Bella and I enjoyed our first week at home alone. She sure keeps me busy! Sometimes she is wanting to eat every hour, but the doctor said these "cluster feedings" are normal and are just indications that she is going through some growth spurts. Still, it makes for a tired Mommy.
She was in the 98th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight at the doctor's on Thursday. The doctor was pleased that she had surpassed her birth weight and weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. so everything went well at the doctor, except she got her first shot and her heel pricked for PKU. She was NOT a happy camper - I never heard her cry so hard! But, she was consoled pretty quickly and fortunately car-rides put her right to sleep so as soon as the car started moving, she was asleep.
Last night was probably our hardest night so far. Bella was awake from 1:00 a.m. til morning just fidgeting around and crying every time the binky fell out of her mouth. So, as soon as Anthony got up, he took care of Bella while I took a nap. :) Luckily, not all nights are like this... and usually after a bad night, we have a good night. *fingers crossed*
Bella loves car rides, or being carried in her Baby Bjorn.
