No visitors for Jessica today. Only the midwife (yet another different one!) who wasn’t overly concerned about Jessica’s jaundice. The midwife weighed Jessica (without Jessica weeing all over the scales again) and she now weighs 4.06kg so a healthy increase over the last two days (both Gabriella and I suspect that the calibration on the scales used on Friday was out). Either way at least it confirms that she is feeding properly. Jessica really wasn’t too keen on feeding yesterday evening and it took until gone 1am for Gabriella to get her to feed at all, the previous one being at 6pm. Eventually after having some formula she did breastfeed. Don’t know whether Jessica was objecting to the houmous that Gabriella had for lunch. What a fussy diner…!
Despite it being horribly rainy weather today, we took Jessica out again in the Baby Björn – so much easier than having to hump the pram downstairs. It wasn’t anywhere exciting, just to the shops and she slept the entire time. We did buy something for Jessica in Mothercare though (sort of): a duck bath thermometer. Maybe she’ll enjoy bath time a bit more now…
Gabriella’s having a much needed nap as I write this and Jessica, aka the Milk Monster, is half asleep on my lap, making strange but adorable noises. Hmmm and now nappy-filling ones, not quite so adorable… Which means that I should sign off and investigate.
