Glad you are doing well, I hope things with the dad are going okay too x
Thanks Binks, her Daddy is here most days and goes home at night, meaning I have her all to myself at night which I'm loving 
Lucy is 2 weeks old tomorrow, it's flown by so fast!!
Breastfeeding is going great, my health visitor gave me a few tips for latching and they've worked a treat. She did all the usual checks and she's fine.
She's such a content/quiet baby, only cries when she's hungry (just like her Mum) she's amazing and so alert now. I'm just so in love with her.
Hope you are all good. Xxx

I am so pleased you have found a way to work with her dad and I bet it is lovely having quality time on your own x
Glad she has helped make it easier for you and that she is doing well.
Lovely picture x

How you doing lovely xx
I've got the flu. Vomiting and snuffly
Everything else is great though, still breastfeeding and really enjoying it actually. Have to be extra cautious now that I'm sick though as I don't want her to catch it!
How are you and Maisie?x
Oh dear I have had a very unhappy baby tonight!! think she's definitely caught my snuffles, I've tilted her cot slightly to see if that will help. Also rang the 111 number to see if they had any advice as I didn't want to run into A&E like a crazy mother lol!!
the lady said if absolutely necessary I can give her 1/4 tsp of Calpol to help her settle. She's sleeping now so don't think I'll need to give her any tonight, but it's good to know for future reference. I took her temp and it's normal so looks like it's just the snuffles thankfully. Her poo isn't green either, just the normal orange/yellowy which is normal for breastfed babies (sorry if TMI )
I knew I'd spoken too soon about having a quiet baby

As I said earlier, it's been a busy few days. I had a horrible situation last night, Lucy was quite rowdy... wouldn't stop crying. I had to pop to Tesco and a few other places to get a few bits in so I had no choice but to take her with me in the car as I had no one to look after her. Strapped her in and everything, all fine. I have one of those mirror things in the car facing her seat so I can see her through my mirror too. She'd been crying for about 20 minutes (I was trying everything, even put some soothing music/white noise on and nothing was working) then suddenly she stopped crying, just complete silence. I didn't think anything of it as I could see her in the mirror and she just looked asleep. Anyway I pulled into the car park and went to get her out and got no response, I put my finger in her mouth and she didn't suck or try to bite on it like she usually does. Put my hand under her nose and couldn't feel her breathing. I "shook" her (very gently) and nothing.
Her arms were totally floppy and so were her legs, Omg girls I was frantic!! Screaming help all over the car park, I didn't know what to do... I had nobody else with me!
A lady and man ran over to help me and she FINALLY responded after a lot of prodding and poking. She was obviously in a VERY deep sleep but god I was terrified.
Even though nothing bad happened and thank god it turned out to be a false alarm, it's put me right off travelling on my own with her as that was the first time I'd been by myself as either my Mum or Ry are usually in the back with her.
I'm already a paranoid mess when it comes to her safety and this hasn't helped. I'm so annoyed at myself for not pulling over when she suddenly stopped crying, I should have known and thought to check but I just thought she'd fallen asleep as she has a habit of doing it recently. I feel like a bit of a failure. I've been doing so well up until then.
Poor little love has scared the life out of me! x

Omg that must have been so scary for you
I wanna give you a big hug, honestly Hun know what you mean about going out on your own in the car, I'll tell you a secret apart from the 5 minute drive to my mums, I've only been out with Maisie on my own 3 times in a whole year, once to sainsburys and twice to drive Danny to the train station which is 30 mins away lol. XOmg that must have been so scary for you
Thanks hun.
It's great to hear I'm not alone, I feel a bit bad for not wanting to take her out by myself but it's such a responsibility especially when driving and she's screaming the whole way... Xx
Afternoon guys. Still busy here, got some housework to do today so will get that done whilst Lucy is sleeping. She seems better now thankfully, think the calpol did the trick. Also down to bang on 13 stone
Not much else to report on really, thinking about booking a holiday somewhere next year with Lucy and my Mum and Dad. I don't get to see them much these days and it'll be great to get away with them for a week or so. I did have a rescheduled holiday booked for later this year with my ex but for obvious reasons that won't be happening. I could do with being on a beach for a whole week doing nothing and I know they'd love it too. But where to go?! x

Just got a text from a guy I've known for a few years asking me out on a date, his name is Greg and he's really nice... we get along great and I do like him. I'm just in two minds about it at the moment, I'm so busy with Lucy and I don't think I'd have time to commit myself to anyone else right now as she needs my full attention.
Also I'm not sure if it's too early to start dating again? It's been a very hard few months relationship wise and putting my faith/trust in someone else again is going to be difficult. But then on the flip side - I can't live in that mindset forever or I'll be single all my life.
I just don't want to ruin a great friendship if it doesn't end well or I knock him back. On the plus side though, I won't be drinking alcohol as I'm breastfeeding so I can't make an idiot of myself
Do you girls think I should go or not?! x

I have said yes, it's on Tuesday and we're doing a double date thing which is less daunting! Will be with my best friend too so she'll help me relax. It'll be nice to have a few hours away from being a Mummy too, I love being with her don't get me wrong but it'll be nice to have a few hours off as the past few weeks have been quite hectic
I am panicking about leaving her though, it'll be our first night apart since she's been born xx

Hi chick, I'm so sorry I haven't been around for ages! Firstly congratulations on your little girl, she's beautiful and you are doing brilliantly. You are super mum.
Best of luck with the date on Tuesday too, how exciting
I can understand why you are nervous about it but you have to remember that your happiness matters too - if you want it then go and get it
Lucy will be fine for one night and she is in good hands xxx

Haha I definitely think that'll be me - I'll be driving myself insane!
And thank you, I'm excited and nervous at the same time as we're good friends so I'm scared of harming our friendship in the long run - we'll see
