Hey everyone

I'm migrating to this page from our other July one - it's only taken me a month! I guess I was never good at jumping into changes!

My partner (known to all as Bondy) and I had our darling girl - Jessica Lily - on 8th July at 7.19am. Can't believe she's over a month old now!

Our weekend is going pretty well - got MIL up for a week and it's already driving me insane! don't get me wrong - she's a lovely lady, but we had been "warned" by one of Bondy's sisters that she's getting dementia and although we have experienced it on the phone, we haven't seen it in person til now!

OMG - there are only so many times you can repeat answers to the same question before you do your head in!! Poor Bondy is copping it pretty bad at the moment, and because it's his mum he's struggling a bit! but, he was at work on Friday and then has a course to go to tomorrow and Tuesday so it's just me and MIL!

Jess is going super well. her smiles are as gorgeous as ever and I love getting them! She's a month old now - where did that time go??? She's doing better now with the constipation too - for those of you who may experience it in future, I have tried Coloxyl drops (get them over the counter at the chemist) and when that didn't work, the doctor suggested prune juice mixed in with her bottle. That didn't work either so I gave her prune juice diluted in water - still nothing. THEN I got told about a magical thing - 60ml water and 1/2 tsp raw sugar. Put sugar in bottle, add boiling water to dissolve the sugar and leave it til it's cool, then give it to the baby!

It's the **** (literally!!!) Within an hour Jess was all unblocked and happy as again! I'm going to finish this tin of S26 for babies with reflux, and then I'm putting her on the normal S26 and see how we go there!

Not much else to report this end. I'm going to be visiting this page as well as the other July page so you'll see me round!

Hope all is going well. Take care.

xoxo
