Poor little Monkey is a little cranky these days. She has a rash all over her face, neck and shoulders which looks just awful. The doctor called it the "six weeks rash" and said it can last from weeks 4 to 8. It doesn't seem to bother Carmen at all - it bothers me much more! She also is still not getting much sleep - this week she averaged about 11 hours in a 24 hour period, which is pretty terrible. As you can imagine, she is pretty grizzly for her awake hours. She only catnaps during the day, and has at least one long cranky time (last night in the middle of the night!). But luckily we have gotten in to QE2 and will be going there from Wednesday through Sunday. Hopefully they can help! I have to imagine that these nurses see SO many babies, they'd have to have some tricks up their sleeves. I'll let you know.
Carmen also got her 6 weeks shots this past week. I was such a chicken - I asked Mum to come meet me at the doctor's, and then I had her take Carmen in to get the shots while I stayed out in the waiting room covering my ears with tears in my eyes while the office lady told me it was OK to cry! Then I went in and had to get a shot too, and it's no wonder Monkey cried! It bloody-well hurt! So, this coupled with her crap sleeping habits and her rash are the reasons why Carmen looks so grumpy in the photos below.
She just looks ADORABLE!!! to me. I honestly LOVE her so much already. I think you will have a hard time prizing her away from me when we come to visit... I hope I dont just "forget" to come back from the bathroom and accidently put her in my babysling and bring her back to Brisbane. But it wont be my fault, I WUBS HER!

Right now I wouldn't mind a bit if you took her back to Brisbane. I'd like her back when she's, say, 18 years old!
