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!

Things Cadell says

I want to remember the way Cadell says things at this age, I guess the best way is to video but I haven't been getting to do that as much so I thought I'd write them down. His favorite thing at the moment is Helicopters, considering the rescue choppers fly overhead here 3+ times a day it's not surprising. The way he says it is " E - tot - ta".

Beach

Our trip to the beach at Redcliffe this weekend.

Today

I wish it didn't feel so difficult to update this regularly.  I feel like  I have missed all these opportunities to record little things that I will want to remember when I am older. I have to say though it is much easier and quicker to type than to write with pen and paper, I guess thats cos Im a lefty. Liam has done a few nights in a row now of sleeping 12-13 hours straight, he goes back and forth with the sleeping but hoping this is it and he has finally settled into a routine. Cadell is talking so much more these days, will attempt almost any word and comes out with things that we think 'where did he get that from?' They have very good listening despite me feeling as though he never listens to me especially when i say No!! Liam is waking up now from his nap. Here are a few photos
