I went to see the Child Health Nurse today. I now weigh 4330 grams, so I've put on....640 grams in 10 days! It must be from the extra calories in Mum's milk as a result of all the chocolate she's eating. And on the matter of chocolate, the nurse said the rash on my bottom could be caused by Mum eating too much sugar, read: chocolate! I think she's nearly got through the 3 1/2 kilos of Haigh's that Dad bought her, so that's good news for me.

Sleeping is getting a little easier. M & D have realised that it gets quite warm in the hammock and I don't need a blanket if I'm wrapped up. I did quite a bit of yelling to that effect, but it took a little while for the message to get through. I hate to be too hot. Unless it's because I'm snuggled against a warm body, then it's okay.

I'm finding that I really need to burp after a feed. And during and preferably before as well. I get really uncomfortable if I'm lying on my back and I need to burp. It just doesn't happen unless I'm leaning over Mum's shoulder, or leaning forward somehow. Hiccups keep plaguing me too. Especially after a feed at night. It's a bit tiresome because I can't sleep when I'm hiccupping all over the place, so Mum walks around with me until they've stopped. Then we can both go back to bed. Once I've had a few more burps, that is.
