At 11am we took Jessica to the Baby Health Centre for her 4 week checkup. She now weighs in at 8 pounds 3 ounces. She has put on close to 2 pounds since her birth. Initially a newborn will lose 10% of its body weight in the 1st few days. When we were last at the Health Centre she weighed 6'12". All this means is that Jessica is feeding well and is thriving. We also asked about her toenails (growing under her skin) but that is normal. We left there in great spirits.
For the rest of the day Jessica was a nightmare. She would not settle at all. Threw up at 2pm all over our bed and Ang was at wits end. Then we were hit by another whammie when Paige and Sarah got home from school with 2 of their friends. They have only started coming around since I set up the swimming pool. The girls are really, really getting to us. Paige keeps pushing and Sarah carries on like a 2 year old. If only their Dad would take them for a few days / week to give us a break. Wishful thinking indeed.
Work tonight was great. Managed to collect $8 in tips which was spent on some pretty flowers for Ang (Awwww). She needed a little bouquet to cheer her up. I sent Ang to bed at 9:30pm to get some good shut eye before Jessica is brought to sleep in our room.
I am playing cricket (at this stage) on the weekend here in Morwell. The captain coach of Latrobe CC (Bloomy) called me out of the blue whilst I was at work and asked if I could put on the whites for the turds (3rd XI). Will give it a go and see what happens.
