11.35kgs. It's amazing what makes you happy and stops you stressing. Annika has finally put on some weight!! Well we weighed Annika for the fifth time since we came back from Austria and she now weighs 11.35kgs, up from 10.85kgs when weighed 2 weeks ago. Of course, like the stress machine I like to be, I think 500gms is too much weight to put on in 2 weeks!! But I know that our paediatrician at the hospital will be happy now!! We have been asked to put Polycal (20cal per 5g scoop) in Annika's food which we have been doing for the last 2 weeks but I feel they are worrying too soon about Annika's eating and lack of weight gain. We'll definitely stop the polycal if she puts on too much weight. I do wonder if they would worry if she was too fat (Annika was overweight when she was 7 months old and entirely tube fed but that didn't seem to worry them, the more weight she put on the happier they were - the only one who mentioned she was overweight was the plunket nurse, who also was the only one who noticed that Annika had a squint).
Bella is enjoying her christmas holidays. So far she's flown to Christchurch and spent 6 nights at her Uncle Jimmy's, with her Nana, which she loved. Done most of her craft things that she got for christmas; painting a mask, making a fairylite (ahh! nothing like the smell of melting plastic in the oven), made a rainbow fairy mobile. She has also started swimming lessons today and decided she would like to do ballet and gym if possible this year?! "But I'll only do gym if it's on at the same time as ballet, Mum".
Here's some great photos from the end of last year.
