7 Weeks Old Today




Well I don't know how I've managed to get this done today (considering I had two kids awake twice each at different times during the night) but here it is. Emily is 7 Weeks old today! She has, as always, grown and changed so much in the last week. She had her 6 week check up, and shots, last week and since birth she has grown 8cm making her 54cm long now! She has also broken the 4kg mark and as of last week weighs 4.08kgs! My baby loves her mummy's milk! She has been a little bit sick for the last week or so with a contagious virus that I am not even going to attempt to spell on here. She broke out in a rash that pretty well covered her face, head and neck. Not at all pretty and no doubt very uncomfortable also. With the virus she was also constipated, no fun for anyone, this was from Friday until this morning when dam number 2 broke and there was poo everywhere. All over her, all over me and well let's just say that Paul's (the landlord) couch will never be the same again...... Seeing as how she had only been doing wet nappies Riley asked if he could help me to change her this morning. He has obviously, as always, been watching me closely for the last 7 weeks and I must say he did a great job. He held her legs up correctly, he gave her a wipe and then put a clean nappy on her. Very sweet, I only wish I had videoed it. I will have to next time.

Wow - she looks so much bigger and so much more alert now. It just makes me so jealous that I can't be there to see all of this or that you guys aren't here. Oh well maybe with the next one?? LOL! She certainly is GORGEOUS but.

She takes after you Char - she's got the big chubba cheeks. LOL just kidding. I think that Riley would have done the whole nappy change thing so well too - probably would've handled it a little better than a certain aunty littl Bec could!!
