Week 4...



Well, it's been an exhausting few weeks, but it's hard to believe that this wednesday you will be 4 weeks old already!! In a way it's nice to know that we are making it through the first three months - as these are known to be the most difficult - but on the other hand, you're growing up.... we have already put you in the next size up babygro's (o-3 months)as the newborn ones are too small on the feet. Your weight this week was 8lb 11oz, which was a whopping 10oz more than 5 days previous!! You have earnt the name chunky monkey!! and are growing into all that loose skin with ease!

Today we have a 2nd appointment at the osteopath, we have raised your mattress on the one end, we have also changed your milk to a comfort milk which enables easy digestion, and I have started doing massages on your tummy as seen on a link on the internet.
This past weekend we had our best night with you for a while. You went to sleep after your bottle at 8 and then woke at midnight for a feed, and again at 3am. Both times you settled back to sleep easily, and so we are hoping that we are slowly turning a corner.

Yesterday you had your longest car journey... we took your brother (and you) to the science museum and planetarium in Winchester. While your brother ran around like a hooligan experimenting with all the hands on apparatus, you slept, but chose to wake up as soon as we were seated in the planetarium waiting to see the show!! isn't that typical!?
