    I think my body was telling me that it wasn't ready for food yet. Now feeling heaps better and had avery yummy and filling dinner or lamb shank, mash and veg that a very lovely lady donated!

    Lol Cassius, I think that may be why I sometimes have trouble sleeping at a decent hour but sleeping fine once I get to sleep (minus waking to bub ). I will make sure to have them with breakfast from now on!

    Normal newborn issue is I think her days and nights are upside down lol. She sleeps and feeds so well during thd day and more wakeful and feeding more frequently during the night. Holding her and being louder during the day to try and fix that.

    There has been a back step after seeing the Opthromologist and that is being back on eye cream but I am so glad about that as I had been telling them her left eye was getting worse again. I love it when they finally realize I'm right, annoying it takes so long. Shouldn't impact on EDD though as caught in time unlike last time

    Sorry I've neglected here.
    Well 3 days before expected date of discarge, the long line became blocked and they tried a normal IV again but that stopped working after just a single dose of abx (as I told them it would) so instead of going through another long line or a new IV each set of meds, WE GOT TO GO HOME EARLY!!! :-D She has been on oral abx since and she will stay on them for 6-12 months.

    We have settled at home quite well and 2months on she is a very healthy, happy baby and is thriving. She fits in perfectly. Already growing out of her 000 clothes and fitting better in 00. She turned 3mo yesterday and we had a wonderful Xmas all together :-)
