SO the midwife came round today. She weighed Freddie. He is 8lb 12oz currently, which is a 6% drop. She said they expect 7-10% so he's done really well! She saw he had a mucky nappy, saw him piddle everywhere while he was getting weighed, and saw him latch on for a very noisy, guzzley feed, so she's happy with all of that too. He's had his heal pricks done. That was the hardest part - finding a bit of his poor little feet that had healed enough from all the hospitals tests. She also had a poke if my tummy etc and is happy with me too. She's stunned that I haven't been crippled my after pains with this being no.4 but I've not suffered at all so far. Hubby says it's pay back for all the pain and discomfort of my late preg and the birth!
We won't see her again until Thu next week! Unless I feel the need, and then I can call her. She seems to think that everything is ok and that I know what I'm doing by now. I'll take it as a compliment.
Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.
You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook
