5 weeks

Today little man is 5 weeks old.

Mwah

He hasn't been the happiest this morning...I think it's because he has a bag around his willy to catch some urine to send away to make sure the candida infection has cleared up. I think it may be a little uncomfortable on his pecker.

A new doctor is on this week (one we haven't met anyway), he seems to take no mucking around by his staff, which is good and he wants to have a chat and 'get to know you' session with Phil and I. This, I'm not too keen on. I spend most of my day dodging doctors, and social workers...and have become quite stealthy of late.

Jensen has started on some new antibiotics today to try and rid him of the infection he is presenting but no one can find. His feeds have also gone back up to 5 ml two hourly after only a minor rest yesterday. One of the nurses gave him a dummy this morning as he was a little unsettled. He is always trying to suck on one of his fingers or thumb, so this has become his favourite little thing today, and he has been happy ever since.

Phil and I are just exhausted. We never seem to get enough sleep, even when we do. It's just going to be the new normal for now, and we should just get used to being tired all the time I guess, being new parents and all. It may be possible that we won't get a real sleep in until Jensen is a teenager....I think when we all get home we will just stare at him and hold him all day and night.
