I Need Medical Attention...

...Unfortunately our GP surgery doesn't agree. They phoned up to cancel Olivia's appointment as they are short staff. Don't it make you glad to pay your taxes??? So we are now going on Wednesday afternoon to get her belly button checked and further treatment done. At least it will give the original injury extra time to heal before they start poking it around again. I want her to have the treatment she need but I wish it didn't seem so invasive for the poor little sausage.

We did go to clinic as normal to get Olivia weighed. She is perfectly following her 50th centile line and now weighs 10lbs 8oz, having gained 5oz this week. At the moment I am still going weekly for the weigh ins but I guess at some point I will go to fortnightly.

Meanwhile, as Olivia is gaining steadily I have commenced operation 'lose the baby lard'. I gained just under 3 stone during pregnancy and while 1 stone of that vanished overnight (well, over 2 nights - it was a long labour!) the other 2 are set to stick around unless action is taken. So I am weaning myself off the very lovely Aero Bubbles and trying to cut out the rubbish and just eat healthily. As I am still breastfeeding it isn't going to be anything too extreme.
