Hej,

Idag ar Lewis redan en vecka gammal. Jag var till Child Health (typ BVC) idag och allt var bara bra. Som jag hade anat sa var Lewis langre an hur de matte efter forlossningen. Idag var han 53.5cm lang och jag tror knappast han har vuxit 2.5 cm pa en vecka. Han ar smal och lang. Likasa ar fingar och tar sa han blir nog lang som vuxen som sin pappa. Han har ocksa redan nastan natt sin fodelsevikt (4014g) for idag vagde han 4kg. An sa lange sover han mest hela dagarna vilket ar skont. Utmaningen ar att se till att hans storasyster inte nyper eller river honom vilket hon har gjort nagra ganger redan. Man kan inte slappna av i ens 2 sekunder. Men sa ar det ju med smabarn, speciellt Layla for hon har nypt och rivit manga andra i sina 2.5 ar.

Nu raknar vi dagar tills Gabriella och hennes familj kommer till Brisbane tidigt i April. Langtar ocksa tills nar Anette kommer hit den 10:e April. Det ska bli underbart att antligen fa spendera tid tillsammans. Hoppas bara varmen ger med sig innan hon kommer. Igar var det +35 och idag ar det +33 grader. Kram, Agneta

Hi,

Today Lewis is almost a week old. I took him to see the Child Health Nurse today and all was well. As I had suspected they didn't do a very good job measuring Lewis after his birth as today he was 53.5cm long. I doubt very much that he has grown 2.5cm in a week. His fingers and toes are really long too so he will probably be a tall adult like his daddy. He has also almost regained his birthweight of 4014g as today he weighed 4kg on the dot. So far he spends most of his days sleeping. The challenge is to keep him safe from his loving sister who also likes to see his and our reaction when she pinches him or gives him a bit or a scratch. It is quite stressful although it is normal toddler behaviour. Especially for Layla who has given a few pinches and scratches to people in the past. I hope this phase will pass soon. We are trying to give her plenty of love and attention and making her feel involved but it is a challenge, that is for sure.

Otherwise we are counting down the days Gabriella & co comes to Brisbane early April as well as my sister getting here on the 10th of April. Love, Agneta X
