I forgot to say the other week, well last week in fact, that Marcail had been to see the health visitor up at the surgery and had been weighed. She came in at a rather pleasing 7lbs 6oz, which put her well ahead of her birth weight of 6lbs 13oz. Well, mother and daughter were up there again today for another weight in and check up. The results are in and she is now confirmed as 7lbs 13oz! That’s an ounce a day, which seems like an impressive growth rate to me.
No other faults were found, so no need to put a warranty claim in either, which is a relief. There was some question about the quality of her seal, but that was inspected today and found to be within the expected range and therefore nothing to worry about. She is now really noticeably getting bigger in her sleep suits, in the bath and around the cranium. Before we know it we’ll be another of those parents wheeling around an enourmous heid struggling to perch on a tiny set of shoulders.
Interaction is coming on thick and fast too. She’s looking more intently, starting to appear as though she’s batting at things occasionally and continuing to drink in everything around her. Sleep has been better the last few days too, which is really helping with Mummy and Daddy morale. I guess it’s just great to be a parent at the moment, we’re having a good phase just now. But, shhhh, don’t tell anyone. I don’t want to jynx it!
