The worry!

No body warns you about the constant worry.
Is she eating enough? Is she eating too much? Am I doing this right or that right? When did she last poop?
Its ridiculous.
Especially when B is working away. I seem to worry 10x more.
Perhaps it's the fact that the last time I spoke to an adult this week (other than B on the phone) was Monday when I went and visited everyone at work. I just overthink everything.
My google history must look slightly odd.
It always starts "3 month old....." (or how ever old she is at the time)
Then finishes with what ever new, slightly odd thing (or not so odd apparently) she has started doing that day.
Thank goodness for netmums! For almost everything I've ever asked google there has been a thread on netmums about it in the past. Usually reassuring me that it's quite normal for babies not to like "tummy time" or if she's dribbling too much. Or whether her arching her back is normal. (It is apparently but I'm still keeping an eye on that one)
At least I'm not the only mum who's ever felt clueless. Shame they don't come with an instruction manual.

Anyway I'm off to bed.....very, very quietly! ;)

Florence May 12 weeks old already!


This is a long overdue introduction to our beautiful daughter. With breast feeding troubles, wound infections and the usual sleepless nights I've been a bit preoccupied so haven't blogged. As most of you came from my mums blog anyway I thought she was probably keeping everyone posted anyway.
She was 5lb13 when she was born. Now at 12 weeks old, Weighing her on my bathroom scales (so probably not accurate) she weighs 11lb6! Still small but seems a chunk to me now.
She rolled from her front to back today for the first time.
So proud!
And she's working out that her hands are her own now. Having lots of fun playing with all the lovely toys she got from family and friends at Christmas.
I Promise I won't take as long with the next post. Honest!
