Hey there Ladies

Glad to see that we have ventured over to the other side.

Just back from getting miss porky chops weighed - she weighed 3.47kg's at birth 52cm length - today 18 days later she weighs a whopping 4.15kgs - we are feeding via bottle but I'm expressing and topping up with a little formula as my supply can't keep up with her demand - she takes at least 6-7 bottles of 120mls each day and I still pop her on the boob whenever she is grizzly.

She is a lovely little thing - so far (KNOCK ON WOOD!!) she is a content baby - very little seems to worry her - she has suffered from some colic also and we changed her formula and introduced some infacol and brauers colic relief and it seems to have done the trick.

Her jaundice is getting much better and I can finally see what colour she is - i know that sounds funny but she has been pumpkin colour for the entire time.

She won't sleep in her bassinet through the day but will happily sleep in the bouncer in the loudest part of the house - she seems to like the noise from her big brother - i on the other hand would happily donate him to a good home free of charge - he has just discovered how to be naughty and loud all at the same time - IT"S DOING MY HEAD IN!!

on the plus side - i used my sling today and she loved it - so it gave me free hands whilst up the shops - BJ has decided to become a runner!!

OK enough waffle - looking forward to catching up - in the mean time if I don't get back on before Xmas - have a very MERRY XMAS one and all and enjoy the special times with your families - hugs and kisses xx
