Express Service

I'm glad Cat can laugh in the face of adversity. These past couple of weeks have seen some quite trying times and Cat has always pulled through. She's a strong person, characteristics that seemingly have been transfered to our little one.
Today, Cat yelled for me to come over as she was showering. Oh no, I thought, an accident? No, Cat called to show me how her nipples were lactating in response to the noise of the shower. The milk from her breasts were gushing outwards in unison with the shower!
Then later, as she was feeding Aimee with the bottle, Cat was leaking so much milk she was drenched and we had to change the entire bed sheets. Mother nature is a wonderful thing - but she sure is messy!

Poor Aimee has developed acne. Yes, acne just like a teenager. Apparently it is very common in young babies but it looks awful. It covers her nose half way across her cheekbones and sopme on her forehead. There is no solution other than to cleanse with sterile water everyday and hope it goes away. We reckon it started the moment she went on to all-breast milk diet. Cat's hormones must be having an effect. But we hope it won't last and the benefits of breast diet must outweigh these drawbacks.

I eventually got round to unboxing my new camcorder and have been shooting pics of Aimee's many contorted facial features as she is held by various people. The most amusing incident was when I jokingly narrated that she looked like she was about to explode a bowel movement, and right on cue, she produced a massive stinker of atomic proportions. I refrained from filming the nappy change. Some things should never be seen.
