Hi everyone. I'm very very tired so am doing a quick, selfish post then off to bed. My beautiful bub was weighed on Tuesday and is now 4kg - that's almost 1kg heavier than her birth weight (3065g) and over 1kg over her leaving hospital weight (2900g)! What a piggy! She has also started smiling, although if you blink you'll miss them. She has such a lovely smile!

She has decided over the last few days or so that day time sleeps are a thing of the past. I am now very sleep-deprived, as I am up for 2 and a half hours each night, working on the business. She usually decides to get up for her night feed right after I've gone back to bed! Last night she slept from 6.30pm to 3.48am! I had gone back to bed at 2am, so had to get up again! Oh well. I'm sure this will sort itself out soon.

My breast milk has now completely dried up - while I'm sad it didn't work out (along with feeling guilty that maybe I could have persevered longer?), I'm finding it very convenient to bottle feed. DD #1 feeds Bella with the bottle on the way to school in the car so I don't have to wake her until we're ready to leave. Also, when I pick DD #1 up from school in the afternoons, I take a bottle along just in case. I can then feed Bella while I'm waiting at the gate of the school - no need to sit myself comfortably (and discreetly) or we can go into the nearby shopping centre afterwards for afternoon tea. I just need about a thousand new bottles so I don't have to wash and sterilise all the time!

I'm off to fill some more bottles, so will try to do personals later.
