2 week checkup, misc

me and reagan
A week late, but better late than never!

Chloe weighed in at 8lbs 13oz, so she has more than gained back her birth weight (8lb3oz). Woo! Everything went well, no concerns or issues at all really. I did bring up her persistent yellowish tint, but our doctor didn't seem concerned since she is having regular bowel movements and it already peaked over a week ago (the bilirubim levels or whatever).



Good grief, I look exhausted


Scale picture!





She's doing pretty well. I haven't really gotten her used to the crib yet, and I'm kind of worrying about it now. I know she's only 3 weeks old, but Reagan napped in her crib as much as I could manage it and I think that was part of why she started sleeping in it so well so soon. I'm kind of nervous that since Chloe's main sleep areas are my arms or a swing/bouncy seat, it might take more work. Also we co-sleep, and I'll keep doing that a little longer as it is easier right now, but in a few weeks I am going to start focusing more work on getting her accustomed (sp) to the crib at night. Even if it's just an hour a night, it's more than she is getting now and hopefully it will help. She sleeps with me fine on the bed. Last night I was even able to scoot over and turn on my stomach with her nearby but not RIGHT against me, and sleep like that for half an hour or so. It's progress. :P

I also have a small hunch that she may be one of those kids who does not tolerate a wet or dirty diaper at ALL. Reagan was never phased at all by it - still isn't, really - but Chloe seems instantly calm and content as soon as I change her, even if she was screaming a minute beforehand. It's not always like that, but it happens enough to make me think the diaper itself is what is irritating her sometimes, and that's a new thing for me.

So I guess that's all for now! :)
