8 weeks...just about!

Ok I know I know...its been sooo long since I last wrote but now everything is settling down I can finally get on top of it all!

Ashton is just amazing! He will be 8 weeks in 2 days and is thriving! He gets weighed and measured tomorrow but I think he is hovering around the 6kg mark! He is a boofa! He seems to be a sensitive little man and he is finally smiling on a regular basis and his smile lights up my life! He really truly has changed so many lives in his tiny 8 weeks!



Here are just a couple of pics that were taken at 6 weeks..wow I can't believe that was 2 weeks ago already!! Time really does fly!

I'll probably keep this one a brief as I can because I will make it a gradual process to get up to date and stay on top of it all!

On a healing front it seems to never ever ever ever end!! After the million stitches I was in pain and uncomfortable..this gradually subsided but I was left with this dull achey pressure pulling type pain in the front and a much sharper more ouwy type pain in the back!

I had an asshole of a GP at 6 weeks basically dismiss me and was soo rude I was left in tears - like sobbing from the afternoon right through til the night! Then Dr John at 7 weeks tell me it was all scar related and left it at that! Ok thats fine and the front pain from the scar seems to be very minimal now.. but I'm still left with this pain which I had been convinced it was a hemorrhoid! Fast forward to today...3rd doctor to take a look (and I tell you what - I am so over people in that area) he finally notices I have an 'anal fissure'! So I will pick up my cream stuff tomorrow and start taking lots of salt baths (again) in the hope it heals and I don't need surgery! I really want to start feeling normal again!!

So today is Peter and my 2 year anniversary...so much has happened in that time it's insane and we couldn't be happier! Ashton has just slot right in and become such a good part of our lives! I'm happy to say we work as a team - I am slowly learning to get Peter to do stuff when I am home rather than just taking it all on! He is great and will do what I ask and I'm more than comfortable leaving the 2 of them alone but when I am home I seem to do it all...total unnecessary! So we are going great guns!

Had a wonderful catch up with ladies from my antenatal class today! I am very happy about this as my mother group didn't really work out so I am still surrounded by a bunch of wonderful ladies whose bubs are all relatively the same age! It was a lot of fun and I can see some great friendships being formed!

I also started the practical component of my Personal Training course on Friday night! I loved it and can't wait to keep going! I was highly motivated and even just about finished my first assignment! YAY! So it's going really well!!!

I currently feel very rich in life! Ashton has brought out more confidence in me - I feel with him in my arms a conversation starter so I am more inclined to talk to people and not be so shy! I also feel more relaxed in life abnd myself so I am happy to enrich my life with more and more people!! I have a fantastic circle of people around me (in real life and online!) and with that I could not be happier!
