01-12-2009 - Emma's progress

My mood while writing this blog: Happy

Well, we had Emmas hospital appointment this time last week and she's doing really well. She's gaining weight at an unbelievable rate, 1 lbs in 5 days. Once she's got back to the weight she should be at she should stop gaining so fast...I hope! Lol...don't want an overweight kid!

She started sitting up by herself the week before last (three days before she turned 18 weeks!) She's so strong! :) She has two teeth already and I have a feeling a third is coming soon, can't see it yet but as the two bottom teeth are fully erupted and she's still screaming and munching on her hands and rubbing her gums I think there must be a top one on the way...can't believe she has her teeth so early...All my sisters and myself were over 12 months before our teeth came though, I thought she's mamybe have our genes and follow suite but apparently not! Lol...Breast feeding hurts now because she insists on biting...but I'm not doing it that often, since we introduced the formula my supply has plummeted which is a real shame but at least she's gaining weight.

She's finally started making a lot more noises just these last couple of weeks too! I was getting a *tiny* bit concerned because I thought she should have started doing it weeks ago but she was pretty mute apart from the occasional squeak but now she's constantly gurgling, "ba-ba-ba-ing" and squealing! :) It's so cute...even if it does mean there's never a quiet moment! Hehe.

Hope all you ladies, bumps and babies are good! :) x
