Interesting Day

Posted on

Amy and I had our 6 week check yesterday – well she did, cause the GP didn’t get around to me, there was so much to do with her! As she was checking her over, she got down to the groin area and noticed a lump. Yikes, every womans worst nightmare – finding a lump. At first she thought it was an enlarged gland, but them decided that it was more like a hernia, from a protruding ovary that had somehow gotton out of place. She assured me that this was more common than I thought, but that they like to operate on it straight away to avoid infertility issues. So off we headed to Emergency.

Now for those who know me really well, you would be thinking that I was a bit of a basket case at this point. However, I was so calm and non-flustered that it was shocking even me! Amy and I waited for 3 hours in the ward and were seen by the Paediatric Specialist who assured us that all was OK, and it was most likely a gland and not a hernia. Relief came and then the racing home to pick up the girls who had been shipped out to various minders, only to walk in the door at 6pm at the same time as Justin, who strolled in after a most leisurely day at the office – grrrrrr!!

Amy has been a gem over the past few days. Who is she and what has she done with my grizzly daughter? She has settled right down, to the point that I pop her into bed and she goes stright to sleep. No more of this groaning and moaning for an hour or so before a fitful, short sleep. Last night I fed her at 8pm, went to bed about 8.30 and she woke at 2.30am. I must have had nearly 6 hours sleep IN A ROW – unheard of. After the 2.30am feed she went right back to sleep with no fussing till 6am. I’m loving this new baby! Go Amy Go Amy.
She is also getting dreadlocks in the back of her hair from laying down. Time for a shampoo I think!

Got a million things to do today so better get cracking. Have a great day.
