sararose - yup, we got a bottle warmer. last time, DH would heat it up with water which would need to constantly need to get supplemented with more hot water, but that's just not feasible while entertaining a 2yo at the same time! unfortunately, the good old $12 percolator is no more, and we had to shell out about $60 for one ... but better than microwaving EBM and losing all the goodies in there, right? Would have been good to have been able to get a second hand one, though ...

back to the grindstone ... so much work! and so tough with my throat this sore and my glands this swollen ... I'm itching for the antibiotics to do their thing, and I'm really praying they kick in overnight! I was able to get in two decent pumps, getting around 300ml each time.

DS2 was *not* happy today, and it's hard to know whether it was my absence, or my boobies' absence, or his immunisations, or (heaven forbid) he's sick ... FX tomorrow is better, and he and DH have a better day!

Throat is so swollen and sore, and it's always worst overnight and first thing in the morning, so I'm kind of dreading going to bed a bit ... trying to tell myself that the body does its best restoration while you sleep, so I'll best be served by going to bed.

Plus I'm exhausted. I fell asleep on the couch holding a drink, and woke up because the drink slipped and went everywhere ... oops ...

DH took DS2 to his 8 week check up today .... 75th % for head circ, 50th% for length, 20th% for weight ... so he got a big lecture on DS2 not feeding enough - but he's been basically exclusively breastfed, wets well, poos regularly, he's alert and happy (except for today!) and by and large sleeps very well (albeit not consistently) so can it really be said that he's failing to thrive???
