Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 What a beautiful family, Heidi (your father, too!)! Thank you so much for taking the time to post those lovely photos. Sorry about Arthur. He's a mean-spirited fellow, isn't he? I wish he'd find someone else to pick on. Somebody mean and nasty. Don't worry. You'll have some time to write more someday - maybe when Fabien is in college, LOL!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Oh Heidi! What lovely pictures!!! I hope you don't mind, I have Fabien as wallpaper on my computer. He's just SO beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, you look amazing. You really just had a baby??? And n, very handsome, as well as your dad. I'm sorry that Arthur has come to visit you. I hope he decides to leave you alone long enough to nurse a little longer. Do keep in mind that the most important time you've already done, with the colostrum. I'm sure it's hard to give up that bonding time, though. I'll have you in my prayers, as I so often do. Sending you love and (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((ginormous hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))), Carol [ ] Photos of Fabien!! Hi there Everyone! I'm missing you all so much but never seem to get enough time to sit down and write any e-mail - never mind reading all the ones I'm behind on! Fabien is finally asleep for a little while so I'll try and finish this one (It's about the 10th time I've tried - it's been stuck in my draft files for over a week lol!) Fabien is doing very well, he's growing by the day, he is already starting to float less in his clothes. I'm so totally in love with the little chap that I don't know how I'm ever going to get back to real life! My dad has sent me some of the photos we took when he was here so I finally have something digital to send to the group! Needless to say these don't really show me at my best (think I'd had about 4 hours sleep in a week when they were taken lol!) but the main thing is that they show our little guy really well and I wanted to share them with you all. Plus you get to see n changing nappies!! (there are NO photo's of ME doing this - my main occupation in life right now lol - but like Jules says we always photograph exceptional moments lol!) My Dad is the proud grandpa with the glasses, he's coming again in August so we'll take some more photos then. Here you go! http://www.venturenet.co.za/~stepcon/fabian/fabian.html I'm still breastfeeding (keep those prayers coming - they're working again!) I've been swearing at good old Arthur a lot lately - his ears must have burnt off by now lol! He's definitely back and is giving me some trouble, mainly pain and stiffness in the mornings and late evenings, which makes feeding at those times a bit of a challenge, but it's not so bad that I can't deal with the pain, or handle Fabien, so I'm carrying on with my breastfeeding till it gets too bad.

For now I'm trying to sleep as much as possible (not as easy as it used to be :-) and stay as relaxed as I can, the more tired and stressed I am the worse it gets. I'm taking one Voltaren every second night and paracetomal to get me through the rest of the time. This is the " cocktail " suggested by my Rheumy while I'm breastfeeding it's not really great shakes but seems to be taking the edge off the pain, which is very managable for now and well worth it for the reward of being able to breastfeed. I'm still planning on writing my " blow by blow " account of his birth as soon as I get some more free time - have to get my next " draft " going! Just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking of you and share the photos.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Sorry to hear that Fabien is a bit fussy lately, Heidi. I hope that's over soon. I remember those sleep-deprived days so well! I also hope you can get out to have your hair cut sometime soon. I remember thinking that it was a major accomplishment to be able to take a quick shower and find the kids still alive after I emerged from the bathroom. These early days are very hard, but it does get easier.
