No wonder I eat so many weetbix

Cuinn had his 3 month Plunket check yesterday. Since his last check on 6th April, he's grown half a centimetre and put on half a kilo. So, it's not just me thinking the little monster is getting heavier.

So, he's kicking around the house at 62.5cm long and weighing in at 6.57 kilo.

It turns out too, after a visit to the Dr to get something for his snoz etc that our poor man was actually sick. Woops. He had a sore throat to go with his snots for Africa, and was running a temperature too. The Dr did give me a chart though which showed that I could double the dose of Pamol I was prescribed for him when he last got sick, so I loaded him up last night and he slept better - longer and more comfortably. Of course, after a 4 hour stretch when he'd only been doing one to two between feeds during the night, he woke up howling like his throat had been cut, but he great horror of starvation was easily fixed.

Now I'll just hope he comes out the other side nice and quick. We're going into Fertility Plus on Tuesday, on the anniversary of egg collection and therefore Cuinn being conceived, to meet the nurses and do a victory lap.

poor lil booger maker.

mind you, he might end up like his big cousin, who had a huuuuge sneeze on way to day care yesterday, and boogers streamed from nose to mouth before i could stop the car to sort it - at which amelia shouted "YUMMY" . . .

kids and snot are almost as bad as babies and poos.
good luck.

and oh sooooo lovely that you are celebrating his conception in such a grand manner. what a bloody marvelous year you have had, all things considered. if i were you, i would indulge in a celebratory hot chocolate or three. he is perfect, and you are doing an amazing job of getting him thru this tough time. enjoy. you have all earned it.
