Yesterday Cooper was 6 weeks old and he had his 6 week check up with the paediatrician. He has put on 590 grams! He is steadily going up. At 2 weeks he had put on 390 grams, then at 4 weeks it was 490 grams. The only strange thing was that he seems to have shrunk! But the paediatrician says it can be hard to measure the length and that the last measurement by the clinic could be wrong. So we're not sure how much he has grown in length this time around.

Stats are:

BIRTH: Head circ - 35.2 cm / Length - 51.5 cm / Weight - 3630 g

2 WKS: Head circ - 36.7 cm / Length - 54.5 cm / Weight - 4020 g

4 WKS: Head circ – 37.5 cm / Length – 57 cm / Weight – 4510 g

6 WKS: Head circ – 38.5 cm / Length – 56.1 cm / Weight 5100 g

I was meant to have my 6 week check up yesterday with my OB but unfortunately he was in a car accident. I am now booked in to see him on Thursday.

DH is off work this week. I love having him around. Means I get out of the house more!

Baiza – I've added you to my MSN Messenger. Is this what you mean for chatting? Or have you set up some sort of chatroom? I love your ticker photo! What gorgeous kids!

Fraser – How's Charlie? We've got that Fess stuff too but haven't tried it yet. DH often gets big boogers out of Cooper's nose. It's surprising how bloody huge they are!

kmh – Hope you enjoyed getting your hair cut! Did you get anything fancy done?

Bubseykel – Yay for Danielle giving you big smiles! Isn't it just the best? Puts you in a great mood.

Shellbabe – I'm still using the shield. I've tried and tried without … at the start of a feed when he's really hungry or halfway through a feed when the nipple is drawn out. No luck. I give up I think. He's happy with the shield and therefore so am I. It's just a pain to use that's all.

chantal25 – Poor Zac. I hope he is doing much better now.
