Sarah had her two week check up today and she is doing great! She weights 8lbs 8ozs now and is 21 3/8 inches long. She needs to be gaining about 1/2 oz a day and she is at over an ounce right now. I confirmed that I don't have to wake her up at night which makes me feel much better about letting her sleep for chunks of time when
I can get it. She goes back at 2 months for her next well check but the doc says that I am welcome to bring her in if I am worried about her fussing around 4-6 weeks. I guess this is a common time for her to ramp up her fussiness and lots of new parents bring their little ones in. I love her pediatrician! Also, we did our first feeding and diaper change outside of the house at the doctor's office. Thankfully that went well too.
This is my last full week with help so I am doing my best to enjoy every second before Sarah and I are on our own. SCARY! :)

I'm sure you'll do great! Just the thought of having to nurse a baby and change their diaper in public for the first time makes my palms sweat. Good thing all I have for now is a silly little dog that requires no such attention.
ReplyDeleteHow are the cloth diapers?
It was funny, we accidentally got some poop on the exam table changing the diaper and the doctor comes in and goes, well her poop looks great. LOL It was so nice of her to make my first diaper out a huge poop.
ReplyDeleteCloth diapering is going great! I love them. It is so much easier then I thought it was going to be. It is just one load of laundry a day and the cloth absorbs so much more of the poop and pee so it is cleaner to change her. It only took a couple of changes to get used to cloth. I had my mom and my sister singing its praises by the time they left too.
