On Tuesday Mum came up to visit, she met me in Larkhall at the NCT baby cafe where I met Alison from pregnancy yoga. She was really friendly and I managed to get some advice about feeding (cracked nippled on the right side - ouch!). It was beautiful weather and we walked back up the hill, stopping for a feed in the churchyard.
Mum was really helpful doing lots of housework and socialising with everyone on the street. She has befriended 'Danny' the new baby at no.8 who was also at the babycafe. In the evening we gave Ruby her first bath. She seemed to really enjoy kicking about in the water. She had a good night and Mum never heard her at all. I tend to wake up to feed her before she even wakes up herself!
On Wednesday we waited around all day for the midwife and I felt a bit teary because of the feeding. The midwife was really late but I was really pleased as it was Jane Moss! She gave me lots of advice about Ruby's latch and I felt much better after that.
Garden Time :-)
On Thursday a lovely bouquet of flowers arrived from everyone at the Lodge! I was inspired to go and see them so bundled poor Ruby into the car and off we set. There were not many people there but Sarah and Jo were having a quiet afternoon so I managed to spend some lovely time with them. I felt quite inspired to go back!
On Friday Steve was working at home and we had the health visitor who checked Ruby's hearing. I went for a little walk around the block and past the park.
On Saturday Steve did BMF and then we walked down to Alice Park for a couple of hours. This was really pleasant and we watched the rugby tots - Steve now wants a baby boy...
