freedom
I'd just like to say that I aim to do more 'tid bit' blogging in the near future so that it is a tad better for all of us.
You know what? I've never felt so free in all my adult life. I cringe when I hear people bemoan the way life changes when you have a baby etc etc. For me it is all one very long school holiday except instead of doing school stuff I do Eden stuff which is much more pleasant. Even my yukkiest task of scraping the poo off his nappies is pretty equal in value to the adrenalin rush of managing a year 9 core music class - plus it is all over a lot quicker.
Last night we finally ordered a Medela Harmony breastpump online from Winkalotts so that I can have even more freedom. I had been putting this off for whatever reason. But there are events coming up that either Eden or I would not cope with together so Daddy or a babysitter can give him some Mummy milk in a bottle.
The only thing I bemoan is my health. Another trip to the Doctor today for suspected mastitis. Now you don't put that in your budget do you.

I hope you have an easy road with getting Eden to take a bottle. It might not be so easy the first time but do keep trying. While Fin never took a bottle (despite repeat attempts by me, Tim and the Karitane nurse) I can certainly see how free-ing it was to others to take time out and have daddy or someone else look after the bub.
The best tips I got from the Plunket and Karitane nurses were to get the Dad or a grandparent or friend to try to give a bottle... when it's Mum the bub is way too smart and knows the breast is just there.
