Being Momma G: Day 8

1:00am: me on one end of the couch expressing milk, Jonathan on the other end feeding Sean both expressed milk and formula. I simply didn't pump enough mid afternoon yesterday for a full feed right now, thus requiring a top up with formula. I was starting to feel useless.

4:30am: Jonathan fed Sean a portion of formula. I slept through this.

8:00am: Jonathan fed Sean again while I expressed. Record amount of milk after some much needed sleep. Woot!

11:15am: Feed and express time. I was producing a good amount of milk. Yay me.

2:20pm: Sean wasn't wake, so I expressed and tried to be one up on him. Still producing a great amount.

3:30pm: Emily and Pamela dropped by for a visit. Neither had seen the new house, and Pamela had yet to meet Sean, so it was lovely to have them both over for a short period of time. Both the girls oohed and ahhed over the new house, and Pamela got all clucky over Sean. The girls and Penny, Lissy, Michelle and Maddie chipped in to give me the most thoughtful gift - a pamper session at a salon Paddington that has a crèche. No guarantees, but I will try my very best to get over to Paddington before the end of June this year!

Sean woke just as Emily and Pamela were getting ready to leave. The girls both had a cuddle with Sean before he got grizzly and wanted a feed, and after the girls left, Jonathan gave Sean his bottle.

The rest of the afternoon and evening went by uneventfully. I continued to express milk every 3 hours, and Jonathan continued to feed Sean when he woke.

We are both dead tired, and I'm just getting ready to express again. We have no idea what the little man is going to be like overnight, but we are hopeful he will be more settled than last night.
