It was Emily's slightly belated 9 month check up at the hospital. Nick got held up at work and could not come, but I was OK apart from a language problem at the reception desk - had to ring Nick to get it sorted out. The doctor spoke enough English for me to understand her comments and be able to ask questions. Measurements were: length 76cm (99th centile) and weight 9.64kg (75th).
I asked about the haematoma and the doctor said that if it hadn't gone away in a couple of years we could consider seeing a plastic surgeon. I wouldn't want to subject her to anything like that unless it was causing her a lot of anxiety. We have also been slightly concerned that her two first toes (ie. next to big toe) look a bit out of alignment; sometimes the toe gets pushed above the others as though there wasn't enough space for it. No doubt that will right itself once she is walking and the toes get splayed out with her body weight; anyway, the doctor said we should see an orthopaedic consultant if we were worried about it, but she didn't think it seemed too problematic.
