We were utterly amazed to see it clear overnight. She now has perfectly normal looking baby skin.&lt;br /&gt;Baby girl has also had a sticky eye for her entire life and this week it stopped being sticky, just like that! So no more green ooze. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Yah&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;Baby girl has also finally got the hang of sucking and has become a most efficient feeder taking a mere 15 minutes to get the job done. I know this doesn't compare with many babes who can complete a feed in 5 minutes! Up until this week &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;BG&lt;/span&gt; has taken 40 minutes to an hour so 15  minutes is dam fine!&lt;br /&gt;I feel so blessed every day to have her in my life.&lt;br /&gt;Everyday there are a hundred smiles. The look of love and delight when she first sees us is at times too much to bear.&lt;br /&gt;I want to bottle every moment because it all passes by so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;My heart melts every time I see her with her doting Dad.&lt;br /&gt;Action man laughs at the amount of photos I take. I don't think a day has gone by where she hasn't been filmed!&lt;br /&gt;On the 31st of July it was a year since her conception in a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;petri&lt;/span&gt; dish. A year, wow. This time last year I was beside myself with frustration and sadness. I had begun to think about facing up to a life without children and I was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;desperately&lt;/span&gt; trying to work out what I was supposed to do with myself in this life. I was the lowest I had ever felt. Everything around me seemed to be in shades of grey. My friend had just lost a baby at 20 weeks gestation. Life seemed very cruel. I didn't know how I was going to get the energy and the hope together to do one more cycle.&lt;br /&gt;But I did and oh how my life has changed.&lt;br /&gt;I hope so much for other women who are struggling to create their family. I really do. The struggle and pain is worth it, honestly :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22029591-1458996137866424276?l=babywhereareyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babywhereareyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1458996137866424276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22029591&amp;postID=1458996137866424276' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22029591/posts/default/1458996137866424276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22029591/posts/default/1458996137866424276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babywhereareyou.blogspot.com/2007/08/blessed.html' title='Blessed'/><author><name>Betty</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07707597032098969492</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17845718626323506187'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry>
