Well, things are starting to look up after our shaky start to the year. Elizabeth lost weight this week but has today had her weigh in and put on an a fantastic 9oz! The health visitor and I concluded that last week's weight loss was caused by dodgy scales and that she has actually put on a respectable 3oz per week over the last couple of weeks. Also the physio, the lovely Sylvia, came to see Elizabeth and is very pleased with how she is doing - Elizabeth is definitely catching up now that her bump has gone.
I have an appointment with the dietician at the RVI next Monday to see whether we can get Elizabeth's weight up. It's still low and as she gets more and more active the danger is that she'll lose the gains she HAS made. Frankly, if we could just stretch that little tummy so that she could sleep for more than 2 1/2 hours without a feed I would be a very happy woman!
So, I am still a busy bee and now know half the health professionals in the North East (and they're all lovely and wonderful without exception).
