~*Hellooooooooo Indigo!*~

Yesterday morning I had my follow up appointment down the birth centre… What a sweltering waste of time!
The whole birth centre was like a sauna, oh except for the room where they take your blood pressure - a shortlived relief from the heat! I felt sorry for the heavily pregnant women and the babies (including my own) who had to sit in it. We waited for a while then was called and this is how it went:
Consultant: How’s the baby?
Me: He’s fine, doing well.
Consultant: How are you?
Me: Fine too.
Consultant: Are you breastfeeding?
Me: Yes
Consultant: I see you had 2nd degree tearing
Me: No, it was 3rd degree… We had this confusion at the hospital!
Consultant: Ok, well I’ll make you an appointment at the pelvic floor clinic. Bye then.

And that was it!!
From there we did a bit of shopping, bought some cheapy towels to make nappies out of - or rather for Mum to make nappies out of, got back to Mum’s for a light lunch, took the dogs for a walk then went home. Doesn’t sound like much but we left the house at 9am and didn’t get back until 5pm!
Indi was really fussy so I had to take him to bed before 8 but it took an hour for him to settle. I swaddled him and let him nurse to sleep. Thankfully I had the laptop upstairs so I didn’t have to watch boring TV!
He had a GREAT night’s sleep though. Didn’t wake up until midnight-ish, I didn’t have to do anything - he whinged for a few seconds then went back to sleep until 2.30. I changed his nappy, fed him then we slept until about 5. Fed him again and he didn’t stir for another two hours.
I’ve noticed he doesn’t sleep for longer than 3 hours at night, not a problem for me though as he’s by my side the whole time.

Today we’re going to baby group to get him weighed then down to Nancy’s. Jeff’s taking half day so hopefully he’ll join us.

Tomorrow is our first visit to the home education group. Mum’s coming along because she’s thinking about taking Connor out of school. I can’t wait to meet the other HE parents
