Feel like we are finally getting somewhere! At the minute she is feeding two hourly so I think we are having a growth spurt. Our nights are getting better )
We are back at the midwives tomorrow hoping shes gained the 5.5 oz left to get back to her birth weight! fingers crossed! Xx

How's the wind? Ava is struggling abit with it on an evening between 5 & 10. I have some gripe water but I haven't given her any yet

Glad the nights are getting better for u, she's about 2 weeks so its the right time for a growth spurt.

Ella is really out of sorts at the min very clingy etc I think its for 2 reasons! We are going through the first developmental leap and I think shes picking up on the vibes also at weekend shes been with Daddy a lot as I spent quite a bit of time at the care home. Bless her we are still struggling with bed time as we can spend an hr trying to get her down (

Due to start baby massage on Thursday with my friend and her little girl )

Bless her, she's already growing and changing! Blake is due to start that leap soon too, we're in for a rough ride. How are you getting on at home on your own? Ed went back to work yesterday and so far we've been ok without him here.

Big hugs to you, your mum and your gran xx
