Hi All,
Sorry I havn't blogged for a while, just so busy around the house! I feel like I am hooked up to Mia and her feeding pump at least 7 hours a day and she is still vomiting most of her feeds, so then cleaning her and myself up after that!
It is really good to be at home though. Mia is such a happy baby and giving Richard and myself so much joy and love. It is a really hard road at the moment, but we wouldn't swap her for the world! We knew things were going to be hard. Still just trying to fatten her up for her next operation, likely in February. Last week she put on 110g, so still on the increase although slowly. We are hoping to push the big 4kg this week! (only 60g to go......)
Mia's favorite things are Daddy singing James Blunt's "Beautiful", staring at her purple elephant, and sticking her tounge out at anyone she can. I think she learnt that from a beautiful little girl at the hospital, Alyssa!!
Thanks for all the comments, it seems the Blog site is a hit with all, especially those interstate and overseas.
Lots of love

Hi to you all
We really do enjoy reading how things are going - not surprised you've not had time to update - it's bad enough at this age in a well baby's life! One day you will find that your clothes are no longer covered with vom as long as they don't get near the strawberry patch! Richard will explain again no doubt!

Best love to you all, Jonathan and Nicky xx

More big hugs to all from Mexico, currently being a beach bum here in Huatulco but you know that I'd do my fair share of puke clearing if I was there. Really appreciate the site as you know.

lots of love

Oh the joys of a newborn eh? Doesn't seem to matter what colour clothes you wear, baby vom vom still makes it's presence obvious. Glad to hear all's ok, but you might want to get Mia's hearing checked if she likes Richards singing!!! Tara and I have had a cold but we're nearly all better so hope to visit soon. If you ever want to get out of the house for a while you're always welcome at our house for a visit. Love Lou and Tara.

Hi,
I've been logging on regularly and the last time I wanted to leave my heartfelt best wishes for Mia & all of you there was a glitch on the site. It's a brilliant way to keep every one informed & Mia looks absolutely gorgeous [what a lovely smile] very much like her grandmum Barbie, Barbie & I have been friends for "only" 53 years.
Love to you all .....Yetti xx

Haven't logged in for a week so good to hear of slow progress. Just think, we'll see the young lady in 6 weeks or less. Love to you both, Joan & Beresford
P.S. Must be time for another photo, Richard
