This week....
☺ EmJ got and recovered from her first viral infection. It was hard, and heartbreaking for us but she was actually really good. She whinged a little and was a bit clingy but she didn't really cry much with it so I am super impressed with her!
☺ my mam and dad came to visit as I had to go into hospital for a couple of hours. My mam came with me and my dad looked after EmJ, he changed his first nappy and fed her! She was really well behaved and we are so proud of her!
☺ she took her first few crawling paces before forgetting to keep moving her arms! We think she is going to be crawling properly very soon as she loves it!
☺ she supported herself sitting up, we sat her up then let go and she supported herself for a few minutes before falling back (we did catch her). She is so strong!
☺ my aunty and cousin came to visit from Sunderland and EmJ was sick on them! She did laugh and giggle along with them though which was cute. And they bought her a gorgeous pink winnie the pooh sleep suit for when it gets a bit colder!
☺ I have started doing housework while EmJ is asleep. I used to sit in the same room as her to make sure she was okay but I got nothing done around the house so I have set up the baby monitor as we have one with video and sound so I can watch her while I am tidying up. My dad tidied and hoovered when he came down so I just have to keep it tidy and hoover every couple of days.
☺ we discovered a new game of me throwing a blanket on her (softly) and her kicking it off and giggling. We did this for about an hour before I got bored but she would have carries on! It was cute to watch and she loved it!!
☺ we went to the library and got her some baby books for us to read together. I didn't have time to get any for me though!
☺ we have started bathing her a bit earlier now as I thought 8pm was too late for her so I decided 6pm. This means I can bath her and feed her and put her to bed a bit earlier which will be better for her and she did settle fine.
☺ she has started to have some formula milk now as because I have had something removed from my breast, the wound is too close to where she feeds and there was a worry about infection etc so I have to feed her from the other breast and top up with formula. We chose aptamil and she seems to like it which is good. I do feel guilty about giving formula as well but it wasn't a situation I had any control over, and she is still getting some breastmilk.
☺hubby started back to work this week, so most of the day EmJ and I are alone together. She doesn't really seem to have noticed but he does ask me to send him pictures of her regularly throughout the day as he misses her.
I think that is about it for this week. It is hard work having a baby but it is so rewarding too!
