Jessica now seems to have adjusted well to feeding without
the nasogastric tube and is gaining weight beautifully – now up to 5860g (12lb
14oz) which is fabulous. She is taking
more and more solid food now and has been enjoying exploring finger foods (and
making lots of mess!)
The warm weather and light mornings seem to be playing havoc
with her sleeping patterns at the moment though – we still remain unconvinced
that the early hours of the morning are a good time for staying awake and
wanting to play despite Jessica’s best attempts to convince us otherwise! Hopefully this is just a temporary phase and
thankfully Nanny has come to stay and help out whilst Michael is away which
improves the odds of being able to catch up on a little lost sleep!
Over the past week or so, we have noticed that Jessica seems
to have developed a lazy eye which she has probably inherited from Michael who
also had this as a child, and we have been referred to King Edward Hospital for
further investigation on this.
Otherwise everything seems to be going well and we have been
enjoying going out and about more in the nice weather. Jessica also attended her first street party
at the weekend but was quite unimpressed about it all!
