Another little blip!!

All has been going well and Millie is in a bit of a routine and is so far (touch wood) good in the nights, up once and then straight back. I had even been saying to my antenatal friends how positive I had been feeling. That was until went to have her first injections on Tuesday, they were fine yes she screamed but even I scream a bit when having injections so who can blame her! However, I also wanted her weighed to just check things were still going well. this is where it all goes wrong. Millie only put on an ounce last week, average is 6-8. So that set me off worrying, health visitor said not to worry but its easy for her to say and especially after what we went through with Martha don't want to do that again. Martha has been full of cold so that has been a bit of a challenge too, such hard work. So anyway looking on things I have probably not been drinking enough fluids for the feeding and also I think my milk had dried up a bit with giving the top ups, so yesterday Millie is still having top ups but I was putting her to the breast a bit more. Today I have noticed the tingling you get when the breast fills up or is ready for a feed and I have leaked a bit again so hopefully things will get back on track next week. If not then we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
On a more positive note Martha has been going down in her bed and not getting up and out again for us to spend quite some time picking her up and putting her back in!! She was fine when she first went in the bed and I think she didn't realise she could get out. Then I think it was not long after Millie was born we tok to getting out and playing all sorts of games, including pretending to cry then stopping when we arrived, pretending to have had a poo to name a few. However since the end of last week she has gone in and stayed in, she was even singing in bed the other night so hopefully we have turned a corner and that stage is over and done with for awhile.
Can't quie belive we are in November already! Liam and I are hoping to take full advantage of my parents this weekend and go to the cinema and go Xmas shopping without the girls. It is actually the only weekend we can do it, unless we want to go one of the last weekends before Xmas- not likely! We have already dnoe quite a bit of shopping (I should say I have!!!) so hopefully we can get it wrapped (get it!) up this weekend.
I have been totally rubbish with photos and I know Liams website needs updating but I don't know how to do it on this computer bu hoefully they will be updated soon.
