An update

Today Taylor, Baby Daddy and I went for a family walk, initially I had wanted to walk around the outside of the park for an hour but instead we wove our way through the gardens, it was nice. probably nicer in summer when the weather is on our side and the flowers are blooming... Taylor slept through the whole thing... she has been getting better at sleeping.. well I am still happy about last nite where she slept for 7 hours straight.. clever wee poppet... She has also started smiling and goooing and gaaing and being oh so cute.. She finally started to like the bath but we have opted to shower her which is WAY easier.. she doesnt seem to mind the shower either which is fantastic..

time flies

I can't believe Taylor is 5 weeks old already.. time has flown by! She has been on a few more outings since I am no longer on house arrest.. I haven't had my blood pressure tested lately but my swelling has subsided so I hope that everything has returned to normal.. I am still expressing/breast feeding but Taylor has gone from 90ml a feed to 120-150 (still feeding 6-7 times per day).. I am struggling.. have brought emergency goat's milk formula but don't want to use it until I really have too.. my frozen supply is dwindling too.. going to try add a few extra pumping sessions in but it seems ever since she is awake more often I have less time to squeeze everything into one day.. I love it when her dad comes home from work so I can have my hands back :) 

Had our first plunket nurse visit today, Taylor weighs 3.9kg which I think is still slightly puney for a 5 week old but she was 3.1 when she was born so I guess that's good... I was sure she was going to weigh over 4kg she is feeling heavy and has giant cheeks!!!


Here she is milk drunk after a feed.. soo cute :)
