Wow seems like everyone is back on board again after Christmas and New Years. I hope you all had a good one.

AFU: Well I haven't noticed anymore of my hair falling out than normal and Tara still has most of her hair as well, she has only lost some around the front (kind of like a receeding hairline) and nothing from the back.

Things are going really well with us now, it is amazing how much changes but Tara is now doing the following:
1. Sleeping 12 hours every night, going to bed at 9.30pm
2. Only having 3 feeds per day (I know doesn't seem much but she is generally having between 250ml-270mls per feed)
3. Now giggles and also has learnt how to blow raspberries
4. Loves the sound of her own voice, when she is awake she chats all the time

We have also just returned from our MCHN visit and she now weighs in at 5.6kgs so an increase of 800grams on 4 weeks, based on this number she should be double her birth weight plus some extra at her next weigh in. So even though we are on the 3 feeds a day she is above average in her weight so the MCHN couldn't demand we go back to 4 or 5 feeds a day as she is putting on weight. Just goes to show that every baby is different in what they want and I have started giving her boiled water between feeds to make sure she stays hydrated.

Finally we also have a Mother's Group organised, after 3 1/2 months I'll finally get to meet other Mothers. Just goes to show how being in a rural town can delay things, but I'm looking forward to it as Tara can use having some additional stimulation as she really loves to be entertained when she is awake.
