Baby Emma Blog

In keeping with a promise to myself, I’ve decided that the only way to keep an account of the first few weeks of Emma’s birth is to blog it with daily discourse and late night meanderings!

Health Nurse Visit

Emma had her visit to the Health Nurse today, to get measured and weighed. It's amazing how Lill organises all three girls to get them to anyplace, it's a logistic nightmare! The dry figures: she weighs 4.86kg, is 57.8cm long and has a head circumference of 37.4cm. This is average. She has gained 420 grams in a month, and again, it's average but at this stage of the game, we will probably expect a growth spurt to come on.

While they were there, Lill popped in to the chemist so she could have passport photos done for Emma for her trip in October. The twins decided to help out by trying to get Lill to buy half the lollies on the stands, as well as trying to convince her to buy Mylanta, Fishermens Friend and several creams of embarrassing desriptions. Yep, that's my girls!

ODD SPOT: Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

P.S: If you're ambidextrous do you split the difference?
