Hi Everyone, The First Month was pretty eventful after I got out of the hospital I was determined to breast feed Charlotte but I hit a snag in that idea as I got Gastro and was not allowed near her to feed her. AD and I did try to express my milk but I was so sick that we could not get anything out, so at 3 am on the Monday morning after I had come out of the hospital AD decided to get formula for Charlotte and she took it really well, we had a home visit from a midwife who worked at the hospital where I had Charlotte when we told her that we were giving her formula she understood why we had to make that choice and we were told that the formula that AD had picked up at the local petrol station at 3 am was the best formula around so we were happy with that choice. Also in the first few days at home Charlotte was crying so much that AD and I were at our wits end when I decided to call my parents and they came over and looked after her whilst we got some sleep, which I really am thankful for that support.
The Second Month has been really interesting so far. Charlotte is constantly changing and surprising both AD and I. She is smiling so much these days I just love seeing her smile, it makes you forget all your problems and it makes you smile too. Charlotte is also trying to sit up by herself and if we put her on her tummy she does try to crawl which is so cool to see. She is the light of our lives. She loves her grandparents so much, she gets to spend a lot of time with them too.
Much Love
