27TH FEBUARY 2008

WOW WOT AN AMAZING WK THIS HAS BEEN, THE EMOTIONS AND THE FEELING OF LOVE IM HAVING FOR MY FAMILY IS OVERWHELMING. ALSO IM CRYING AT EVERYTHING, EVEN THE THOUGHTS OF HOPE SITTING DRAWING IN THE HALL ON HER OWN MAKE ME WEEP, BUT SHE IS QUITE HAPPY DOING IT! LOOKING BACK AT MY PREGNANT PHOTOS MADE ME CRY BEFORE LOL AND I WOULDNT MIND THE PREGNANCY KILLED ME LMAO!!

4th MARCH 2008

ITS NOW COMING UPTO WEEK TWO SINCE IV GIVEN BIRTH TO MY BOYS, WOW HOW QUICK IT HAS GONE! JUST TO THINK THAT 14 DAYS AGO THEY WERE STILL INSIDE ME AND KICKING ME TO DEATH.

WE HAVE STOPPED BREASTFEEDING AS IT WAS FAR TO MUCH FOR ME TO DO ALL ALONE, AND THE PAIN WAS TOO MUCH. I MISS IT THOUGH AS IT MAKES YOU BOND WITH YOUR BABIES MUCH BETTER AND YOU FEEL WARM AND COSY WHEN FEEDING THEM. ITS AN AMZING FEELING IF YOU CAN DO IT. THE BOTTLE FEEDING IS SLOWING COMING ALONG NOW TOO, PLUS EVERYONE ELSE CAN HELP FEED.

IZAAK AND ALFIE ARE SO ADORABLE AND ARE REALLY GOOD BABIES, WE ARE MANAGING TO GET ABOUT 3-4HRS OFF THEM BEFORE FEEDS. THE NIGHT FEEDS ARE A KILLER, BUT IM SURE WE WILL GET USED TO IT SOON ENOUGH.

ALAN MY PARTNER GOES BACK TO WORK NEXT WEEK WHICH IM DREADING ALL THE THOUGHTS OF CAN I COPE AND WILL I BE ABLE TO GET HOPE TO SCHOOL ON TIME WITHOUT GETTING STRESSED OUT ARE ALL PLAYING ON MY MIND! HE IS TRYING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB COZ THIS ONE HE HAS IS SHIFT WORK AND HE WORKS A NIGHT SHIFT, THAT IS GONNA BE A KILLER FOR US BOTH. SO HOPEFULLY HE CAN FIND A DAYTIME JOB BEFORE WE END UP GETTING TIRED AND ANNOYED WITH EACH OTHER. ITS SO SCAREY!!!

WELL THOSE ARE MY BAD THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, IM HOPING THAT THEY AREA ALL NORMAL AND THAT THINGS DONT GET TO THE STAGE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP EACH OTHER THROUGH THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

I WOULD NOT SWOP MY BABIES FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD THEY ARE MY WORLD AND EVERY BREATH I TAKE. I LOVE THE CUDDLES,THE SMELL OF THEM, THE WAY THEY LOOK UP AT ME, EVERYHTING ABOUT THEM WE MADE TOGETHER AND WANT US TO EXPERIENCE IT ALL TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

ALFIE JUST FEEDS ALL THE TIME EVERY SORT OF 2-3 HRS SO I FEEL LIKE A MILKING MACHINE. IM GLAD IV STOPPED BREASTFEEDINF COZ OTHERWISE WITH THE WAY ALFIE FEEDS I WUD NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE OR BE ABLE TO SLEEP.
