Went to baby clinic for the first time today, which wasnt nearly as much of a palava as I have feared. In fact, we were ready to go in plenty of time and timed it all perfectly. Didnt have to queue when we got there, just went straight in.
Willow did a huge wee as I put her on the scales though, which was very funny. Luckily she only got herself and the scales, both myself, Oren and the HV managed to miss being hit!
Willow weighs 11lbs 4.5oz - so still sitting perfectly on the 50th percentile. Im really happy, because it was at this point last year that I had supply problems with Oren, and clearly I dont have any with Willow. Well done to us both!

Six week check
Today Willow is 6 weeks old, so she had her 6week pre check with the HV.
Willow is 10lbs 7oz today, on her 6 week birthday. She is sitting firmly on the 50th percentile which I am delighted about. Am feeling a lot more confident in my ability to produce what she requires. I think eating and drinking enough is making a big difference – I really do seem to have more milk on the days when I have remembered to drink lots of water.
Willow’s thrush seems to have reoccured but the HV wasnt that concerned, as it was just patches on her cheeks but her tongue was clear. Hopefully we will be able to clear it up before it spreads to my nipples again, as I just cant take the awful pain with accompanies it!
When the HV put Willow on her tummy, we were both amazed at how she totally lifted her head up and had a look around, holding it perfectly. I knew her head was strong, and I had seen her lift it before, but this was really something. Oren was 9 weeks when he lifted his head like this, and the HV comfirmed that she didnt normally see a baby with such strong head control until they were 12 weeks! Our little girl is so strong and clever!!
Willow is really starting to coo a lot now and gives lovely smiles – I just havent managed to catch them on camera yet which is very frustrating!

Baby's first swimming lesson!
Well Willow attended her first swimming lesson today, at the grand old age of 5 weeks and 5 days old!
Oren has been going to lessons for months now, but it was Willows first time and she looked so tiny in the pool! Funnily, Willow seemed to enjoy the class more than Oren did, as Oren was definitely having a grumpy day. Was a great way to spend a Saturday morning, and next week Willow's boyfriend Oscar will be coming to class too - so something to look forward to!
