Hello everyone, before I tell you about our great day I just want to say, hang in there Holly, things will get better again. And Micky, glad to hear all is well, I couldn't imagine how you must have felt, and how relieved you must be feeling now. My thoughts are with you.
Now, I have to tell you all how wonderful my Little Bear and DH are. The day started as I mentioned earlier, and ended with DH putting Daniel to bed after nearly 200mls of bottle, and no tears! Actually it was 80mls and he fell asleep, so DH put him into bed. But I told him that wasn't enough and he'd be sure to wake, so get him up and feed him some more. I think DH thought I was crazy, after all, he was asleep, but he did as I suggested and Daniel drank about 110mls more! yay! The other 2 feeds weren't quite as successful earlier in the day, but he still managed to take fairly close to what he probably was from me.
Oh and I'd bought some tinned food which we hadn't given him before, it was quite lumpy, Daniel spat it out! So we're going to puree it up tomorrow so as not to waste it. But on another successful note, I made some cheese and bread sticks and he ate 2 of them, not just sucked but ate them. Infact DH let him use one as a spoon to feed him with and he loved it! I may be onto something here. I think it must have been the cheese that helped, so I'll try adding cheese to some other things.
My chest feels like it's got 2 big bricks on it. I'm so solid and achy, even as far up as my neck. I've taken some pain killers and got the milk stop stuff, so hopefully they'll do the trick. We've got DH's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary on Sunday, so I really hope I'm feeling better by then. I may have to express off a little if necessary.
Well, gotta go, very tired and too sore to type.
Oh, did want to mention about what makes Daniel laugh, among the main things like tickling and blowing raspberries, we do pretend sneezes and it sends him into fits of laughter. Ah Ah Ah Choooooooo. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Night night.
