Well, almost all is well... Emily's ear is still infected and we need to take her to have it 'suctioned' out again - poor child! Her check up with the Paedeatrician went well on Friday. He is, of course, amazed at her progress. She should be at about the two month mark in developmental milestones, but at the moment, she is between 3 and 4 months. So, almost at her actual age. Advanced Baby (in case anyone missed that I feel that my child is far above average).
His only concern was the slow down in her weight gain, and he has put her on Polycose which is a calorie booster. Let me tell you, the run around to find someone who had a tin of this powder in stock was a nightmare. But on the plus side, I thought it was going to cost about R1000 for the tin, and it only cost R93! Grant still phoned me once he had paid to make sure he had the right stuff because it was too cheap - too funny (just goes to show how this NEVER happens with baby products).
Her appetite is so much better now, which is a great relief. The only downside is now when she wakes up and wants to eat, her time from awake to fury because we have taken too long to prepare her food has gone from about 1 minute to 10 seconds - makes for very interesting 3am feeds. I am surprised the neighbours haven't phoned the cops yet, because it must sound like we are murdering the poor child and all we are actually doing (or not doing, as she sees it) is preparing her food (slowly...).
I am going in for my hernia repair tomorrow, so will try and squeeze in as much Bean time as possible today, because it will probably be a few days before I can hold my most precious Angel again (tear...). I have to stay in hospital overnight so that (and I quote from the doctor) 'they can give me the good stuff for the pain' - Grant is soooo jealous! And speaking of Grant, he and my mom will be on solo Beanie duty on Wednesday night... it's going to be... interesting... maybe I should send the neighbours a 'warning'?
