Looking Good

Well yesterday afternoon's cares were pretty uneventful and this morning Amy looked really, really good. She'd had a really good night and her Oxygen requirement was steady at around 30%.

Changing the nappy revealed huge wadges of poo and the subsequent weigh-in showed a gain of 15g which is pretty small in comparison to the previous 60g hike. Consultation with the doc revealed nothing unusual in this so we're not concerned.

One great piece of news is that for the past 3 days there has been no detection of the heart murmor we were talking about a week or so ago. For those not up to speed with this read the post entitled Heart of the matter for the full story. It looks like the duct has closed for now which is very good news, although we need to be aware that distress or setbacks in the future could cause this to open again.

On the whole the news from the doctors is very uneventful at the moment - thank God! Amelia is doing very well and everybody seems really pleased with her progress. 10 more weeks of that please Amy!

I have a couple of pics and movies today but failed miserably with my chance to catch Amy weeing and pooing on Anna who had just changed her nappy and bedding. Ahh motherhood!

We're going to try and start featuring some of the ace booty we've been getting too. Today for your delight is a smashing blanket from my old mate Tom and his wife Claire, plus the unmistakable Jemima Puddleduck who came from the wonderful Sibberts in Heysham. See the upcoming My Longest Day post for details of their rather abruptly interrupted summer getaway thanks to Amelia's sudden arrival. Sorry folks!
