T-I-R-E-D.

That’s what I am these days. All the time. Why? Because of my gymming .Everything hurts.Muscles,bones and probably the fat too.

Breastfeeding-the joy and the curse

For me breast feeding has been a bitch. And what a bitch she has been!
Lets start from the beginning. So I have the baby via C-sec. It’s been 48 hours now-no milk letdown yet. I start taking lactation tablets.
Three days later , the milk still hasn’t come in. I weep piteously on my husband’s shoulder. [...]
