7/11/2010 - 3w, 4 days

Ouch. Super full boobs again. I seem to be spraying like a hose every time I take off my bra. Maybe this is a growth spurt week so i'm making more? I feel rather obsessed with my boobs since Monkey's birth!

Beautiful day here today, and we have some interstate visitors coming tomorrow. Think I might leave Monkey with DH this afternoon and go to the supermarket for supplies, then visit a friend who had her baby a week ago. I feel the need to escape the house for a bit. I'd been avoiding driving until we called the insurance company on Friday and they said I've been allowed to drive since whenever I feel well enough to! So the last 3 weeks I could have been driving whenever. Oops. I thought after a c/s it was 3 or 6 weeks, depending on insurance.

Monkey ALMOST rolled over by herself last night! DH had her on our bed doing some tummy time and she rolled onto her side. She was trying so hard to get onto her back, but couldn't quite make it. It was super cute.

We're trying a colic mix on her to see if she settles better - no conclusive results yet, although I THINK it helps.

Monkey has grown so much. She's almost ready to ditch the 0000 clothes, which is sad, as she hasn't worn many of the little sleeveless suits. I wanted to dress her in all those cute clothes before we have to retire them! She has a nasty nappy rash this week which makes me feel sorry for her. It looks so painful. Trying the curash cream on it, although we have been told pawpaw cream works magically.

Off to eat breakfast (at 10am!) then feed Monkey. She went one 5 hour stretch between feeds last night. I'm now wondering at what intervals I should be waking her for feeds. 3 hours or 4 during the day? The MCHN told me to wake her during the day, but never wake her at night for a feed. I don't want her to go hungry, but she's growing so fast, maybe she needs the extra sleep?
