Today Dad didn't leave early on his bike, but instead sat on the couch with his laptop on his lap. He said he was working from home this morning so that we could all leave at lunchtime for another long weekend away, this time to Busselton to stay with Russell, Karen and 10 month old Amber. First, Mum took me to the Swanbourne Clinic to get me weighed, just checking that I'm putting on weight and doing all the right things.
Once we were on our way, we stopped for lunch by the Dawesville Cut in Mandurah where Mum fed me while Dad ate pies from the award winning Miami Bakehouse (then Mum scoffed hers down before we continued on our way.) Next stop was Bunbury, this was another pitstop for my benefit (afternoon tea for me) and to visit Yien, Mike, Jessica and Olivia. After I was fed and Yien had finished sniffing me (she loves the smell of babies!) we hit the road again for Busselton. We arrived around 6pm and I was soon fed (yes again) and for the first time ever, I was fed by three breasts! (This morning the clinic nurse had suggested to Mum that she feed me on one breast, then the other and then back to the first one to hopefully get me a shot of cream and to stimulate the production of more milk!) I knew none of this and went to bed pondering the appearance of a third breast and wondering how Mum had kept it hidden for so long!
