Well we've just taken Gabbi for her monthly check.
We have measured her since we got home and yet again, the nurse has it wrong, but she does have to cope with crappy old instruments. The scales weigh heavier so she takes off some weight so again, it is a guess, but not far off. BUT the tape measure is right so it's down to her!!!
Ok, weight is 9.550 kgs which is 21 lbs 1 oz. For the last 4, months, she's more or less put on half a kilo each month, so she's nicely gaining and I'm not over feeding YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH.
Ok head circumference - well that's a different matter. For the last 4 months, nurse says she is 41 cm, not grown at all but today she said 40.5cm, is that possible??????????? Anyway, we measured her head. Got a piece of string and distracted her (she hates anything near her head!) and put this against the ruler and it turns out she's 42 cm!!!!!!! So who knows, maybe she's been gaining nicely over the last few months and I've been there worrying as her percentile dropped like crazy!
Her length, again, not sure. OH said nurse said 69 but we say 70.5 cm. I know there's not a huge difference but still, 1 1/2 cm to a baby is a lot! But maybe we are just picking!
She had her final hep jab until October, but I am sure there'll be others
She cried for a few seconds, but she was fine.
So she has gained 1 lb 3 oz, is this about right for 1 months growth?????
