Today we've been to a baby clinic to see our health visitor and to get weighed. Vera weighed 4.2 kgs - up half a kilo since her last weigh in. This is great news, but in a way not surprising as Vera eats often and a lot!
One of the ladies working in the baby clinic assumed that Vera was a boy because of the outfit she is wearing and the fact that her blanket had green and blue animals on it. Hmmm. Not sure I like this gender stereotyping...
Here is an article on the subject that some of you may find interesting:
