Emmanuelle is exactly 3 weeks old today and getting bigger and fatter, which is a real relief. Maybe when she is over 4 kgs I will let her out of this house more often, at the moment it's so cold and rainy, it's best to have her inside her roasty little bassinet.
She was sleeping in a Moses basket for her first week and a half but I have decided it wasn't too comfy for her, she sleeps much better in her bassinet.
She still causes me endless worries, I think she has a lot of reflux and wind and it's so hard to burp her. She constantly moves her end from side to side when she is uncomfy and she has little coughs after feeds which I always think is some kind of lung disease but apparently it's somewhat normal.
She doesn't cry when settled, she just lies in bed looking around, which I feel guilty about.. I think she might feel abandoned or something but I have to resist the urge to pick her up all the time cos it's unsettles her.
I need to find the perfect way of burping her!
She has noisy breathing sometimes and makes the weirdest noises when sleeping which of course worries me again, I think she is going to stop breathing or vomit and choke in her sleep! But I keep praying for her that she will be okay and that I will stop worrying.......
At the moment, she hates being undressed and cold and having her nappy changed... she normally doesn't cry except when she is hungry or her nappy needs changing but she sure can scream when we change her nappies.
She smiles (grins) now! I've heard it's not actually cos she is happy but cos she has wind!! But I like to think she is happy cos she is content.
