Visit to the family health clinic

Today we went to the child and family health clinic to get Benji's skin looked at. The nurse said that it is ok at the moment. She said it's possible that he's getting some eczema (Tracie has had eczema since childhood). The nurse said that we should moisturise his skin with olive oil every day and that Tracie should be careful to eliminate the foods in her diet that effect her skin, as he may be allergic to the same things and be getting it through the breastmilk.

We also weighed our little boys.
Ethan weighs 4.45kg (9lb 12oz)
Benji weighs 3.9kg (8lb 9oz)

We can't believe how big they're getting! We saw other babies at the clinic, and there were some that were so small. It's hard to believe our boys were that small only 5 weeks ago.
