My baby girl has put on heaps of weight and now weighs 7lb 15 1/2 ozs (3.610kg) what a little piggy!!! Its all a bit sad as it just shows how quickly they grow and turn into little people. She also smiled at me for the first time this morning!!! A real smile......not a wind smile LOL. She also smiled at jasper later on too. I will try and get a photo today.

Thats all for me for now.

****** 1 Month old ******

My baby girl was 1 month old yesterday !!!! wow how fast has that gone..... she has just fitted into our family and our routine without any trouble at all. She is still feeding and sleeping as she should be so life is good.

Friday night she and I had our first girls night out. We went out with some other girls from our heath centre / playgroup. Velvet was very very well behaved, you would of hardly even known she was there. There was 3 other babies there too, all under 3 months, all girls and all on there best behaviour. All the mums had a lovely time. Thanks Bri for organising it.

Yesterday we went for a drive to the Granites (mt egbert). The kids were itching to get out of the house as was I. The kids had a great time running and climbing on all the rocks. Craig carried Velvet around in the carrier and she slept most of the time.

Not much going on this week other thank the usual, kinder and school, Tuesday is dancing and I will go to health centre on Wednesday and get Velvet weighed. I also think I have to help do a nit check on Wednesday morning at the school. Thursday is a day off school but we have to go in for "student / teacher conference" So the week will end up being fairly busy after all.

Only 16 more needles to go.......... woo hoo !!!! I think by the time I have finished I will have given myself over 260 injections !!!!! Pretty good for someone who had a bad needle phobia !


Since having Velvet I have had to do the injections in my leg !!!!! and it has hurt like hell but I should really not complain because if I did not do these injections during my pregnancy my chance of having a live baby were only 20% but with the blood thinners it put my chances up to 80% so I really need to be thankful. I have had to continue the injections for 6 weeks after having Velvet to reduce my chances of have a blood clot. I am also still on daily aspirin, but I am not sure how long I will need to take these. I will need to go back and see my haematologist in Melbourne some time soon to find out what I need to do in future as the disorder I have can be very complicated.

Every blood test and every injection has been well worth it though when I hold my gorgeous baby girl in my arms.



Well thats all for now,



Take care and chat soon

Time flies...........

My baby girl is now 3 weeks old. She is the perfect baby, sleeps good and feeds good. life is good.

We had our first day out shopping on Tuesday, we went to Swan Hill. I would not of even know I had her, she just slept the whole time.......it was the other 3 monsters who kept me on my toes. We did manage to get what we wanted, luckily (school pants for the girls)



No other news at the moment.



Till next time, take care



Love Cherie xx
