Six Weeks
More like 6 weeks and 5 days but who is counting
Ru had his 6 week check up today, i guess it did go well but really we were in and out so quickly that any number of things could be wrong and no one would care. Ok maybe thats not true - hips/boy parts (i am refusing to use the T word, who knows what sort of hits it would bring this blog) and heart all look/sound great. Took head circumference which was on the 91st centile but he did not actually tell us what is was . Weight was 12lbs 6oz (gained 3lbs 5oz since birth ) .
I had a big rant planned at the state of the health care but i seemed to get the worst of my anger out venting to my mum . Our health visitors disappeared over night to be replaced by various different people , as im a third time mum and not “vulnerable ” (what ever that means) our family are of no interest to them .
The 6 week check is the only check our children get and i did not even get to speak with a health visitor but just a doctor who wanted us gone as soon as possible to move onto the next patient.
Blah Blah Blah , i just don’t have the energy for it just now. Instead how about some pictures of my little ones
My little sick girl, she is on the mend though .
