As the title suggests my hormones yet again have been just amazing!! (I had a similar post back in Dec 2006 ranting about my crying!) Last week was quite bad and all could think of was how was I going to get through this week and the following weeks without Liam being here to help. Plus Millies weight dropped to 7lb 6oz which is fine but after the problems we had with Martha I am paranoid! She was weighed again by Tina (midwife) last Thurs and had put on an ounce so was happier then. Health Visitor came today and she is now back up to her birth weight so a lot happier. Also without having Xmas and New Year to screw us over with weigh ins I am sure we will be able to keep on top of things this time.
The weeks while Liam was at home were good, we had his family down a couple of weekends ago which was nice but also quite busy with having Erin (just turned 1) here aswell. My hormones were pretty bad that weekend and then carried on into last week but hopefully things are settling down a bit now! The end of last week was a lot better and I did have a couple of moments over the weekend but nothing like what it had been like. Also today has been my first day with Liam back in work and no tears, apart from a teeny moment this morning with Liam. So quite pleased about that. I think if today had been bad then it wouldn't have set me up well for the week. Not sure who is going to find it harder Liam or me, I think we will both have good days and bad days and we knew this was going to be hard but things will settle down again and I am sure we will cope. If we were in Hounslow I would still be on my own for the majority of the day and night feeds I would be doing because Liam would be in work next day. Having family close by is going to make a big difference and also starting to get to know people in the area now too which is good.
Last weekend we invited a couple of the neighbours round to toast Millie, both Liam and I were very nervous about doing it but it was a good couple of hours and we were both glad we did it. Especially as two of the girls have now become Marthas new best friends!! They are 8 and 10 and want to play with Martha loads which is nice as it keeps her occupied. Also while Liam was putting up our new shed with my Dad on Sat the future son-in-law from across the road came over and started helping. These sorts of things would never have happened in Hounslow. Its just so nice to know the people who you live near and also I now feel like I could actually call on a neighbour if I needed to.
So the rest of the week is going to be busy and I think I will try to keep my weeks like that as staying in all day is no good for anyone. Sure I will have bad days but hopefully more good ones than bad!!
Off to do some household chores now while the two M's are settled. Will put some pics on soon when I take some!!!
