Where do you guys get your 4 week checks done? I didn't actually do one. I was supposed to go to CAFHS for a look around and stuff last week, but don't have a car for a while. When I called them though they weren't going to do much other than show me around, if I wanted more I'd have to make an appointment. Other than that we'll be getting a check up at 8 weeks when Belley gets her needles I weighed her last night though (just by taking my weight off our combined weight) and at 5 weeks she's about 5.5kg. And she's 58cm!! Put a 0000 suit next to her and it looks so small lol. Sounds like she's very similar to William Bskilner, weight & length wise.
Far out Tara, that's a long drive! And here I was worried about 3 hours lol.
We've suddenly had good sleeping! It's unreal! Last night she went down at 10, woke up at 3, down at 3:30, up at 6, down at 6:30 and up at 9. That last one really had me confused, she doesn't normally do that one! And now she's gone down again at 11:15. I feel kind of lost when she's asleep in her room lol.
MoT, hooray for Hudson rolling! I'm not sure when Belley will do that, I don't really leave her on her tummy by herself for long. I play with her a bit on her tummy, as long as she likes it, but she can't really get her legs up under her with the bulky cloth nappies - dunno if that makes a difference. She's happy to play around on her back on her play gym mat thingy, but not so much on her tummy because she can't see things.
I find it kind of funny that Hudson still isn't the same weight as Annabelle was at birth! He's the same length now as she was, and her head was half a cm bigger lol. Dunno what I'd do with such a tiny little bub.
And yep, she was definitely picking up on a stressed out Mummy the other night! Now I give her straight to DH when he comes home and have a shower. He plays with her or settles her with a dummy or whatever (still have to hold the dummy or she spits it out lol). Have also found that if we use the dummy and other settling techniques rather than have her thrash around on the boob, by the time she's properly hungry the milk's built up more, she gets a better feed, then settles better and sleeps better. Touch wood anyway, I'm hoping she keeps up what she started last night!
Have fun with your newborn pics! We did ours on Saturday with Pixifoto. They're not great, but still alright. Wouldn't use them again though, and if we had the cash I'd go somewhere else now and get better ones done. 15 minutes is not long enough to photograph a baby, and they didn't listen to what we wanted
