She is doing really really well, so well that we do not need to see him again for 6 weeks. Generally he likes to see them more often but she is far too well to be seeing him all the time (yay a Dr who doesn't see $$$ signs!)
Her new stats at 5 weeks old (38w6d corrected) were
Weight - 2960g (she was 3kg on our scales)
Length - 48cm (she has grown 6cm in 5 weeks
Head circ - 33.5
He gave her a good check over and since she is doing so well and looks nice and pink he isnt going to take any bloods. There is no point taking blood from a pink baby to check for anaemia....yay because i was really dreading taking her at this age to have blood taken. That being said if she does start to look pale/show signs of anaemia then we are to go back and get a bloods referral.
So it is all good....am very happy to get a clean bill for the first appointment - i was doing my head in worrying that all wouldn't be good!
