The future! New Blog announcement

Hello everyone. Way back in July 2011 I started this blog more for my own peace of mind and as a memory keeper. As it went on more and more I suddenly realized I had 10000 viewers!!!!! How amazing. I really relished typing my thoughts and getting emails from people stating how much they related to my posts.

As the pregnancy drew to an end I realized, I really like doing this. This cannot be the end! So I am pleased to announce that I will be blogging on a new updated blinged out blog about raising 2 girls and the challenges and rewards of this. The site will be live from tomorrow and features an RSS feed.

The website domain will be released on a post tomorrow morning.

Watch this space and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you xxx

Wear light colours please

Seriously ladies. Even if it is middle of winter, don't wear dark coloured tops if you are breast feeding. I have leaked through several tops now. Usually when my daughter cries I get a sudden "whoosh"feeling as my milk lets down and I slowly feel my bra fill up. I have pads in my bra for such an incident but I have that much milk that it still leaks when they get saturated.

It feels so grose. It's hard to feel clean when this happens. I mop it up but it is still grose.

Light coloured tops don't show up the leaks as much as dark tops so you may need to alter your wardrobe a bit.

Coming home

It is now Wednesday 22nd Feb. today is going home day. Typically you get 48 hrs in the hospital for a normal birth. I was actually allowed home a little early. I actually checked out at noon. So there is a mountain of paperwork you have to go through. It's almost like the closing on a house. There are several tests also done on your baby. One is a hearing test. Thankfully mine passed with flying colours. There are also some vaccines given and your child's jaundice levels will be checked.

Mine was a little yellow but not enough to warrant worry. Breasted babies do take a little longer to get the right billuribin levels.

I had a shower which was the best friggin shower in the world! It was not the nicest looming shower but oh my god after feeling as mucky as a pigs scrotum it was AMAZING!!!!!! I just stood there sighing at the fact I could finally have water hotter than my own spit. It was kinda grose at the same time as I was washing my belly and it was all wobbly and hollow. Really not a good look. I didn't care though as I was up and walking. It felt so good to be Independent.

Once I was ready I got baby ready and we were ready to go home. I swear it was more hassle taking my dog home from the shelter than it was taking my baby home lol!
