Howdy all - sitting in the garden, cup of fennel tea and a pocketful of mini Daims from Ikea Hugo likes to lie and gaze at the apple trees. Plus, it is a little cooler today than yesterday, with a lovely breeze. He gets so hot and sweaty sometimes, that I don't mind him sitting out here in the wind getting a little chilly!
Went for weigh-in yesterday. A bit ho hum. Last time, he had gained an all time record of around 4oz per week for three weeks, so I really thought we'd be nearly at 11lb by now. But that must have been a fluke as he's back to his standard 2oz/ week, and we are up to 10lb 9oz. So, it's still weight gain, and it's still steady, and his is happy and smiley, which is what matters. Paed appt next Weds. Plus, the HV who weighed him didn't seem too bothered (probably cos I mentioned the paed). She was younger than most of the HVs, and is possibly the first one not to mention top-ups!
Then DH, H and I went and had a lovely lunch. We haven't been out to eat, just us, for so long, so I thought it would be nice. Had hoped to get a seat in the garden t the restaurant but it was absolutley packed, so had to go inside. H got grizzly fairly quickly, but I popped him on the boob and he had a quick feed and dozed off for most of the rest of the meal. I had chicken and mushroom risotto, DH had a big calzone, and for dessert I had pistachio ice cream (om nom nom!!!) and DH had profiteroles filled with semi-freddo. All in all, very yummy, nice to be out, and quite relaxing.
Made greengage jam yesterday.
Re: multiple night-time wakings - yes, but I don't really know how often. As H is in with us, I half-wake, latch him on and doze off again, mostly. I would say at least 4 times a night. He seems to be eating less through the night now - has a quick munch and then dozes off. Is this a Good Thing, do you suppose, in view of weight?
MrsG - glad the banana went down well! What else has he had now?
Auld - I'm pale and squishy - that's about it! Really I just rather like the word
