15th February 2012.


Today Mummy says Evil-Midwife is coming to see us, but her name is actually very misleading and Mummy likes Evil-Midwife best of all, Mummy says she tells the truth and Mummy will do what she says because she trusts her.

I decided to sleep at 7am this morning so Mummy slept with me in her arms for an hour before getting up and starting to pump milk again, when Daddy got up she shouted at him and blamed him for her being so poorly (he  didn't learn the things she'd told him so she wouldn't have to give birth on her back which caused all the damage and hence blood loss.) The thing is she knows it takes a very strong person to stand up against healthcare people when they are threatening that if you don't do things their way your wife and child might die, I think it was really the fact she has still not had more than 2 hours sleep in a row for 9 days.

Evil-Midwife let herself into the house while Mummy was crying her eyes out and trying to pump her empty boobs, she gave Mummy a cuddle and asked what was wrong. Mummy said she felt guilty for feeding me nasty sugary cows milk and that she was worried about me so E-M said she'd weigh me 1st to set Mummy's mind at ease.

I had put on 145g since yesterday!!! E-M said I was a fat piggy and I didn't need all that formula any more, just a little top up now and then until Mummy was making enough milk of her own.

E-M didn't touch me once, she even let Mummy put me on the scales which Mummy said was very important. She didn't tell Mummy what to do, just asked where we needed help and then gave it to us, she used a dolly to help show how to feed so Mummy could copy, everyone else pulls me around by my head! However I didn't feel like a drink so did my evil leprechaun impression instead of latching on.

Mummy is no longer calling me a stinky-stump-a-saurus as my umbilical cord finally fell off today, now she calls me her little hobgoblin which Daddy says is cruel but I like it, that's why I pull my leprechaun face!

In the afternoon Daddy made Mummy go to bed and he looked after me, when she came downstairs again she seemed a lot happier and pinker than since Nanna and Granddad were here.

Mummy and Daddy decided to try staying up very late with me, they played trivial pursuits for the 1st time since the night they made me and drank champagne - but they didn't try and make a baby this time! I thought this was a great idea and so I woke up early just before midnight and I was asleep before 4am. I slept in my own bed for the 1st time at night, normally I only go in there in the afternoon and demand to be cuddled all night but I am feeling safer now and can see Mummy right next to me.
