Emma 10 months Old – New Numbers
Time is flyyyyyying as usual, and Emma’s all of a sudden 10 months old!! (6 images total)
This is Emma, at 10 months and 5 days old.
I took her to the health clinic today for a well-baby checkup, and she measured as follows:
Emma’s Weight vs. Length numbers. She seems to have dropped a little weight relatively speaking, although that wiggle is about as bad as the one two visits ago, so maybe this is just noise? Those colored lines represent the 97th, 85th, 50th, 15th, and 3rd percentiles, as counted from the top line.
Yup, the weight is definitely on the move, line-wise. But we were warned that this would happen as she started to move about more. (Apparently this is pretty common with babies where the breastfeeding goes extremely well. ) Still, the nurse wanted me to start adding more fats to her diet, just to take the edge off of the weight “drop”.
Length-wise she’s staying pretty much right on track, so she’s not malnourished…!
Happy head? Probably?!
In other news, Anna spent the second day at home recovering from a bug she got early Monday morning. She’ll be going to school tomorrow.
(Which reminds me… don’t read if you’re squeamish! The night going into Monday was a bit atrocious. Anna vomited all over the bathroom floor, and I ended up cleaning it mostly blind because I forgot to grab my glasses on the way in, and once I’d stepped in some vomit splatters, there was no going out again until it was mostly cleaned up.
Thankfully, she managed and contained the next two spews herself (at 3 am and 4 am-ish) because I was so tired I barely had the sense to ask her if she was mostly ok before falling back asleep. Yay for being 10 years old!!
But, as she was going back to bed shortly after four, Emma roused herself, saw her sister, and that was it for sleeping. So I fed Emma, put her in her crib to play, crawled into the office bed, conked out… until 5 am when Bjarki woke up asking repeatedly if he could go play.
Emma got antsy around 6 am, so I fed her again, plunked her down in her crib again, and then conked out for a few minutes before Bjarki whined about being hungry. I got him fed, clothed and off to school on time, and then collapsed into bed with Emma at 8 am.
Finnur arrived sometime around 9 am, and by the time Emma and I awoke at 10 to go to the gym, he was fast asleep. We returned at 1 pm to wake him up and go to bed ourselves.
Meanwhile, Anna stayed in bed the entire day, sprouting a fever towards the end of the day, so she was stuck at home for another day.
Well, that was a fun night-day combo… NOT!)
