The community nurse came to the house yesterday to have a look at Nio.
Everything looks really great and she's really happy with his development.
She didn't measure his length, but did measure his head circumference...which was 36cm. It was 34cm at birth.
In other good news...he's up to 3.3kg! Nearly back to birth weight. He's put on nearly 300g in less than a week! :D
Over the weekend, I started giving him a bottle of ebm (expressed breast milk) for his 6am (approx) feed. I'm up anyway...and this way, Louise can get a bigger block of sleep. It's also great for me...because I have an hour where it's just me and Nio (and Freya watching intently).
There's not much that is as beautiful as a baby looking into your eyes as he feeds.
I continue to be amazed by him every single day.
I also find that I'm thinking about Thomas more than usual too. Maybe because Nio looks so much like him...maybe because I just miss Thomas so much...maybe both.
