A little blip!

Well Millie is now 7 weeks old and Liam has been back in work 5 weeks and all well. Almost! Monday was one of those days where I didn't really have anything planned but was quite happy about that but after 2 hours of Millie feeding on me I lost the plot. I think for a few days upto that point I had been worrying that Millie was not getting enough from me, even though she was having top ups. Of course with Marthas early weight issues running through my mind too paranoia was setting in. Not good. Martha was testing the boundaries a little bit too so everything just getting to me a little. Of course when Millie was weighed on Tues she had put on a healthy 6 and half ounces, great. Although something had to be done as I could not go on sitting there for 2 hours constantly feeding, not with Martha to deal with and wanting to be amused. Didn't know whether to give up with the breastfeeding or carry on, half of me wanted to do give up and half of me didn't want to give in!! So anyway I have decided now not to stress too much about things and I am carrying on with the breastfeeding but if Millie is still hungry then she gets a little top up. If my milk dries up through this then I will give up but at least I will have tried. Plus Martha needs me too I am a mother of two now not a newborn only! Will let you know how it goes.
I had a couple of days with my parents this week too which was lovely and helped me too. Its so good having them close by, not sure how I would be coping if we were still living in Hounslow.
Not a lot of other news really, Liam and I are going out tomorrow night for a meal and a couple of drinks, nothing mad really as I am feeding but just a chance to be the 2 of us. Nice having parents close, we went out for our anniversary in the summer, aside from that not sure when we went out the two of us. Looking forward to it.
Will put some pics on here soon, doing better with that lately though don't you think?
