Category: Our Little Adventure

This is one sleepy baby, but she won’t give up and go to sleep. Admittedly it’s pretty hot, and has been the last couple of days. You woke up so sweaty for your feed earlier this morning. I’ve only had two hours sleep and eager to get you settled so I can get some rest. 

You’ve have been so unsettled last couple of days. We are so worried about you coping. I really have a challenge on my hands when your Dad goes back to work next week and it’s just the two of us. 

Hello little one, 

In your first week of being in the big scary world you have had quite a run of drama, on Sunday we noticed your left eye was stuck shut and so we bathed it and made you open your eye, but after you had slept it had come back so mummy made an appointment with out of hours doctor so we could get you some drops to clear up the infection, we only thought we would be out of the house for 30 mins didn’t pack a lot of supply’s but after an hour wait and way past your feed time we were seen by the doc who said your blood oxygen levels were low and we were rush round to a&e where me and your mummy were in for a 8.5 hour wait to find out you were completely fit and healthy. And that the original doctor used the wrong bit of equipment on you.  We eventually managed to get you home at 1:30am 

We’re we’re all up early later that Monday morning as we had to take you back to the hospital so you could have your tongue tie sorted, bit of blood and crying as you were hungry but no real dramas, we tried to Breast feed you on your next feed but you still didn’t latch on. So mummy’s continuing to express so you still get everything you need to grow big and strong. 

It’s now Tuesday morning and your currently sleeping after your last feed and mummy is going to ring to get someone to come and help you both with breast feeding, we’re both hopping it will all go well 
Lots of love

Good morning Lara, still feels a bit weird calling you that as for 9 months you were wriggley bear, well I guess your still living up to your name as your still as wriggley as you were in mummy’s tummy. 
Well as previously stated your a week old today and growing strong you already hold your head up and your already bearing weight on your legs 
We are currently feeding you about every 3 hours it’s making me and mama bear very tired but seeing your baby blue eyes looking up at me makes it all worth while. 

You have had a very busy week with being kept in hospital, coming home meeting nanny flo and grandad Ernie, aunt Debbie and of course your furry sister Nismo. You have had midwife visits and been out for in daddy’s car to have you bloods taken. 

Love you so much
