five weeks
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
First home visit from the Plunket nurse today, who's taken over from the midwife. She handed me a ton of bumph (sp?), exclaimed over the great beauty of both my girls, and then seriously pissed Maggie off by weighing and measuring her, which required her to be stripped off, which she hates. Cheered me up though: at five weeks old, she weighs 4.62 kg, having put on an entire kilo since birth. Clearly she is getting some good quality boobie.
She essayed another tentative, wide-mouthed smile at her gran yesterday. However, she has yet to smile at me, the person who gave her life, and the source, what's more, of the good quality boobie on which she continues to thrive. Humph.
Still, I can console myself with the fact that this afternoon we, my mother and I, that is, have achieved the Holy Grail of parenting: both of them are having naps at the same time. I've even been for a short walk. Am going to creep off now and make the most of it before the spell breaks.
