Seriously, all is well. Holly is doing brilliantly.. and is now nearly 12 pounds and feeds like a monster. She is such a HUGE baby I am not used to it but she is truly gorgeous and a really good little girl.
Ella is being the best Big Sister ever. There has been no jealousy and she is still just SO chuffed with her little sister. It is really lovely to watch her relationship with her unfold. All the guilt that I had before having Holly for Ella has gone as I just know that Ella loves her. And we have had the funniest moments with Ella trying to get her head around me breast feeding with comments such as “...so Mummy there is milk in your boobies? Should I go and get a straw??” and “.. if there is milk in your boobies Mummy where is the lid?” and my personal favourite, “.. I know Mummy why don’t you have another baby and I can feed it with my boobies!”
Yes it has been tough. You forget how hard work it is having this little thing who needs you 24/7, and then you have a 3 year old who still wants cuddles, you to take her for a wee, make her Cheesy Pasta.
Post- Natally I have been really well, unfortunately I have got low and that gave me a Sinus Infection and then last week I had 2 migraines. But I am getting there... and really must stop telling Greg I am tired!!! OF COURSE I am.
My brilliant best mate Jo has been over twice to bring me lunch and keep my spirits up and I am on the phone to my Mum every day. Moral support is all around! At least this time around you know it only gets better and easier!
We are slowly, but surely, getting into our groove. Holly is putting on just under a pound a week!!! YES A POUND! And life is getting into a whole new normality. I think the biggest thing to get my head around is having a HUGE baby rather than a little one... and that is the amount of milk it takes to get her full... phewie..
So until next time.. and my lil’ one being just a bit larger and a few more broken night sleep... zzzzzzzzz
