well eden's 6 week check up was yesterday. it was pretty anticlimactic actually. i expected them to do way more. they basically poked him a little bit, put his nappy back on and sent us on our way.
he now weighs 10lb 14! they're very happy with his size, and says he looks well. he measures 56cm, which is his birth length... the health visitor said it's quite normal for babies to appear statistically as though they have shrunk, as at birth they are measured along their curves, and after that they are laid flat...
and then we had to return to the doctor today because when i went to pick up his prescription (they've given us something else to try for his wind, called 'colief'), the chemist told us to go about some white spots in his mouth,...which the doctor said was milk... and because at 3am this morning i awoke to him snorting and kind of gagging on mucus. lovely. the doctor was very nice but basically informed me that babies get colds and to just sit it through. oh well. least i know not to get paranoid (anymore)
so we have a poorly baby who isn't very happy about it, but getting lots of cuddles as a result... hopefully it'll pass quickly. we have some nose drops which are supposed to help him breath.

it is such fun to hear his and your voice that i have watched it several times yesterday and today- hope it is a good day at your house and that you are all feeling better.
