I have taken some time offline, but I am back now. I will be updating as often as I can, though I can't promise when it will be or if it will be regular.
Anyways, of course since I've been offline I have missed everything!
I just wanted to say congratulations to Holly! I hope you enjoy motherhood (which I know you will!) and I wish you and Bundles all the best!
I hope we can stay in touch and I hope you keep me updated on your beautiful little girl, but I totally understand about your blog going!
I hope to hear from you soon, and we can compare labour notes;) Ha ha! I miss out weirdly open conversations! :D Love love love to youu:D xxx

A few photos..
I thought my blog was getting a little boring since I haven't had much time to post about anything. So I've decided to add some photos in order to make it a little more interesting! They are all watermarked and tagged so I'm feeling pretty safe about uploading these. Obviously it won't be many, though.

Surviving Lilia - week six.
Had very little sleep this week.. I've gotten Lilia into bad habits and she won't sleep unless it's in my bed.. So I haven't had much sleep at all.
Nothing is really new, I'm just erally tired and she's gotten worse.
She's so tall! I put her next to my friends 5 month baby, and she's nearly the same size! Crazy!
She's also started losing her hair, bless her! Hopefully it'll come back brown or blonde - and not a bright ginger ha ha!
She got weighed on 26th July, and weighed 10lb 12oz.. That's almost the ideal weight for a two month old... What a fatty!
Sorry this post is so brief, Lilia's actually in my arms dozing right now.. I'm too afraid to put herr down yet because I knowshe'll wake up and I have things to do! Ha.. Like eat!

Dressing my baby;
I love dressing her up for days out and things:) Having a baby girl is definitely the best for dressing up!
But the thing is.. Everyone has given me stuff so I don't need to buy anything. Though it's useful and I'm not ungrateful, I've only kept the second hand babygrows and vests, etc.. It's not that there's anything wrong with the clothes I'm given, it's just I want to choose what my baby wears in the day and not only have things that people have handed down to me..
I'm not ungrateful at all, and sometimes if I really love an outfit I'll keep it, it's just part of the fun of having a baby is to shop for cute little clothes to put them in!
I'll obviously keep and use day outfits which are bought as a gift, but usually second hand clothes I'll throw out..
James' sister knows I do this, and she has made me feel really guilty for it. Is it really that bad of me to want to buy things for my own daughter? I know everyone thinks they're helping when they give me stuff, and they are! .. It's just that I'd like to spend money on my little girl too, you know?
Do you think this is bad of me? Please comment :)

Amy Winehouse and the 92 teenagers who died.
Why is everyone so shocked when a celebrity dies? It's like we think they're immortal or something, ha ha! It's such a tradgedy that Amy died so young, but even her mother said it was really inevitable. My heart goes out to all of her family, friends, fans.. But why is she in the news more than the 92 (or more) 14-19 year olds who got shot at a youth camp for absolutely nothing? Although it is upsetting and a huge loss that Amy has died, and she doesn't deserve any of the abuse she gets, she did do drugs and that was the cause of her death (or so everyone thinks). She basically killed herself, and all the teenagers had done was attent a youth camp..
I'm not saying one loss is justified or greater than the other or anything like that.. I'm just wondering why Amy has had so many news stories and the Norwegians have had half of that at the most.. Just because someone is famous it doesn't mean their death should be broadcasted all over the world with every detail for us all to see, and it doesn't mean that theirs should be bigger news than any other person dying.
Rant over..
R.I.P Amy Winehouse.
R.I.P all those teens lost on Utoy (I think).
R.I.P everyone who we have lost so far in 2011, and before.
Everyone deserves the same rememberance, no matter how they died, when, or where. Or who they were. :)

Surviving Lilia - Week Five.
Lilia is so much more awake now, and is responding to me talking to her by looking and smiling.
She hasn't yet smiled for anyone else apart from me, however my mother has seen her smile while she's sleeping.
She has given a little giggle a few times too :)
I can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast! I like it in a way.. But in other ways, I don't ha ha.
She has recently gone into 0-3months sized clothes, but can still fit into newborn day outfits - babygrows are too small for her if they're smaller than 0-3 now :o
She's still not completely strong in holding her head up but she does it for quite a long time now:)
She has 5oz and usually feeds every 4 hours :}
I honestly don't know what else is new because I'm around her 24/7 anyway so every change is just kinda natural to me. People have said she's losing her hair though.. And she is a bit of a ginger! (James has ginger in his family) She definitely hasn't inherited any of my Italian genes! Ha ha.

Four weeks, four days post partum;
I haven't actually done anything to lose weight, so it's probably exactly the same as it was two weeks post partum.. I can't find my Wii Fit disc :/
But I'm going to start walking soon (we haven't had very good weather recently, so I haven't had a chance to start) and hopefully I'll benefit from that :)
I'm just posting this so I can see if any changes actually happen, though comparing my photo to my two week post partum photo.. not much has! My skin has just sagged a little more! Ha ha ha! And I actually look bigger!
* I promise I'm not! It just must be how close I am to the webcam or the position I'm in or something.. HONEST! Lmao.
Anyway, I'm totally fine. I stopped bleeding and losing gunky stuff or whatever it was on the Sunday last weekend (so she was literally four weeks exactly then), and I'm glad to not have to wear pads all the time now! Though I am getting period pains and have been told I'll probably come on very very soon, ugh!
My boobs still leak little drops of milk but since I lost my milk supply it's not much. I still put breast pads on sometimes, if my leakage is a bit more than usual (days when Lilia's very whingy), but mainly I don't wear them anymore.
My stretch marks are fading well, and are SOOO much lighter around the front of my belly now! They're obviously still visible and most are still a purple-ish colour, but they're getting there!
My skin is really loose and sagging and it always wobbles when I laugh (hahaha) which kinda depresses me! I know it'll never get back to normal, but I wish I'd have time to start making sure I lose now! I don't eat very much anymore, mainly due to not having time, but if I do eat it's usually healthy so at least I'm doing something, right!
