You have continued to be on and off... still sweating at strange times... happy the one minute, really unhappy and snotty the next. About a week ago, we whisked you off to the docs, and he picked up that you had a chest infection. We put you on straight penicillin... it seemed to work really quickly, which was great. And you seem ok- but, as I said, from time to time you still get snotty and sweaty. The unpredictability of it does make it very hard to keep a tabs on- so we can think all is well, and then suddenly at 4pm you're inconsolable. The other night we had one of your 3 hours of crying stint... in between that you vomited up all your milk, and had a snotty nose. And then the next day you were bright as rain!
It's been pretty chaotic. Dad has been away most of the week... and taking care of all 4 of you has been quite trying on me. You're mostly good as gold.. although I have had some interesting nights of you being relally miserable... and dealing with you crying for 3 hours, and still being able to breastfeed your brother, when I am on my own, has been, well challenging!!
The good news is that you're still growing! You love your solids... I just think your tummy isn't big enough to take more, although I think you'd love to have much more :). Weighed you this morning... 5.12kg!
This morning, your brother decided he wanted you to sit with him. So he picked you up, and put you on his lap... he really does adore you, and is so sweet with you. And you adore him straight back. So proud of him :) Here you are watching TV together... look how he holds your hands... and you're watching the TV... so sweet....
