6 Week Check-up

Xander with his midwife Kristin


Xander had his last appt. yesterday with Kristin yesterday and got a clean bill of health. He is still growing like a weed. He's gained 3lbs and 5 oz since he was born, for a whooping 11 lbs, 6 oz. He's grown 10 cm in length, and is now 62.5 cm. His head has grown 3.5 cm and is now 40 cm.

Sadly, it was our last appt with Kristin. We have an appt. with our family dr. in two weeks. I think he will get his immunizations at this appt. I guess we'll need to decide which ones to give him. Things have changed since we were kids. They even offer chicken pox vaccines - whatever happened to sending all the kids in the neighbourhood down to the basement to play when one of them got the chicken pox???????
