Update 4 - 6 weeks old - 22/02/2006

I can't believe we are nearly at the end of February - where is this year going.....before I know it I will be organising a 1st birthday.

We have now reached the 6 weeks mark - and had our 6 week check up. She is doing really well, ear are great, eyes are great and heart/lungs great. In two days she has grown 1.5 cm and gained 20 grms. She now weighs 4.85kg and is 57cm long. She has now grown out of the four 0 clothes and has moved into triple 0 clothes. We also reached a milestone, she has out grown the new born nappies and is into the next size (crawlers). My baby is growing up so quickly.

In two weeks (8th March) she has the first of her immunisations - I know she does not expect them and will probably forget, but I am not looking forward to them at all. I was thinking of sending James to the doctor with her so that I am not seen as the bady, but Nicole had a good idea which I think I will take up.....she said, babys do not remember the injections but 2 - 5 year olds do - so I should do the baby injections then send James for the later ones so that he is the bady and not Mummy - excellent idea Nicole, just don't tell James that this is the plan....shhhhhhhhh it is our little secret.

Speaking of James he is in Brisbane for the next 3 days so the 'girls are doing it for themselves'. This will be a real test for me - can I survive not having the evening support - hmmmmmm? At the moment (day 1) we are doing fine, considering she has been asleep since 11.30 ( now 3pm). I have managed to get a few things done which is wonderful. James has already rung us 3 or 4 times, I think he is missing us already.

Have to go now....Charlotte is just waking up and before long will be the crys of "feed me, feed me" - enjoy the new photos.
