I am officially getting quite big. Helen the Community nurse came to see me yesterday and weighed me and I am a whole 7lb 1.5oz. That's right, I've crept over the 7lb threshold. This means that I'll be able to go up another dress size soon. It also means that I've started to feel a bit more lively, and am managing to stay awake more during the day. This means that I go to sleep better in the evenings, and t
onight and last night, I've gone to bed at 7.45pm and slept well, until mummy and daddy get me up for my last feed after 10pm before I go back to bed for the night - with only one more feed before morning at about 3am. Another reason I'm feeling better in the evenings is that mummy and daddy have started giving me Gaviscon because I was displaying a lot of reflux symptoms. On Tuesday afternoon I was very unhappy all afternoon and evening with tummy ache and vomiting, caused by reflux, but now that I'm taking my Gaviscon I feel a lot better. I am much more relaxed and can sleep well without feeling uncomfortable with that nasty burning sensation that reflux gives you. Mummy had a lot of Gaviscon in the cupboard from when Harriet had reflux, so she's been using that and it's making me feel tip top. I don't really like the taste of the gaviscon, but I take it because it makes me feel better. I also take an orange flavoured multi vitamin called Dalivit every day (when mummy remembers to give it to me!), but I don't like the taste very much, I prefer milk! I've got my first immunisations tomorrow, which I'm not looking forward to. Mummy will take me down to the surgery, and Harriet will come too for moral support. I'm going to have a dash of calpol before I go, just to make sure I don't feel rotten afterwards. Wish me luck. The nurses have been told they need to use the smallest needle on me, as normally babies are a lot bigger than me when they have their first injections. I think this is going to hurt, but as I've already had cannunlas in my arm in hospital, I'm used to it, so I will try and be as brave as possible.
