Olivia is growing well. She is now within 3oz of her birthweight. We are going to keep a close eye and get her weighed weekly to make sure everything is progressing well. It is a difficult balance to make sure she gets enough nutrition when we don't know how much breastmilk she gets.
Dad to be (or should that just be Dad!) or F as I will now be calling him noticed changes in her after he had been away for 5 days. He says she looks like him. I guess that now I just think she looks like herself!
It is funny because although she is only just over 3 weeks old it seems like we have always had her. We are in a routine now and so we've kind of started to forget what things used to be like. I guess things will change again next week when F goes back to work. We will miss him so much. If only we could have that elusive lottery win so he didn't have to work, although I think the main thing hindering us in winning is the fact that we don't buy tickets :)
Olivia is still in biodegradable disposable nappies due to the truly explosive nature of her poops and the fact that we were away at my parents' but we are going over to the washables at the weekend - watch this space and see if our eco-parents credentials crumble in a tidal wave of poo. She had a whole day and a half where she didn't poop once, then a large firm poop and then the poop gates were opened and she was back to doing one every feed. I bet Daddy will miss that when he goes back to work...
