Hes here finally!!! Mood
Sunday, August 31, 2008 | A General Update story

My baby boy was born this week Aug 27th. It was a very quick labour. Only 5 hours from start to finish. I lost a lot of blood again.1700ml! It was a bit hairy but other than that all went well. He is 8p11oz. So Gorgy. He has dark hair and dark blue eyes. Sleeping at the mo.

 

Mind you the last few nights have been a bit stressful. He has been really restless during the night. Not sleeping well and feeding so often. I am at a loss at what to do. My other babies were not this restless. And when he cries and wont settle I feel like I am not doing a good enough job. I know thats not true but man What else can I do.

 

In hospital I didnt ask for much help coz I thought well I have had 3 other kids I should be fine. Even though its been 5 yrs since my last baby before now. I thought if I asked for help they would look down on me. Stupid I know. Thats just how I felt

    Not all babies react the same. I found with my third, which took me a little while to figure out, she loved to cuddle right up snuggled in my neck, upright most of the time, but when she had enough, she wanted her space.


    Relax, it's been awhile, but remember it will take both of you a few days to a couple of weeks to figure out his style.


    Congratulations! Enjoy this time, I truly miss it (minus the lack of sleep).

    oh wow CONGRATS!!!! Very exiting. After 5 years there are some things I am sure you just don't remeber so don't feel bad! My youngest was 3 1/2 when the baby was born and even I was tyrying to remeber everything! LOL GOOD LUCK!!!!
