11 Weeks

Today I am 11 weeks old. Golly gosh, how time flies! Good news today ...

Mummy took me to the health centre today to be weighed; this week I put on 10 oz!! That is double my previous best (last week), and rocketed me up to 8lb 9oz! Mummy was so happy, she had a big smile on her face and couldn't wait to tell Daddy, who was chuffed too! Chris, the health visitor was also very pleased and said I had turned a corner now, and it would just be onwards and upwards from now on. I was also back on the growth charts - hoorah!

Yesterday we went on saw the nice doctor man. He prescribed me some medicine for my colic (the same stuff Mummy was giving me, now she just gets it for free) and also some other medicine for reflux. I have been bringing up lots of the golden nectar lately (i.e. Mummy's milk) and this is meant to help. It seems to have helped so far - well, my clothes stayed cleaner for longer today at least anyway, and Mummy thinks I was even more settled today.

But, that could also be from all the food she has been giving me. We are trying to increase her milk by feeding all the time. Yesterday we watched 'Australia' while I was feeding on and off throughout the afternoon. It was a rather dismal movie, even with Hugh Jackman to look at. Ah well!
