I had a good nights sleep last night, waking up at 6:30 which is a good 60 to 90 minutes later than I have recently. I approve of this change.

Milo got mail this morning, some lick e lixs from pensnest and I got mail from her too ♥ Milo has had two of the licks already and Murphy one as he gave me such a look of betrayal that he didn't get one that I couldn't resist giving him a treat too.

I was a bit worried about Milo yesterday as he threw up twice, the second time meaning I had to wash his cat bed, but he seems so much better this morning. The vet seems to think it could be a 24-hour bug as he's eating and drinking today and his wound looks good, I also suspect it could have been the painkillers he's on upsetting his stomach. He's always so much more alert when they wear off after 12 hours, but I don't want to wean him off them yet until the vet says as he's bound to be in pain and cats are masters of hiding that.

We got to see Bodhi and she's adorable. Such a gorgeous tiny scrap of a baby and I really enjoyed my cuddle time with her. Kayleigh and Lucy are utterly in love with her and Kayleigh especially is posting up a storm on social media, but I love that. Seeing them so happy and excited is a beautiful thing and she makes me laugh when she describes things like the first night at home -- which boiled down to, things went a bit pearshaped and all their careful plans were abandoned when confronted with a baby who needed feeding and changing and burping multiple times during the night.

I picked up my new compression wraps but while the straps had gone down in size like my lymph nurse measured for, they were only regular size and not long, meaning not enough straps so they didn't reach my knees, leading to a muffin top leg effect. After some phone calls it turns out one of the doctors had written the script wrong -- the lymph nurse sends the measurements to my doctor surgery who then writes the actual script and approves it. The wraps cost £200 so I'm only supposed to get one set every six months at best, so someone will be getting a slapped hand as these ones can't be sent back and I need the exact size.

James is off doing tip runs from my MiL's house so I'm staying home with the cats. I need to get some cleaning done, and make an attempt to catch up online, but to my delight, there was a Christmas movie on Movies 24 so my background watching is making me happy.

Aww that’s sweet of them to send stuff. Poor Milo being sick, hopefully it is ep just the painkillers

Awww 🖤

I really do think it's the painkillers upsetting his stomach. Of course, it could have been a bug but it would have come out of nowhere.

I'm glad you got enough sleep and that Milo got some treats in the mail. How sweet.

I loved that Milo got mail, and he loved when I opened the treats for him *g*

Lucky Milo to receive such nice mail! And lucky Murphy to get a share.

I guess it's not shocking that a newborn would overthrow all pre-made plans, but I hope they all three get some more rest soon.

That's very annoying about your wraps. I hope they get you the right ones without further hassle for you!

You wouldn't think cats could be especially expressive, but Murphy was so put out when Milo got treats and he didn't *g*

They all seem to be getting into a routine now in terms of baby care. Both Kayleigh and Lucy are exhausted, but that's to be expected. So far this morning I haven't had my usual early morning message so hopefully, they're getting a bit of a lie-in.

The person I was talking to seemed to think the new wraps should be in within a few days. I'm a bit dubious about that claim, but I guess I'll see Monday.

Awww, poor Murphy! Such unfairness giving Milo licks but not him :-) Lancecat loves and adors the lick e lixs Pen sends him so I'm not suprised your cats do too.

I think it's fairly probably it's the painkillers that's upsetting Milo's stomach. Sadly painkillers often seems to have this effect on both animals and humans. Maybe some yoghurt could help settle his stomach? I know it often helps for humans.

Sounds like the new family is enjoying themselves!

How very vexing! I hope you get a pair that fits soon.

Both Milo and Murphy love the lix. I'm sure Pansy would too if she came downstairs. But Milo has been getting the most as a treat after his meds.

Thankfully he's stopped vomiting, no doubt because he's having fewer painkillers now so I do think it was them. He probably would have liked yoghurt though, he tends to like it when he can lick the lid.

Hopefully, I can pick up the wraps tomorrow. I'm using the too short ones but they tend to creep as they don't reach my knees.
