Well - Caitlyn's eye is ok - just have to keep an eye on it so to speak. The Doctor thinks maybe either she has a little dust in it or the fact that it is soooo dry out here has made it itchy. So he gave me some lubricating drops.
I also talked to him about some feeding issues. Caitlyn is 7 weeks old today and is still on a number 1 teat (Avent teats). It can take her up to and sometimes over an hour to get through 120 ml which is quite frustrating at 4 am. We have tried to move her up to a number 2 a few times and each time she gets pains in the tummy. Of course he suggested trying a different shape teat *thinks - why didnt I think of that??* So DH will be off to the shops this afternoon to see what they have there (not much!) or I will head to the pharmacy tomorrow to see what they have there.
One week ago Caitlyn weighed 4.53 kg. She is still in some 0000 clothes but her little suits with the legs built in dont fit her in size 0000 and are a little too big in 000. Mind you she pretty much lives in a nappy and a singlet anyway. And I am going to have to look at buying some thinner wraps for her - she was sweating in hers today - with the air con going and she cant be unwrapped AND sleep. Oh and its official - at 4 pm today Cloncurry hit 39.7 degrees with 9 % humidity! And at 11 o'clock last nbight it was 31!
