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!

Final Score

No Jessica last night, as she decided to spend the night at my in-laws. She really loves her Nannu (English: grandpa!)! Things are a lot quieter when the twins are seperated. And it gave me some time with Sarah and Emma, too. Especially because Emma will be away for 3 weeks! I wonder how much she'll change? Just yesterday, Emma went to the health nurse and these are her stats to date:

Weight: 5.735kg
Height: 63cm
Head Circumference: 39cm

Apparently, she's still on the small side, almost a kilo less than the twins were at this age, but the twins were bottlefed and supplemented with formula, which is a lot heavier than breast milk. There's nothing to worry about, and Emma's early foray into solids should help change things for the heavier in the next few weeks.

Sarah's very much a homebody, like me! It takes a bit of effort and cajoling to get her to stay with my in-laws. However, she loves my parents, especially my mother. I have a feeling I may find myself travelling between two sets of parents a lot just so each girl can spend the night with their favourite grandparent! And so the taxi service begins... You know, I can see myself actually looking forward to them getting their driver's license!!! But not quite yet! Let's not have them grow up quite so fast...!!!

ODD SPOT: German submarine U-120 was sunk by a malfunctioning toilet.

P.S: Imagine the poor schmuck who initiated the fatal flush...!!!
