Six weeks
Ewan has now made it to 6 weeks - being 6 weeks early, he is now just past his due date. At almost 3.3 kg, he is a bit bigger than Aidan was when he was born.
Ewan is acting more like a newborn now - waking more often for feeds, starting to fix and follow.
It is a bit odd - you have started something, reached a certain point, then the clock is set to zero and you start again.
Today we went for our 6 week check - all is well. The doctor wrote "thriving little boy" in his Plunket book. (I love it when they write nice things in their books!).
And then there were the injections. Ewan got his done while the doctor was checking me over. He seemed to take it in stride and the only reaction seems to be a bit of lethargy this evening. Aidan had his four year old injections immediately beforehand. He seemed to take this in stride, but one arm has been sore this afternoon and he is a little out of sorts. This is despite Isabelle's lurid descriptions of her injections: "I felt as if the needle went RIGHT IN to the bone, then out the other side!". Afterwards he got to choose a treat. He chose a chocolate "N". Why the N I'm not entirely sure, but he did say that it was the letter at the end of his name.
This was also the first time we had left the house (except for a couple of walks to the post box down the road for me) since our return from hospital. It was good to be out again (although opportunities are slightly limited for a family of six with a five-seater car).

Absolutely.
Especially since dd came home on her due date. For me, though, it was good to feel like we were making a new start.
