On my own

Hubby has his first guard duty today. So I have my first 24 hrs alone with our new little baby. I'm hoping all goes well, but just as he gets a 24 hr duty, my postpartum bleeding has suddenly got heavier and the health visitor says I need to take it easy for 24 hrs and call her back tomorrow if there is no change. Like I can take it easy whilst on my own. How do single mums do it? Or how do military wives do it, when their hubby is away... take it easy... that's impossible.

Baby Arrived

At last!!!!
She was born on 13th Sept at 00.11. weighing 7lb 15oz.
The initial bliss is now turning into hard work, harder than I ever imagined.
I'm not used to spending so much time at home, especially when hubby goes off to work and gets some peace and quiet LOL.
The birth was quite quick, which was good, but boy was it hard work and I'm still suffering 3 weeks on. I'm just so glad that hubby was home, I couldn't have done it without him. I ended up loosing half a litre of blood and have been stitched up like you wouldn't believe!
I'm just waiting for the day when the stitches are gone, I'm healed up and I can start actually enjoying being a mum... at the moment I'm just stressed.
