Sophie not herself.

My back was pretty munted this morning, so after spending 20 minutes trying to get out of bed and crawling to the loo, I decided to take the day off work. So I went to the Docs to get some really good pain killers and worked from home most of the day. The good thing is that I got to spend three days in a row with Sophie so it wasn't all that bad.

Sophie hasn't quite been herself recently, but you'd never guess from this photo...what a little cutie!

Today, Ingrid took Sophie along to Plunket for another routine check-up. The little fatty has grown shit-loads since her last weigh-in, but the nurse did say she might be a bit crook at the moment, given her erratic sleeping patterns and constant grizzling recently. Sophie hasn’t been herself for over a week or so. When she wakes in the morning, she normally talks to herself for a good 20 minutes, but not anymore, it’s now straight into the grizzles. She’s been sneezing a few times in the past couple of days too and even starting crying during bath-time which is her favourite time of the day! Ingrid’s taking her to the docs later on this week for another once over.

Tomorrow though, we’re taking Sophie to Starship Hospital. During her last doctors visit they detected a slight heart murmur/irregularity - it sounds really bad, but the Doc said it’s not that uncommon in newborns, but best to get it checked out obviously. In saying that, it’s taken about 4 weeks to get an appointment there! Will let you know how we get on.
