Babies Born June 16th - 30th 2008

[*Beema*]

Nakita is a month old today!

Nakita put on 130grams this week, so she is now 2480grams, we measured her and she is now 49.5cm long, so she has grown 4cm since she has been born, and added 0.5cm to her head circumference. We will be going back again next week as the MW wants to keep an eye on her weight. We haven't done many top us the last few days, so still happy with her gains. She is still a bit jaundice, it was up to me if we wanted to get her levels tested again, but I am not concerned, it is slowly getting less and less. Any way she looks good, is eating well and we are happy so we will keep on plugging along. We still give her one EBM feed a day via a bottle, DH did is last night so I got to sleep from 10-2 then fed until 3 ans slept until 6:30, tried to rock bubs back to sleep but she wouldn't have a bar of it so got up and fed again!!

Hehe about being a noisy eater, Nakita was hungry when I was in the MW's clinic so I started feeded her and the MW laughed and said you can hear her gulping the milk down, she is a loud drinker too, when we were in the funeral the other day I gave her a bottle, and had to turn it around as she was sucking the milk out soo quickly and loudly you could hear her over the service and was making me laugh!!

Thanks Satya, BF'ing is hard work and I feed great about it now, like I have really settle into it and I am really enjoying it, but it took a lot to get to this point and it isn't for everyone, don't feel bad about it, every bit you can give has made a difference! I don't think age makes a difference, some people just struggle with BF'ing.

Sheree, how is Riley going? Hope he is recovering well!

I just realised that I havn't washed clothes for a couple of days, but don't really need to but will do some tomorrow I guess!

Thankyou Serendipity, I feel at peace now he has gone, had a long hard battle so it is nice to know he is resting now

Must run and open the milk bar, don't want to upset my best customer!!
