Oh Bec! Here is my worth! That doc sounds horrible and don't you dare listen to her! We've had many discussions in here about weight of the babies, and the conclusion is that there has to be some babies at the 0 line and some at the 100 line, otherwise how do they get the 50th line??? Some babies grow slower than others, or will always be under average due to genetics, but that doesn't mean they are underweight. My bub is one of them. We had a scare a few weeks ago where he only put on 60gms in 4 weeks, but the last 4 weeks he put on 700gms and before that he always put on weight at a steady, but slow rate. He is on the 10th percentile for weight and HC, but his height is at the 50th line. My health nurse has looked at him and said that he is happy, he looks healthy and in proportion so there is no problem. And from what I can see in your photo Grace looks healthy, in proportion and cute as a button!
Leasha - I have those ice cube trays too for the same reason. Haven't got round to buying the veges yet to put in them! lucky he's not yet on solids! We also have the bumbo with the tray and it is really good for his toys. They too get pushed off but I think that is half the fun for him!
MM - Yay on putting an offer on a house! Exciting times for you! It will be so nice for you to move in to a house that you love! Is it on realestate website? Are there pics we can see? I hope V's scratch heals up quickly. Strange for a scratch to keep bleeding though... I hope it is nothing to worry about either.
Mel - Just thought you needed one!
to everyone else!
Jett is still snuffly, but at least he didn't wake up in the middle of the night again last night. He has actually slept most of today, but was a bit grizzly when he was awake. Hopefully this will pass soon.
I was writing my birth story the other night (link is in my sig if you are interested, but don't feel obliged ) and I was going through our old belly buddies thread. It brought tears to my eyes reading all the excitement we all had as people went and had their babies (eg. Squidipa), or were waiting for something, anything to happen (Kel and Sasha). Vic was offering cheers of support and eviction! I was right back there while reading it, even though I wasn't able to be on line then. I just thought I would share that with you! Worth a read if you can be bothered!!
