Thursday outing
Today, Mum, Dad and I went to Manly to have lunch with Ellie and her mum, Lindsey. It was a beautiful day and we sat in a little corner of the Manly Wharf Bar balcony in the sun. Eddy and his mum, Deborah, dropped in to say hi too. It was lovely to hang out with my friends, but I was a bit sad when we first got there because Mum wanted to eat her lunch before I could eat mine. Bit selfish if you ask me!
Mum and Dad were worried about my crying, and decided this afternoon to just feed me as long as I wanted to see what happened and it seems to have worked. I felt much happier and fell asleep straight after. Apparently hour and a half feeds are not unusual for someone my age, so Mum is happy to oblige while I need the extra food.
Speaking of which, I was weighed yesterday at the clinic and I have put on another 150gm in 6 days. Mum and Dad were really happy about that. I'm not really sure what the fuss is about.

The past couple of days have been pretty good, though I seem to be hungrier than ever before. A couple of feeds have been almost an hour and a half and I get very upset when Mum takes me off.... even if I am asleep already.
On Tuesday morning, I got dressed up in my pink tracksuit and we went to the breastfeeding drop in clinic. I was the model baby. Didn't cry or fuss at all and attached beautifully. I think the counsellor thought Mum and Dad were a bit crazy being there when eveything seemed to going so well! But they got a few handy tips and I got a great feed.
After that we went to a fun place called IKEA. I'll be in that ball pit as soon as I realise I have feet! This time I didn't see much, as I was asleep in the pram, but the Parents' Room was great. Dad took a photo of us there, so you can have a look. We got some cool lamps plus some other things that we didn't realise we needed until the nice people at IKEA told us so.
On Tuesday night I met Uncle Sam. I thought he was lovely and so I gave him a bit of a smile. Then I cried for an hour 'cause I was still hungry but Mum was a bit slow giving me more to eat. I don't know why she insists on torturing me!
We didn't do anything yesterday, except go for a walk to the shops. I was very cranky in the evening. Again, I was being tortured. It's not my fault if I want to feed almost continuously for 6 hours! Dad gave me a bath, which was OK, and I was very cute afterwards, but then I remembered I was hungry. Mum fed me again, but I still felt sad. Eventually I went to sleep (and stayed asleep) at about 2am. Mum says thank goodness that I still slept for almost 6 hours. It's a saving grace at the moment.

Monday...I am 3 weeks and 3 days old.
Good things:
Bad things:
- Had a falling out with Leftie. Attachment a challenge!
- Dad put me in the front carrier. Didn't like it much!
- Bit sad this afternoon. Not sure why. Dad thinks it is understandable given that I really have no idea what is going on at any time. I think he might be right!! He and Mum gave me lots of cuddles and I managed a couple of naps in their arms.
- Talking to Squirrel.
- Looking like a superhero in my blue suit and hot pink socks.
