2 Months!



Height: 20 3/4" - 2nd percentile 
Weight: 8# 4oz - 1st percentile 
Clothes: newborn 
Diapers: newborn 
Sleep: still sleeping really well - wakes up every 3ish hours to eat :)
Diet: breast milk - 3-4 oz per feeding... & has also started spitting up more! 
Toys: she loves her swing, play mats, and bouncer 
Milestones/firsts: she rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time on 1/23/15!!! 
Health: she is still perfectly healthy... But still has a paranoid momma! We took her to the dr for her first "sick visit" on 1/10 because I felt like she still looked really yellow and didn't think it was improving as quickly as it should. The doctor said she looked fine & they checked her bilirubin - which was still at 10, but that is not a treatable level. It was bothering me all week so I immediately felt better afterwards and was glad I took her in :) 

She also had her first trip to the ER this month... She started having cold/allergy symptoms on 1/20 but no fever and nothing extremely alarming. (Just lots of boogers and some green drainage from her left eye) Wednesday night she still didn't seem like she was feeling well & felt warm, but still didn't have a fever. We took her clothes off to try make her more comfortable and cool her down a little, and when she was sleeping she looked like she was retracting when she was breathing. I took a video and sent it to 2 of my nurse friends - who agreed with me and said that's what it looked like to them too. She didn't look like she was in "distress", but her breathing just didn't look normal to me so we decided to take her in. They did a chest x-ray (which was clear) and tested her for rsv & flu - both negative. They also suctioned her nose deeper than I could at home which seemed to give her some relief. The doctor said she saw what I was seeing, but thought she was just working a little harder because her nose was so congested. I felt kind of stupid for going in, but I'd rather be safe than sorry any day! 
Likes: rocking, swinging, eating, being swaddled, bath time, cuddling, & her paci 
Dislikes: tummy time, diaper changes, getting dressed, being strapped in the car seat
