Daisy is now 7 weeks old and is doing brilliantly. She has started smiling in the past week or so, when we put our faces close to hers. It's so lovely! She watches us as we move around the room and is enjoying spending time on her playgym too.
She was weighed last week when she was 6 weeks old, and was 8lb 14oz. She's now between the 9th and 25th centiles, so has dropped below her birth centile, but the health visitor said that was fine as she's clearly a healthy and alert baby - just quite petite.
We have managed to find lots of toddler groups to go to, so that we have somewhere to go most days. Daisy is so easy to take out - she just sleeps in the sling or her carseat.
She's down to just one night wake-up now. We had a couple of nights where she went from 10.30pm to 5 or even 5.30am...I couldn't believe it when I looked at the time! But it tends to be around 4am most nights. I'm feeling much better with only one waking as she feeds so quickly, so I'm only awake for 20 mins or so.
I feel a lot more relaxed now and am very much enjoying being a mum of two. I'm so proud of how well Jamie has coped with Daisy's arrival, he's so sweet with her, giving her kisses and telling me to give her "rolk" (milk) when she cries.
I can't get over how lucky I am sometimes... :D
