Tyler is one month old today. He was 8lb15oz on Wednesday, which is perfectly ok, but he is growing very fast. He's still really cute as well, Chris has said he's seen him smile but I haven't yet. It could have been wind anyway. I took him in Campus on Thursday, and as he'd already pooped just before we went out I didn't think he would shit again for a while.
But I was very wrong. And this one was messy, it got absolutely EVERYWHERE, and I didn't bring the poor kid any spare clothes so he had to make do with the spare clothes Campus put out on the baby changing thing in the toilets. All we could find that wasn't really dirty was a tiny white babygro, and a vest that was a bit small, so we put the vest on him and Annlou cut the feet off the babygro so he coiuld wear it. He looked funny as he looked like a baby hobo with a raggy sleepsuit on lol.
I really enjoy being a mam, and it's not that hard once you get used to it. I just need to remember things when we go out like spare clothes and other random stuff. I got shouted at and told I need to be more organised. This coming from someone who's never had a child so they dont know that having a new baby is so hectic your heads stuffed up your arse half the time and smalls mistakes can be made.
Me myself, without Tyler, is not so good still. I dont understand why its taking so long to recover, and now on top of the healing and pain around the scar, the site in my back where the epidural went aches all the time, from what I've read its a common thing. The midwife is still coming out, I dont think I should still be having that "baby blues" thing 4 weeks after having the baby. I have an appointment at the hospital to see two people who were in charge when Tyler was born, and they're gonna debrief me, like fill in the gaps, all the bits missing from my own version of events in hope that it's gonna make me feel better about how it turned out.
Then there's all my other issues still there, the ones I stupidly thought I would never think about again after Tyler was born *sigh* nevermind. I dont wanna talk about them, I have other things to think about.
