It must be about 4 weeks since my last blog and my daughter Charlotte is now 8 weeks old. Charlotte is doing so well putting on weight which is excellent as I had to stay in hospital for a week as she was not feeding very well. Charlotte has Downs so feeding from the breast was not working, I was expressing milk after every feed and amazingly I managed it for about 7 weeks, then I started to dwindle it down and now she is on just formula. We had a hospital appoinment on monday  and Charlotte was weighed and she has put on nearly 2lb from birth which is fantastic. We have been for heart checks as well and everything is looking good as the whole in her heart is slightly closing so it may close on its own. We have got to go back in February to get it checked.

The kids love Charlotte to bits and are always fighting over her (who's going to hold her next). Charlotte is now smiling sometimes but not yet making noises but it will come and she is trying so hard to keep her head up not quite able to do it when she is on her belly. We all love her so much and would not change her for the world.

Well I must do some ironing before she needs to be woken up for her next feed. No daught i'll be back in another few weeks, then again I may be back sooner as the kids are back at school and I have a little more time.
