On Tuesday we had our growth scan. Everything seems to be going along nicely, but the sonogropher didn't speak to us the entire time so I guess we'll just have to wait until we see the OB on Monday for a real report. One thing I can tell is she's a bit on the chubby side - almost all of her measurements are at least a week in front! Such a nice change to Sophie being small though. I'd much rather have a baby with a bit of excess fat to play with if she's going to have feeding problems.
Our plans to transfer her to the Mersey after I'm discharged looks like it will be changing now too. They have closed the paediatric unit there, and wont have paediatricians on call like they have in the past, so even if they would accept her in the maternity unit there is no way that she would be able to get the care that she would really need, or the care that she could get at Burnie. It makes me so mad,and I've been emailing the media and politicians trying to get the government to change their minds, but its not likely to do much good.
That's it for now, things have quietened down a little for the next week or so, maybe I'll be able to catch up on some rest!
