Baby diary: Week 2

Sleep... That is all I want to do...

Little I seems to want more and more milk making her feeding sessions during the night longer and my sleep shorter. I'm lucky of she goes 3hrs and then spends at least an hour, if not more feeding.

Despite Little I turning two weeks yesterday she is still jaundice so we haven't been signed off from the midwife yet. She put on 40g in 4 days last week so she has nearly regained all of the 100g she lost after birth.

My C section scar isn't feeling great at one end where they tied off my stitches so I'm generally really uncomfortable and attempting a trip out in the car was a mistake as every bump hurt more than the last.

The health visitor is coming today and I am excited to see how much weight she has put on and get her red book - If i'm still awake when she arrives!
