Hello again everyone! I seem to have bouts of dropping out and then staggering back again.
Laura has also started making saliva bubbles and dribbling a bit. I think one of her mottoes is "I am baby, therefore I dribble." Thank goodness I have so many bibs.

How has everyone been? I'll have to find the old thread and reread it before I can do personals!
Not that you're interested () but I'll tell you what's been happening over here:
I saw the OB, Dr Yeoh, for the six week (actually seven week) checkup, and passed with a clean bill of health. An amusing moment came when I asked if I could resume playing netball and he said "Yes, but you won't be very good." It turned out he meant "no good" in the "lack of breath and fitness" way, not the "no netball skills" way.
Related to that, I resumed playing the next Monday, carting DH along to look after Laura. I am *very* unfit, and furthermore have forgotten how to run- a sprinting attempt ended with me landing full-length on the ground and skidding along. There's still some skin left on my forearms, but not much. Laura was very good, only wailing midway through the third quarter, which meant my team had only six players for the last bit. Not to worry. Everyone was thrilled to see her, and enquired whether I was going to train her as a Centre (my old position) or a Shooter or Attack, given her legs. I don't know- what do you all think?

Also, we have been to the MCHN for her eight week checkup and discovered the following:
Weight: 6.2kg
Length: 60 cm
head circ: 41.5cm
General health excellent. Refusal to turn head to left side worrying (for her mother, anyway.) I'm now supposed to turn her head to the left all the time, and put her to sleep facing left, and stay on her left side. This has resulted in a baby who turns her head back to the right when I let go, and ends up sleeping facing right, and won't look at me when I'm on her left. Any ideas?

Oh, meant to tell you- I've made it back to the gym four times! Once, my mum looked after Laura- the other three times DH has had her, and I've had the mobile in my gym pants pocket in case of trouble. He's only called me to come home once (Laura was howling in the background) and by the time I'd sprinted home (well, walked quickly), Laura was asleep! The mobile adds an unsightly bulge to my pants, but there are so many unsightly bulges already another one is hardly noticable.

Laura's vaccinations are going to happen on 19th Oct- a bit late, given she's two months today, but better late than never. I'm not looking forward to them. Poor little girlie.
