Nothing much to report today. Was a nice simple day. Just did a tiny bit of housework and looked after Summer. My parents came in the evening to stay the night and it was the first time that my dad met Summer. So that was nice. Mental Health called and they want to send someone around on Monday. Not really looking forward to it, but I want them off my back. So once they have been and seen for themselves that I don’t need them, they can bugger off!!

Tried a little spot of Breast Feeding today. Might keep giving it a little shot, you never know what it might lead too…..tho I think that the Hospital ruined my chances. Which makes me sad. I am tired. I will be doing the late feeds tonight and Rick will do the early morning one of about 6:30am ish. I don’t know how mothers who exclusively breast feed manage. It is something to admire!

Was okay. I tried to sleep in a little, in between Summers feeds. I got some more housework done whilst she slept. The Mental Health place called me again and kinda made me agree to come in to see one of their case workers just to make sure everything was going okay etc, to rule out any other problems that might be lurking. When Rick called me to say he was on his way home, I told him that they’d called and he was pretty angry, saying no I won’t be going, there is no need too and it’s going to be too difficult with a newborn too and that they originally said that they would be able to send someone around to our house.

So when Rick got home, he called them and cancelled that appointment and they said that they would call me about coming around to the house to visit instead. Which to be honest with you, I don’t bloody want either. I just want to be left the hell alone. The more people that I have on my back like this, the more my confidence in being a new mum falls. And that is NOT what I need!!!

I actually cooked my first meal in ages. It was nice. But my appetite isn’t that hearty at the moment. Rick bought the electric bottle warmer today too
It is making things sooo much easier!!! We are basically feeding around the 3/4 hourly mark, but because Summers feeding is so sporadic at the moment, it’s hard to know when to have a bottle ready (we keep them ready to go in fridge daily). So the electric warmer gets it ready for you, whilst you changed nappy and clean bubby up. Yes……it’s a luxury……but it’s saving water for us……and time…….and our sanity…….and I am happy to use it whilst we can. Who wouldn’t be???!!!
