green_martha... but I dunno where the HG pput the DSLR that's hosting the newest pictures. So this ost is going to be veyr much picture-less, which is a shame. Anyone who wants them is welcome to hold the staples that keep my belly together for me until tomorrow. :D
Little Ariane was born on Tuesday, she's pretty much perfect. I'm in more pain than I was after Gabriel's birth but I also feel a lot better. I was able to move around quicker and sent home earlier. The little one sleeps much better than her older brother did at the same age. We're trying to slowly adjust to being back home right now, and I'm enjoying the recliner we bought for her sleeping area. Best. Deal. Ever. She's currntly sleeping in her crib next to me.
I have two rants, though. first : bereastfeeding ayatollahs. I tried breastfeeding Heimlich, I failed miserably, crumbled under the stress, it took me months to get better, both physically and mentally. I know breastfeeding is a really really good solution, I know it works in most cases. I was infuriated when I read in a paper graciously given to all young mothers at the hospital that "it works for everyone" (the sentence after that ? "It's very rare when it doesn't work" or something like that... yay, brilliant rethoric !). IIt'd have been a tremendous help for me back then if someone had really taken the time to talk my issues through with me and had acutally sreached for some possible issue. I had to search the net for days until I noticed an article by the Leche League (not in my mother tongue, thank goddess I understand english) about thoracic surgeries and breastfeeding. Had I known beforehand about the issue, I'd probably still would have tried breastfeeding, but it would have saved me a lot of guilt and anguish. I would have considered the option of it just not working for me. This time, I only cam accross one midwife who tried to talk me into it - I also had to change my heart medication in order to breastfeed Heimlich, and so far from all the medication we tried there's only one that I tolerate well (and when I say one, I mean one particular molecule, in one type of packaging, from one specific brand) - and she started talking about how there are different substitutes I could try for this medication. Yeah. Like I want to spend one month each time trying out each of the five possible options. Oh wait, how much does she know about which betablockers I should take, given she's a MIDWIFE ? Hellooooooooooooooooooo ? Can't she just take a simple "no, I've tried it, I won't do it again" as an answer ?
Rant #2 : ... will wait, Ariane is waking up :)
