Hello .
I used to go here, I was a very active member.. Some of you ladies may remember me *waves*. Hope I'm okay to post a little thread update as I didn't write a birth story.
Almost three months post partum here! & it's safe to say I've been sucked into the world of motherhood hence the inactivity. I won't bore you to much with details but to summarise.. The labour was fast. 6 hours all in. Was told to wait it out at home after an hour of contractions at 4AM by 7AM I arrived at hospital fully dilated & Max was born at 8:58AM, weighing 7lbs 7oz on 2nd of June 2015. If anyone wants to know more details, I'm happy to elaborate.. Moving on, at 10 days old Max had lost 14% of his weight & we were readmitted to hospital where we remained for the next two & a half weeks. He spent some time in NICU. It was the most tiring, awful & stressful time in my life. Happy to say he is completely well now & is gaining weight.
We are still adjusting to our new lives & getting to know each other. He is the best little guy ever! My fiancee is back at work now.. He wishes he wasn't but Max & I look forward to seeing him at the end of the day. Yes, I finally got that ring, some of you may remember me talking about picking it out.. Someone requested a picture of it awhile back, I'll attach it below. Baby feeds like a champ. I am currently mix feeding as I was struggling to keep up with the demanding feeding plan the hospital had him on, my body just couldn't do it. He takes both bottle & breast great though, I only have one tiny problem.. I'm a bit lopsided . Does this fix its self in time? Another issue is he will not go down at all! He won't sleep in his moses basket, or anywhere! The minuet I put him down he wakes up and starts screaming with equals a very tired frustrated me..
I'm looking forward to catching up with all of you & reading the stories I've misssd. Sorry for not being around much.. I just haven't had a minuet. Here's a little picture of my ring for those interested .
