6 weeks check up

She went in for her 6 week check up today.

She weighed 10lbs 3oz, so exactly 2 pounds heavier then birth.
She's right on track developmentally.  Cooing and smiling is about it at this point.  The doctor was impressed with her grip and neck strength.
She did get put on Zantac to try and help her reflux.  Stuff comes up her throat every time she eats and screams in pain so hopefully that fixes it because otherwise she is such a good and happy baby!

We go back in about 3 weeks for her next round of shots because we will be on the road or in New York by the time her next appointment should be :)

She's such a ham!

1 Month

I can't believe it's already been a month since she was born!
We don't have her next appointment until she's 6 weeks, so I don't have any stats until then.


She's still such a good baby. She's in mostly newborn clothes now, but we're making the transition up. She loves her breastfeeding pillow.  She sleeps in it every night.  Right now she doesn't even get rocked to sleep at night.  I just lay her in that and she's out for about 3-4 hours at a time.  She just wakes up to eat and then I lay her right back down and she's out until the next feeding.  I'm anticipating this will change as she gets a little older, but i'm hoping nott :)  Casen needed to be rocked right from the start.
She's still nursing awesome.  No complaints there.  I can't believe how much smoother this time around is going.  She has really bad gas and we've noticed that every time she eats she brings it back up and kind of chews it back down, so we're going to mention it to the doctor at the next visit.  I'm thinking its probably just reflux or i'm going to have to cut dairy out of my diet.  I usually pump and bring a bottle when we go out anywhere, just a personal preference, and I really like the Nuk bottles and pacifiers, which I guess I need to mention that she loves her pacifier!  That should make our road trip a little easier. 
That's about it for this update.  Not much happens in the first couple months.  She's battling some sort of cold type sickness these past couple days and its the saddest thing to see.

I didn't even attempt to get a good picture since she can barely breath

42 weeks :)

Only 5 pounds to go til pre-baby weight (nursing does wonders)....and then the diet and exercise begin!  And we have one healthy little lady.  She's back up to her birth weight and is such a blessing to us.
