Postpartum recovery

Last pregnancy weight was 92kgs approx.

1 week pp i was 85.5kgs.

2 weeks pp i was 84.5kgs.

3 weeks pp im 83.1kgs.

Postpartum recovery with Liam has been better in many ways than with Cadell, but also worse!

Initally i felt better straight after delivering (went home 7 hrs after birth!) due to fast and uncomplicated delivery.

But then i started having horrible pains in my stomach ( felt like labour pains but constant) which eased only with panedene forte. Went to drs and he did tests, warned about a pp hemorrage, and i had to go back to drs in a few days for results. Ended up with an infection called endometritis. So i was on two strong antibiotics for that.

On top of all this (the unterine infection made my tummy very sore and bleeding worse etc) i have now developed bronchitis i think. Liam has been really good though.

I am just really looking forward to feeling well again and up to doing things. I want to be fit and healthy, dont mind so much about the sleep depravation (although hopefully Liam will just continue to do longer stretches as he has been the angel!) just want to feel like i can pick up Cadell without damaging something!

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

Lately

This little monkey was a bit proud of himself for getting up on his chair!  We spent a morning the other week in the garden with the dogs running round, Cadell loved that and was a little bit sad that he couldn't chase after the dogs! Won't be long before he is though... Its been a funny week as Matt has been off sick all week. I find it difficult to stick to my usual schedule when he's home, so I don't feel like everything has got done. But that is ok. Matt's birthday tomorrow, not sure what we are doing for it yet, maybe go out for a later lunch (after Cadell wakes up from his nap) and not too much else as he is still not 100%.  Only 1 more week (next week) of school, and then the following week I will work 1 day and the other 2 days Cadell will stay in Daycare and I have a long long list of Spring Cleaning/Decluttering to get done. I have started on it a tiny bit already as there is so much I want to get done. The week after that, I have the f...
