Hello Princess,
I'm at the hospital visiting you, expressing my milk, surprise, surprise! I raced in for your 9am feed today and only just made it.
I have to say, you have changed so much every day! Today your nose isn't as squished as it used to be, your little toes are still pretty crooked though! I told your dad last night that I was going to tape them together so they straighten out when we get you home. I would hate for you not to be able to wear sandals because you were too embarrassed about your crooked toe!
You are also much more animated too! You are giving me lots of little facial expressions and almost smiles!
Last night was the first night at home without you. I felt my throat tighten as soon as we were driving home. I was a bit apprehensive about going home, and when I finally got home, it took all my will not to cry.
When I saw your room, I held my breath but then decided to express in your room so I felt like I was close to you and relaxed (apparently that helps the milk come through) I was able to get 35mls!! I couldn't believe it! That morning, I struggled to get 4mls!
I was pretty chuffed because you need 35mls per feed every 3 hours, although that was before, now you are up to 54mls today, so let's see how we go!
Everyone pissed me off yesterday, except for your dad. Your Auntie Robyn decided to come and see me, she rang me but I didn't answer because I was expressing, so she rang the hospital to find out if I was still there, they got put through to your ward and the silly midwife told them there had been a "development" and to contact your father.
She called your grandpa to see if they had heard anything and they said they hadn't so she decided to drive to the hospital. Such a mess. Your dad finally spoke to her and called the hospital to see if you were OK, and you were. All this stress because your auntie tried to get involved. It was so frustrating.
Then your grandpa called and tried telling me he was coming over for dinner on Friday and I tried telling him just to wait because I didn't know if you were going to be home yet. Then your grandma called to say I did the wrong thing by coming home and I should have stayed in the hospital with you. I cracked it and told her I was your mother and I would do anything I felt was OK.
I was pretty worried though yesterday morning when the nurse said I was going home because I wasn't able to express using the pump, but when I found out I could, I was over the moon!
Anyway, expressing time is over
Love you bub
Mum
