Hello to RHI & little Milla (pretty name!)

becca- I hope ur cold is better. Looking after a baby is hard enough without feeling yucky eh? Keep berocca on hand. I find taking it if u feel like u might be getting sick usually means the cold is less awful. I'm a lemsip girl myself but I'm not sure if its safe to take while BF. I had one of those 48 hour colds 2 weeks back and I think I gave it to Willa and she seemed to cope better than I did with a stuffy nose. Its downright funny how babies insist on breathing through their noses even when they so obviously have another option.

claire- lol about the white carpet! I'd totally ruin white. We have beige and thats bad enough as is with 2 cats and me being such a messy eater when I was preggers.

sara - AWWW bout colby's laughing and yay that brent got to see it too. My MIL keeps telling (more like warning) me how quickly babies grow into toddlers and then into little people in their own right so gotta savour all those previous moments.

Had a mixed day today. Yesterday was much the same. Willa fought the breast, which she does occassionally and I just usually give her a bottle of formula if it gets too prolonged. But she refused the bottle as well and I got a little stressed that she wasn't eating as well as she usually does. I figure she can scream/cry poo spew and give me all kinds of grief as long as she eats well. Otherwise I get antsy. Night feeds are a-ok though which is weird but I remember some of u ladies saying its the same for you as well?

We had her 6-8 wk checkup by the MCHN which revealed that she is 5.5kg and 59 cm, which is like 90th percentile so I was pleasantly surprised. This would explain why my arms seem to get more and more sore holding her during BF. The kid just has this massive head I was a scrawny little baby myself.

Did some errands today with Willa at the local shops. She's fine so long as I keep the stroller moving, which isnt always possible when your trying to pay for something at the shop.

ok, DH just drew me a bath (bless him). Time to hop in! have a pleasant evening all!
