[entreat]

perspective... as I drifted off last night, I thought about all the good things I have to be happy about with Jack.
Yesterday morning, he smiled at me for the first time - with out farting afterwards - so it couldn't have been gas. And it was a really big smile too.
And he's a good sleeper. Sure, he may have been crying on & off from noon until 5pm yesterday, and the screams may have been the worst I've heard - he still sleeps well at night. Last night he did 4 hour feeds. Can't complain about that!!
Linked to the sleeping is his awake time. It's during day light hours, and it's so darn cute. He's obsessed with DH's hats that sit on the back of the couch. They're black & white, and captivate more than any toys we could offer him.

But I want to take him to the doctor as he looks like he has bloody mucus in his poo. But can I find a number for a pediatrician in Kalgoorlie?? of course not. And I can't really take him to the ED because he's otherwise not sick & they probably won't do anything. So I'm going to hunt through the local phone books for a ped's number. Surely we have one in town!

ETA: his poo is returning to normal now... he's otherwise not unwell in the slightest, so I'll ask the nurse tomorrow. And more smiles from him this morning.

MissyMoo - Mum has been cautioning me to stay away from chocolate, garlic and onions. I haven't had anything really spicy... oh hang on... I made relish, didn't I?! No more of that then...

Smamfa - I want to get on the wii fit too (hulahoops can't be bad, can they??), but I just lose the energy for it. One day...

SAK - I can't see your milk drying up because you still have demand. But if you see supply dropping too fast, just stop the tea & let you baby sort it out. And I love the idea of a boob massage! but would prefer a foot massage.
