Ewan had his 4wk 'well child checkup' today. Mum & Dad were amazed at how much bigger he looked when they arrived back from their trip last week, but it wasn't that obvious to us - we see him every day!

After all the issues we had with Isobel at the same point, I was a bit nervous about the visit - was I doing all the right things? Would the doctor give us a passing grade?

Apparently we're doing something right - he weighed in at 11lbs 10oz, nearly 3lbs up from his birthweight! I think he would've been even closer if I'd had time to feed him just before the appointment. He took his HepB needle pretty well, and was back to sleep by the time we were home again.

So now his weight gain is on track, I can graduate to demand feeding overnight and hopefully get some more sleep . Although not having to pump-and-freeze-and-defrost-and-sterillise-and-wash-bottles this time around is already making a huge difference in my 3am morale levels .
