her face and all i can see are her gums! lol.
I still look at her it complete an utter awe and cant believe she's mine!!! She's what we created!! I'm already sad about the thought of her growing up!!! :o( lol.

Im glad to hear things are going well for you both! Tired with sore boobs...yup, that brings it all back now! lol
My daughter was under the weather and I had rough night with her last night. I said to my boyfriend "its like having a baby in the house again" then though oh poo! 6 more months and I will be going through it all again! lol
nat, I suffered from PND and I will be honest and say it didnt really start til the father was back at work and my mum (who had stayed with me the first 3 weeks as she lived 200 miles away) had gone home.......so when I was on my own. I used to take a walk into town everyday just for the fresh air and change of scene. A way to help deal with the crying and not settling down to sleep, I would just keep telling myself she will stop crying and go to sleep eventually, she cant do it for much longer. I dont know why but it seemed to help keep me calm and more importantly....keep my sanity!
Me and my bump are well, thanks for asking pixie_woo. Ive got my first scan and bloodtest on Tuesday! Im excited and extremely nervous! lol Oh and nat.......my daughter is 6 yrs and I still sometimes find it amazing she is mine!
