Friday 2nd July....back to Sue for a weigh-in

1 WEEK OLD TODAY.

As agreed on Wednesday, we are back to check my weight. So there goes mummy, stripping me off once again, I guess i chould get used to this, and in the cold plastic dish. Mummy is smiling, could it be good news....."he put on half an oz" Sue says. 6lb 11.5oz Yay!!! Only a little, but a gain is a gain. Back on Monday she says to see how im getting on....

Monday 5th July......

Comfy on mummy & daddys bed 

Back to Sue, naked in the dish. This time I manage a small wee....hahaha....serves you right!! Mummy is laughing at me :) well mummy has been feeding me like mad all weekend, I feel like all I have done is eat, sleep and poop!! Ahh thats because that IS all I have done! Not good, I have lost 1oz I am now 6lb 10.5oz. I don' get it! Neither does mummy. She feels like she is doing something wrong, "maybe I'm just not producing enough milk". Sue tells her not to be silly and that I will eat as much as I want to, and I do. Little did mummy know, she was doing a perfect job and the weight loss was nothing to do with her. Sue says maybe mummy needs to stretch my little tummy a bit. Huh?!? "try topping him up with a bottle, just to get the demand higher". I thought I was quite demanding, obviously not enough.

Drying off from the bath  

So over the next week I am having my normal feed until i fall asleep, then mummy wakes me up and sticks a bottle in my mouth and I have more milk, tastes a bit different though and it takes me a few days to get used to it. M & D are laughing at the faces I pull. Strange though, every now and then I look up and see daddy feeding me, must be giving mummy a break.

Snuggled on mummy after my bath...night night...

Tuesday 13th July.....

Weigh in......WOOHOO I am now 7lb. Something is working. Mummy got a bit upset like she was failing, but after a little chat with Sue she cheered up, for now anyway...
